Mr. Thomas noted that neither he nor Sebastian Mayor Pat <br />Flood necessarily agree with Mr. McQueen on this expansion. <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT <br />1. Agreement with North County Recreation <br />Chairman Bird reported that the committee has determined <br />that there never has been a formal agreement between the Board of <br />County Commissioners and North County Recreation, and it is felt <br />that since we are continuing to fund them, it is necessary to <br />have something in writing. Attorney Brandenburg and Attorney Van <br />de Voorde have prepared an agreement which was reviewed and <br />approved by the Parks & Recreation Committee, which will be <br />coming to the Board for approval at the next meeting. <br />2. Ramps for Handicapped <br />Chairman Bird continued that it was brought to the <br />Committee's attention that we need to be more.cognizant of the <br />fact that people in wheelchairs need to use our elevated walkways <br />and view the ocean and even get down to the beach area. At <br />Wabasso Beach we have a ramp which is fairly steep, but it can be <br />used to get a wheelchair up to the boardwalk. It is not <br />possible, however, for a wheelchair to get from the boardwalk <br />down to the beach area, and this would necessitate an additional <br />structure that we do not have funds to build right now. The <br />Chairman stated that he would like staff to look for any grants <br />that might be available to do this for the handicapped. <br />3. Possible DonationsatKiwanis-Hobart Park <br />The Chairman noted that there are two enclaves at <br />Kiwanis-Hobart Park that the County does not own - the Dale <br />property, which consists of about 10 acres at the corner of <br />Hobart, Road and Kings Highway. He reported that they have been <br />pursuing the possibility of getting this donated to the county <br />and have been in contact with the estate. Mr. Thomas feels the <br />next step should be for our attorney to discuss with the attorney <br />handling the estate, the tax advantages of a donation. The other <br />so-called enclave is a 40 -acre piece in the southern portion of <br />65 <br />JUL 2 0 1983 Booz 54 PAGE 161 I <br />
