NOV 18 1986 BOOK 66 on 462 existing funding budgeted to do a conceptual plan, and he would like to see us proceed with that. Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas noted that the - Board authorized up to $50,000 out of the special trust fund to commence engineering and conceptual planning for the entire park system. So far we have spent around $6,000, and he believed that such a conceptual plan could be used at any site the County ended up buying. This account, which is the fund set up on monies from lands that are sold, currently has $130,000 in it less $6,500. Commissioner Eggert asked if the fact that this particular site will encompass wellfields will affect the conceptual plan. Director Davis advised that the welifields will be 700-900' down so they should not interfere with any plans. Commissioner Bird continued that the third step in the process after we determine what we need and what it will cost, is to determine where the money will come from; so, the Committee will be coming up with some options such as sale of surplus land or contributions from the library and utilities. He felt we will have to pool several sources of funds together, and advised that Director Davis would like to have us include a study of the feasability of user fees for some of our park facilities. Director Davis informed the Board that the firm who did the Golden Sands plan is May, Southard & Etheridge, a multi - disciplined firm with considerable experience. They have done work for the state at Sebastian Inlet Park and designed Spessard Holland Park in Brevard County. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Eggert. the Board unanimously authorized staff to negotiate a supplemental agreement to the Golden Sands Professional Service Agreement to include a master plan design for the 20th Avenue Oslo Road property, a master plan for the Fairgrounds, and also a user fee study. 92
