PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
J
Monday. March 24th, 1986
~
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board wae held at the Parks
and Recreation Office at the City Hall Annex on Monday, March 24th, 1986 at
7:30 p.m. Members present in~luded Nr. Eric Ford, Mr. Murray Fuchs, Mr. Herbert
Hayes, Mr. Mark Legue, Co-Chairperson Elizabeth McMahon, Mr. Dorr Snoycnbos,
Mrs. Jacquelyn Tobin and Co-Chairperson Chatles Wood. Mrs. Lois Martin was un-
able to attend. Also in attendance was Mr. Ream Wilson.
Mrs. McMahon called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. She asked for a
motion regarding the minutes of Monday, February 24th, 1986. Mr. Fuchs moved
that these minutes be approved as mailed. Mr. Ford seconded the motion which
passed.
Mrs. McMahon turned the meeting over to Mr. Wilson for reports.
o
Property - Mr. Wilson reported that the City Commission, on Thursday, March
20th, approved the purchase of the 1.4 acres immediately north of the Eddie C.
Moore Recreation Complex. Mr. Wilson reported that opposition was expressed re-
garding the purchase from homeowners living on the north side of the park who
objected to the purchase primarily because it might be used for parking and/or
the construction of a restroom/storage building. Mr. Wilson stated the purchase
was approved by the Commission conditioned on the requirement that the City Com-
mission review any site plan relating to the subject property. Specifically, the
Commission does not wish to see a parking lot or restroom/storage building con-
structed on the site. Mr. Wilson stated that staff would make every effort to
design these facilities on the south side of the park by Drew Street extended.
Further, Mr. Wilson said a condition of the purchase contract from the seller
was that ,he be able to close the property with the existing owner.
~.' .
Sailing Center - Mr. Wilson stated that the prelimary site plan for the
Sailing Center has been pulled, from the City Commission agenda in that it is an
important project and one that should wait for the Mayor's return from the Orient.
However, Mr. Wilson informed members that a letter of opposition to the Sailing
Center has been received from the Sand Key Homeowners Association. The letter
expressed. concern that the bridge fund had purchased the land and that public
facilities such as'a fire station or police station might be needed on Sand Key
more so than a Sailing Center. Mr. Wilson further stated that more discussions
will be held regarding these items. Each member received a copy of the purpose,
objectives, goals, etc. of the Sailing Center proposal.

Capital Improvement Budget - Mr. Wilson distributed to each member a listing
of possible Capital Improvement Projects which will be submitted to the City Com-
mission for consideration. Funding for these projects span a six-year period
and each project is ranked as either essential, necessary, 'important or strategic.
Highest priority will be given those projects ranked "essentialll which has to do
with health, welfare and safety.
, ..
Following the descrip~ion of projects, Mr. Wood asked if the Board members
could take the listing home with them and bring their recommendations to the
Board meeting of April 28th. Mr. Wilson responded that the Department's recom-
mendation must be submitted this week but that he felt the Boardls recommendations

might wait and be submitted to the City Manager and City Commi~Bion prior to the
budget hearings. He said if this was not possible, he would contact Board mem-
bers and a special meeting would be arranged. Members discussed various projects
and Mr. Wilson advised that decisions concerning funding are most difficult. Each
project submitted by the Parks and Recreation Department must compete for limited
dollars with other projects submitted by all other City Departments. Parks and
Recreation impact fees are extremely valuable but considerable General Fund monies
will be requested.
Other Reports - Nrs. McMahon asked Mr. Wilson if there were further reports.
Mr. Wilson responded that the City had not heard from Skycre8t Baptist Church re-
garding the contract that was submitted for the purchase of their thirteen acres.
He informed members that they would be kept apprised.
Comments by Board Members -
Mrs. Tobin - No comment.
Elizabeth McMahon - Inquired about Capital Improvement Project #38 (Sailing
Center/Sand Key). The listing of ClP projects showed a budget expenditure of
$197,400 which, is considerably less than the amount of money contained in the
Sailing Center proposal. Mr. Wilson stated that the Sailing Center proposal also
included a roadway and public parking lot which were not actually a part of the
Sailing Center. However, he indicated that he would check to see if an error 'had
been made in not including those funds on the listing of the Capital Improvement
Project.
.
Herbert Hayes - Informed members that he had visited Moccasin Lake Park for
the first time and stated that he was most impressed with the facilities.
Dorr Snoyenbos - No comment.
Charles Wood - No comment.

Murray Fuchs Expressed strong concerns about the City's position on liabil-
ity insurance. He felt that this was an extremely important topic and that adequate
insurance must be provided to protect taxpayers. Considerable discussion ensued
regarding insurance by Board members. Mr. Wilson stated that meetings were being
held regarding this subject and that he wae meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 25th,
,with Mr. Bob Ellis of the City's Risk Management Department. One of the reasons
for the meeting is that many youth activities have national liability insurance
coverage which possibly could be extended to cities for protection. For example,
the ASA (Amateur Softball Association) invites cities to pay a $50 annual premium
" to gain one million dollars of liability coverage for problems that might arise
out of adult softball activities. A prerequisite is that all teams be registered
with the ASA. Nr. Fuchs said that this subject is very important and that major
decisions should be made. Mr. Legue concurred with Mr. Fuche and all members ex-
pressed concern about the number of suits being filed in many various types of
situations.

Mark Legue - Asked about the possibility of park development at Wood Drive
property. Mr. Wilson responded that this site stays wet during a good portion of
the year and that it has been investigated through the Engineering Department.
However, drainage improvements that might result in keeping the property dry would
appear cost prohibitive.
