ITEM 1t5 -Old Business
a) Capital Project Update -
Mr. Dunbar reviewed progress on a skate park at SPJC. It is expected the outside facilities
will be Quit-claimed deeded to the City, then a 20- to 30-year lease for the field house will be
executed. Target date to take over operation is April 10r May1, Operation will be made up of
reallocation of existing resources. mostly staff, and new revenues that will be generated from
program fees. In response to a Question from Member Wiand regarding grant money for the
skate park, Mr _ Dunbar said the city could not apply for a grant at this time because it did not
own the land or have a long-term lease. The matching $200,000 allocated for that project is
still available.
Mr. Dunbar said Countryside Infrastructure Improvement was a Pennies \I initiative to provide
improvements requested by the community. Staff is recommending adding a multi-purpose
space on north side of building which would provide the opportunity to operate 4 to 7 .
programs there simultaneously plus expand the fitness room. This item will be presented to
the City Commission on April 6, 2000. The contract is expected to be awarded by July 1 and
completed by the end of this year.
Mr. Dunbar said the department is seeking $2 million for Parks & Recreation initiatives,
including the North Greenwood Recreation Center. increased funding for Ross Norton
Recreation Center, and a dedicated senior citizens center, possibly constructed near the Lawn
Bowls club. Potential revenue source is through Pennies II monies available from the $12
million federal grant for the Memorial Causeway Bridge.

In response to a question from Mr. Lindner regarding progress at the McMullen Tennis
Complex, Mr _ Chin said he is studying the possibilities for that location relative to
environmental issues. Replacing trees and providing retention areas within budget are
concerns.
