Administrator Baird clarified that he, not the Recreation Director Cliff Crawford, had <br />made the decision to close the pool for part of the year. He pointed out that Brevard and St. Lucie <br />Counties leave their pools open only during the summer months, and he did not feel it was unusual <br />to close them during the winter months. He said that during the off-season there were about eight <br />people a day visiting the pool, costing the County $84,000, about $138.00 per visit. <br />Commissioner Flescher, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, felt <br />that the numbers were incorrect and believed the attendance would have been higher if the pool <br />had been heated. <br />Administrator Baird disclosed that the North County pool is different from the Gifford <br />pool because it is regulation size, it can host regional swimming events, and it gets more use than <br />the Gifford pool. He indicated that if the Board wanted to open the Gifford pool for eight months, <br />even though the millage had been set, he could reduce the Contingency in MSTU. <br />Budget Director Jason Brown clarified that prior to this year there had only been one <br />Recreation Department budget, not separate budgets for the Gifford Pool, North County Pool, or <br />Ocean Rescue. Due to requests from the Taxpayer's Association and various residents, separating <br />them was just accomplished this year. He said that staff divided the budget and had to guesstimate <br />allocations from the prior year's budget. He acknowledged that adjustments had to be made due to <br />over/under allocations, and he believed that since there is now a history, future numbers will be <br />more accurate. <br />Pastor Burson told the Board how Children's Services and his church had provided the <br />necessary funds to start the Hope Academy. He listed the services and benefits that the Academy <br />provides to its students, and voiced concerns over the loss of funds. <br />SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 5 <br />
