r r � had approached the School Board for some assistance in this endeavor since it was an educational matter. Mr. Edwards did not believe the School Board would be of any assistance. He pointed out that just this morning the Board of County Commissioners approved a large amount of money to be spent on a beach management plan and wondered why the Head Start program wasn't considered just as important. Commissioner Bird felt the Board should hear from Mr. Cartwright of the West Wabasso Progressive Civic League. Mr. Cartwright summarized what would be needed for the Civic League to use the cafeteria. He knew that many repairs were done by the Civic League because he made some of the repairs himself. They spent $5,000 on the classrooms, but did not repair anything on the old frame building because they thought that would be moved. He felt that staff's estimate of $20,000-$25,000 for repairs was way out of line and that a more realistic assessment should be made. Mr. Cartwright stressed that the community would not be using the cafeteria every day, and he felt that the Headstart program should have their own kitchen. Mr. Edwards stated that they had no problem with that as they could make Classroom 9 into a kitchen very easily. Commissioner Wodtke thought that the problem was getting it approved by HRS and the County Health Department. Vice Chairman Scurlock noted that we could talk about this all day, and he again suggested that Administrator Wright and staff make an assessment of the site and then negotiate the best deal possible. Mr. Cartwright pointed out that the Civic League wants the specific use of the cafeteria on an infrequent use basis and that daily use by Head Start would be subject to a different set of regulations. Administrator Wright stated that the kitchen water would require chlorination. 59 JUL 17 1985aooK �. IkJ-E ��
