PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
Monday, November 26, 1990
~
( \
The regular meeting of Parks and Recreation Board was held at the City Hall
Annex at 10 South Missouri Avenue on Monday, November 26, 1990 at 7:30 p.m.
Members present included Mrs. Paula Boulton, Co~Chairperson Suzanne Claessens,
Mrs. Vera Nigrelli. Mrs. Joan Ulrich, and Mr. Mike Williams. Mr. Henry Cruise
was ill and unable to attend. Also, Mr. Mike Palouian, Mr. John Shuttleworth
and Mrs. Norma Soukup were not able to attend. Mr. Ream Wilson was in
attendance.
Mrs. Nigrelli moved that the Board Minutes of Monday, October 22, 1990 be
approved as mailed. This motion was seconded by Mrs. Boulton and passed.
Mrs. Claessens turned the meeting over to Mr. Wilson for reports.
Sailina Center - Mr. Wilson displayed a conceptual drawing of the new
Sailing Center as prepared by the architects, Fowler & Associates. He explained
the selection procedure for selecting an architectural firm and stated that the
conceptual drawing included almost all of the "Wish List" items that were
suggested by th.e Sa i 1 ing Center Conunittee. The Sa i 1 ing Center Conunittee has been
in operation for many years in working toward this facility. As shown on the
conceptual drawing, Mr. Wilson explained that the bottom floor would accommodate
thirty-nine prams, an office for the supervisor, storage room, workshop, and
restrooms fully equipped for the handicapped. The second floor will include one
main room that will seat a maximum of one hundred ninety-two people at round
tables. This room will be able to be divided in half for two separate meetings
being conducted simultaneously. Restroorns are also available upstairs along with
a storage room for furniture, a storage room for mechanical equipment, and a
small kitchen facility built into the west wall. Primary features of the second
floor include a ten foot wide wood deck along the east and north sides of the
building and glass windows from floor to ceiling along the east and north sides.
Mr. Wilson informed members that the design had one hundred percent approval from
members of the Sailing Center Committee. The building, when finished, will
accommodate numerous water oriented group meetings and educational programs,
along with being available for private rentals. Mrs. Ulrich indicated that a
larger kitchen might be needed. Mr. Wilson responded that the Sailing Center
Committee had reviewed all of the items in the building and felt that the kitchen
facility provided would be sufficient. Many activities conducted in buildings
today are catered. ,
Penny For Pinellas Projects - Mr. Wilson distributed copies of Capital
Improvement projects scheduled for 1990/91. He also stated that requests for
proposals for nine of these projects have been sent to the consultant engineer,
King Engineering Inc. Some of the projects include a new parking lot at Sid
Lickton field and an extension to the Crest Lake parking lot, parking lot for the
Sailing Center, renovation of the downstairs of the Morningside Recreation
Center, redesign of Marymont Park, an educational building for Moccasin Lake
Park, an addition to the Martin Luther King Center, etc. Mrs. Claessens asked
if the recreational bicycle paths were a part of the "Pinellas Trail."
Mr. Wilson stated that this was not the case and that the particular project

involved in the Capital Improvement Program includes a bicycle trail on Florida
Power right..of-way from Moccasin lake Park to approximately Harn Boulevard.
Questions and answers ensued regarding the projects.
Rental Polic~ - Mr. Wilson explained that a new "Resolution" regarding the
rental of pUblic buildings, recreation centers and library meeting rooms will be
presented to 't.he City Commission at the Commission Meeting of December 20. Based
on direction received from the Commission at the last meeting, a "Co-Sponsoredu
category has been re-established for non profit groups to use library meeting
rooms and recreation centers at no charge if the groups are comprised primarily
of City residents. Groups not having a certain number of City residents will be
required to pay a basic rental and hourly charge if applicable. Mr. Wilson
informed members that this Resolution has not yet been approved and that it will
be considered by the City Commission on December 20. Members appeared to be in
favor of the recommended Resolution.
Other Reports - Mr. Wilson stated that a letter explaining the status of
the uKiosk" for Moccasin Lake Park should be sent to people who donated.
Specifica lly, seventeen people donated $100 each toward the "Park Thoughts
Program" for the kiosk. Members thought it would be a good idea to send a status
report letter to these donors explaining that, unless unforeseen circumstances
arise, the kiosk should be completed and ready for dedication at the "Eagle/Arbor
Day Ceremonyll to be held in the spring. Donors will be sent letters inviting
them to attend this dedication.
Mr. Wilson also ,informed members that an application for a "Florida
Recreation Development Assistance Program" grant might be filed for the
development of ItForest Run Park. II Although Penny For Pinellas dollars are
available for this project, it appears like a good idea to submit the project for
consideration for a fifty percent grant.
Since the December Meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board would normally
be held on Christmas Eve, December 24, members, by consensus agreed that this
meeting should be canceled. Therefore, unless a special or emergency meeting is
called, the next meeting of the Board will be in January, 1991.
In response from a question at last month's meeting, Mr. Wilson stated that
he checked with the Building Maintenance Division and confirmed that pressure
treated lumber has not been used in the wood slat benches around the City.
Although there have been some problems with people who have a reaction to
chemicals and pressure treated lumber, it will be investigated. Also,
Mrs. Boulton recommended that the Department look into purchasing benches made
of recycled plastics. The Department has two such benches and Mr. Wilson agreed
that this will be pursued.
As a result of last month's meeting, Mr. Wilson also informed members that
the shrubs in front of the Crest Lake Park sign have been trimmed so that the
light better illuminates the lettering. Further, materials for replacements of
the obstacle course at Crest Lake Park have been ordered. Signs should ,be
installed prior to the next meeting of the Board.

'Mrs. Ulrich complimented the playground apparatus installed several months
ago at the Center Foundation. She felt that more projects of this type are
needed in 'the City to bring the community together. A 11 in attendance
compl~mented this ambitious playground project.
