Mr. Morris reported the City has not resolved questions related to 'the path of a
proposed no,rth/south trolley system for pedestrian movement. The City also is considering
a monorail system between downtown and the beach before construction of the Memorial
Causeway Bridge commences. A location has not been chosen for a small, stand-alone
visitor information center to be run by the chambers of commerce. In response to a
question, he said the roundabout committee continues to discuss improvement proposals.
ITEM #6 - Other Business
Proposed Changes to Code re Dock Construction
Discussion ensued regarding proposed changes in the Code related to dock
construction. The County Board of Adjustments will hear variance requests. Marina staff
no longer will be involved with the process. Planning & Zoning staff will verify setback
requirements. Support was expressed for docks to be permitted to extend farther into the'
water than currently is allowed when sea grass beds need protection. Member support of
this issue was requested.
Sailing Center '
Mr. Morris said staff is working to obtain grant money to expand the handicapped
sailing program, including pier construction at the Sailing Center: The pram,used for the
program rarely capsizes. The program, which includes boats, instructors, and a chase
boat, is a good fit for the sailing center, 'which has many,dedicated volunteers. It was
, stated the Coast Guard Auxiliary also would be willing to help with the program.
Mr. Morris said Sailing Center operations currently lose $100,000 annually. He ,
hoped the program will change the erroneous conception that sailing is a sport only for the'
rich and encourage more residents to use the Sailing Center as a community resource.
Yacht Basin
Staff is researching the City's ability to install docks in the yacht basin, which could
hold up to 90 slips for boats up to 30 feet in length. A study first must be completed
related to sea grass. The facility would need power and pump out capability.
2012 Summer Olympics
Regarding the possible bid by the area for the Summer Olympics, Mr. Morris said
volleyball and sailing probably would be in Pinellas County. Interest has been expressed in
'Sand Key Park. ' The area is combining efforts with Orlando to attract the Games. The
board will be asked for input once a preliminary design for the sailing venue is complete.
