Bird REFERENCES: Commissioner The Parks and Recreation Committee made the following motions at their October 16, 1986 meeting: The Committee unanimously recommended authorization to proceed with the restroom conceptual plan, and make application to the Florida Boating Improvzme_nt Fund for an amount not to exceed $45-,000 to complete the Joe Earman Park. The Committee unanimously recommended a $20,000 contribution toward the cost of paving the roadways to the launching ramps at Bob Summers Park, the money to come from Florida Boating Improvement Fund. It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners approve the applications to the Florida Boating Improvement Fund for the above projects. Chairman Scurlock had a question relating to the priority of Joe Earman Park as he knew Blue Cypress Lake Park has had serious problems with their restrooms, and he wondered which park has more use. Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas felt there is no question that the boat ramp at Bob Summers Park is the most used in the county; he felt Blue Cypress Park is mainly used on the weekends. He noted that in any event we will have another appro- priation of boating funds in January, probably around $25,000. Commissioner Bird inquired about the status of the Blue Cypress package sewer plant, and Director Thomas assumed the plans were drawn but was not sure of the exact status. In the ensuing discussion regarding restroom facilities, 0 Director Thomas advised that we will be using portalets on the Joe Earman island. park and that the $45,000 will be used for actual construction of the pavilions, boat ramps, docks, etc. 6
