ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED THE REQUEST FROM <br />THE KIWANIS CLUB FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BATH—HOUSE AND TOILET FACILITY <br />NEAR THE SWIMMING LAKE AT KIWANIS—HOBART PARK, AS OUTLINED IN THE <br />FOLLOWING LETTER: <br />Kiwanis Club ®f Vero Beach <br />{ <br />P.O. Box 6022 <br />VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960 <br />January lb, 1979 <br />Mr. William C. Wodtke, Jr., Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners of <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />Dear Mr. Wodtke: <br />The purpose of this letter is to reinforce to the Board of County Commissioners <br />the commitment of the Kiwanis Club of Vero Beach to continue in the development of <br />the Kiwanis-Hobart Park as a recreational facility for Indian River County.' We have <br />been involved in the park's development for more than ten years, both with financial <br />aid and man -power to do same of the work at the park site. We are proud of the <br />facility and look forward to the days in the future when there are more activities <br />accomplished at the park. <br />Being a service club which is dependent on fund raising projects in order to <br />provide the financial resources we can contribute to the park puts us in the difficult <br />position of not having the funds to do all we would like. Our club's Board of Directors <br />has reinforced its dedication to'the support of the park and we want the Board of <br />County Commissioners to know our feelings in this regard. j <br />Over the past few months there have been several discussions about the need for <br />a bath -house and toilet facility in the vicinity of the swimming lake. These dis- <br />cussions have gone as far as having several contractors give us cost estimates for <br />the construction of such a facility. It is my recollection that these costs range <br />from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars. At the present time the Kiwanis Club of <br />Vero Beach is in a position to designate $3,300.00 towards the construction of this { <br />much needed building. We are hopeful that the Board of County Commissioners will <br />have a provision in the county budget for the balance of the funds and that some <br />action can be taken to construct•the building in the near future, perhaps prior .to ; <br />the coming.summer when it will be needed most. { <br />The efforts of the Board of County Commissioners in the development of the park <br />has been greatly appreciated by the members of our club, and by the entire county, <br />and we hope you will be able to continue in this fine work.. We ask that .you advise <br />us of any assistance we may render in the future park development. Our Kiwanis- <br />Hobart Park Committee Chairman, Fred Carlsen, is ready to coordinate activities in <br />this regard. <br />Very truly yours, <br />KIWANIS CLUB OF VERO BEACH <br />.
