PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
"
,,/
,//
Monday, June 23, 1986 - 7:00 p.m.
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board was held at Moccasin
Lake Park on Monday. June 23, 1986. at 7:00 p.m. Members present included
Mr. Murray Fuchs, Mr. Herbert Hayes, Mrs. Lois Martin and co-chairperson Wood.
Mr. Mark Legue" Mr. Dorr Snoyenbos and Mrs. Jacquelyn Tobin were unable to make
the meeting. Ms. Eli2abeth McMahon was absent due to illness and hospitalization.
Mr. Ream Wilson was in attendance as was Mr. Eric Trogdon. Moccasin Lake Park
Supervisor.
Co-chairperson Wood called the meeting to order and, since a quorum was not
present, action to approve the Parks and Recreation Board minutes of Monday,
May. 19, could not be taken. This will be on the agenda for the July meeting.
Mr. Wood read a letter from Ms. McMahon explaining that she would be out for
three or four months due to illness and hospitalization. Ms. McMahon requested
that these a~sences be considered excused so that her Board membership would not be
jeopardized. Mr. Wilson stated that the City Manager concurred in this request and
that her absences will be considered excused.
Mr. Wood turned the meeting over to Mr. Wilson for reports.
RESPONSE TO BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS - Mr. Wilson explained that Parks crews had
removed and repaired water pipes that were sticking up out of a median along the
entrance walk to Crest Lake Park. This possible danger hazard was brought to our
attention by Board Member Mr. Legue. Mr. Wilson also distributed name tags to Board
Members'as requested by Mr. Fuchs and members at the last meeting. Mr. Wilson
,explained that the City Manager and he had visited' Sand Key Park and will be corres-
ponding with the County regarding active recreation facilities that might be con-
structed in the Park by the City. Mr. Wilson also explained to members that he had
written, a letter to Mr. Steve Gerakios, Chairman of the Clearwater Historic Preser-
'vatioD Board. The letter conveyed the Board's denial of the request that Edgewater
,prive be.named after Mr. Lester Dicus. However, in the letter, Mr. Wilson explained
,to Mr. Gerakios that this was a recommendation on the part of the Board and that the
request could be submitted, if desired. to the City Commission for a final decision.
Mr. Wilson has not yet received a response from the Historic Preservation Board or
from Mr. Gerakios.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE - In the interest of time and with the absence of
a quorum, Capital Improvement Projects were not discussed.
OTHER COMMENTS - Mr. Wilson showed members a Certificate of Appreciation that had
,been prepared for Mr. Eric Ford who had recently resigned from the Board. Mr. Wood
and Mr. Wilson signed this Certificate which will be sent to Mr. Ford.

COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS - Mr. Hayes expressed a concern about the recent drown-
Ings on the Courtney Campbell Causeway and asked if the City had instructional
swim programs. Mr. Wilson responded in the affirmative and stated that we
concentrate considerable effort on teaching people to swim and that it might be
of ,interest 'to the Board to have their July meeting at one of our swimming pools.
Discussion ensued regarding this meeting location and it was decided that Mr. Wilson
would send a letter to all Board members explaining which pool will host the July
meeting. Also. at that meeting. representatives of the City's Aquatic Staff will
be present to explain the City's swim program.
Mr. Fuchs inquired as to whether or not it would be appropriate for the Parks and
Recreation Boord to take 0 stand in support of requiring that fencing be placed
, around swimming pools. Mr. Wood responded that this might be an item under some-
one else's jurisdiction and questioned whether it would be appropriate for the Parks
and Recreation Board to make such a recommendation. Mr. Wilson stated that the City
is currently considering this type situation and said that he will bring additional
information to the July meeting.
Mr. Fuchs also thought it would be nice for the Parks and Recreation Board to send
a get well card to Mr. Charlie Fenton. Honorary City Commissioner. Members felt
that this would be appropriate and Mr. Wilson stated that he would bring a card to
the next meeting for signatures.

Mrs. Martin had no comments.
MOCCASIN LAKE PARK PROGRAM -' Mr. Eric Trogdon, Moccasin Lake Park Supervisor, was
introduced to members and presented a video taped program of Moccasin Lake Park.
Considerable discussion ensued by members and Mr. Trogdon explained many of the
programs and facilities of ~IDccasin Lake Park. He touched on items such as the
Bald Eagles Exhibit that the City is working on, the school teacher's program that
is currently assigned to the Park by the Pinellas County School Board, permanently
, injured ' birds that are secured through the Sun Coast Seabird Sanctuary, the new
, Song Bird'Exhibit, etc. Following this presentation by Mr. Trogdon, several of the
members and their wives took a tour of the Nature Trail around the Park. Mr. Trogdon
interpreted many of the Park's features to members and all members were most
appreciative of Mr. Trogdon and his staff for the fine work ,they are doing at Moccasin
Lake Park.
This meeting was also attended by'spouses of several members including Mrs.
Murray Fuchs, Mrs. Charles Wood and ~rrs. Sylvia Wilson., Members were invited to the
ParK early (6:00 p.m.) to bring a box dinner with drinks provided by the City.
