<br />Mr. Blum understood and explained that metal buildings are capable of withstanding 140 <br />mph winds. <br /> <br /> <br />11.H. SOUTH COUNTY REGIONAL PARK – INDOOR <br />MULTI-PURPOSE RECREATION FACILITY(RECREATION) <br /> <br />Director Clifford Crawford reviewed his memorandum of February 5, 2004 and advised that <br />the Indian River County Parks and Recreation Committee unanimously supported the development <br />of an indoor multi-purpose recreation facility. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation and make it a 30,000 to 40,000 square foot <br />facility because we are growing in that south county area, <br />and the pressure to build indoor recreation space for <br />basketball, volleyball, rainy day programs, classes, etc., is <br />enormous and this is an incredible opportunity to do it. <br /> <br />Under discussion, Chairman Ginn asked about the funding to be used for this building, and <br />Acting County Administrator Baird advised there is presently $1.7 million set aside in this fiscal year <br />and next year another $600,000 for a total of $2.3 million. <br />Frank Coffey <br />, 1200 Admirals Walk, recounted plans for a south county park called for <br />multi-purpose fields, basketball courts, and a pool. Like the north county the area is growing and <br />will need a pool in the near future. He did not doubt that an indoor facility is also needed, but <br />perhaps it should be in a more central location. <br />Discussion ensued on building size. <br />February 17, 2004 18 <br /> <br />
