Commissioner Bowman continued to emphasize that it is very <br />important to stop erosion on Jungle Trail, and Commissioner Lyons <br />also wished to see stabilization of Jungle Trail which he felt is <br />a continuing problem, and felt the Gifford Park area should be <br />the second priority. <br />Mr. Thomas did not feel there is any problem in working out <br />what can be done on each project, but noted that the problem is <br />to be sure the contract is signed and in Tallahassee by Monday. <br />He pointed out that if the Commission will sign the contract, <br />then staff can proceed with designs, plans, etc., for the various <br />projects. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons to authorize the <br />Chairman to sign the Small Business Administration Contract for <br />the Parks and Recreational Area Development Program. <br />Discussion continued at length regarding which projects <br />deserved top priority. <br />Commissioner Bowman argued in favor of Jungle Trail, but <br />Chairman Bird agreed with Mr. Palmiotto that Jungle Trail is a <br />pretty major undertaking., which he doubted could be accomplished <br />between now and September 30th. <br />After further debate, Commissioner Lyons suggested amending <br />his Motion to set priorities, i.e., Jungle Trail 1st, Gifford <br />2nd, Hobart Park 3rd, and 17th St. 4th. <br />Administrator Wright concurred that it would be wise to <br />prioritize; let Mr. Thomas work out the details; and then see <br />what we can get out of the grant. <br />Board members continued to opt for different combinations of <br />priorities, and Commissioner Lyons withdrew his Motion. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />authorized the Chairman to sign the SBA Contract <br />for the grant funds and to provide the necessary <br />correspondence applying for the funds. <br />69 <br />JUL 201983 Boox 54 pAr. 95- <br />
