CONCESSIONS POLICY <br />A concessions policy applicable to County Parks is <br />recommended. This policy was recently approved by the <br />Board in early 1988. <br />LONG-TERM FACILITY NEEDS <br />Three Capital Improvements Programs are recommended, as <br />follows: <br />a) Resource -Based Community Parks Facilities/Ocean- <br />Front Parks C.I.P. (Page 47) <br />o This program should be implemented to provide <br />beach access. Indian River County has <br />previously made commitments to the Florida <br />DNR to improve the County and State purchased <br />lands so that public use is permitted. The <br />Program identified $3,006,000 of projects <br />within the next 20 years. <br />b) Resource -Based Community Park Facilities/Non- <br />Oceanfront Parks C.I.P. (Page 48) <br />o This program identifies improvements to parks <br />along the Indian River and Sebastian River. <br />A total of $2,350,000 is_recommended over the <br />next 20 years to provide boat ramps, parking, <br />and other amenities. <br />c) User -Based Community Park Facilities C.I.P. (Page <br />49-50) <br />o To provide ball fields, tennis courts, and <br />user type facilities including land, a <br />$5,352,000 program is recommended for the 20 <br />year planning horizon. <br />Funding of the programs include a Recreation Impact Fee <br />and various other funding sources. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends the following: <br />1. Approve and authorize implementation of the study. <br />2. Authorize preparation of a resolution to adopt the User Fee <br />schedules. <br />3. Direct staff to prepare a Request for Proposals to obtain a <br />Consultant to prepare a Recreation Impact Fee Ordinance. <br />4. Direct staff to begin the necessary work to establish a <br />Dependent Taxing District pursuant to F.S. 418 for the <br />unincorporated area. Request the five cities to create a <br />recreation district within its boundaries (see County <br />Attorney's memo in the appendix of the study) <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE <br />SUMMARY OF ACTIONS <br />APRIL 14, 1988 <br />The Committee reviewed the User Fee and Revenue Study and <br />recommended minor changes. 1) #11 Corporation should be included <br />in the North Beach Complex properties on page 47; 2) the figures <br />on page 47 are incorrect; 3) on page 48, CARL funds should be <br />changed to L&WC funds. The Committee recommended that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve the Study as amended, and use the <br />Special Taxing District for operating expenses and not for <br />capital improvements unless there is an economic decline in the <br />other revenue programs. <br />The representative from Gifford abstained from voting because the <br />Gifford Civic Progressive League did not understand portions of <br />the Study. Commissioner Bird and Jim Davis will meet with the <br />Civic Progressive League and attempt to answer their questions. <br />V1AY 1 0 1988 29 BOOK 72 m 09 <br />
