BOOK 76 FAGE 153 <br />City of Sebastian is anxious to see such an agreement and <br />determine if it can be the basis of a similar type of agreement <br />between them and the County. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that staff is working in <br />this direction. <br />Councilman Michael Wodtke felt that in the last two years we <br />have made great progress. He believed the cooperative effort is <br />working very well and hoped we can _continue with mutual coopera- <br />tion countywide. <br />OLD JAIL SITE RENOVATIONS <br />City Manager Little displayed artists' drawings of the <br />proposed renovation, and Director Callahan expressed her <br />enthusiasm about what is proposed. <br />City Finance Administrator Tom Nason reported that they <br />expect to go out to contract for the proposed renovations very <br />shortly and hope to be done by about Christmas if all goes well. <br />It was noted that they have run into some unexpected expenses <br />with asbestos that had to be removed, as well as underground <br />tanks. <br />Commissioner Bird asked Mrs. Callahan about the function of <br />the building, and Mrs. Callahan advised that the building will <br />house the administrative offices for the City/County Recreation <br />Department. They will have meeting rooms, room for exercise <br />classes, room for storage, and also room for all the registration <br />for the various programs. They have an old warehouse building <br />that they now will be able to tear down, which will free up some <br />space for parking in the downtown area. They will have lots of <br />room, probably around 16,500 sq. ft. <br />Mrs. Callahan informed those present that on February 22nd, <br />they will have an official ribbon cutting and grand opening of <br />the new renovations done at Riverside Park at 8:30 A.M., and at <br />11:00 A.M. the same morning, there will be a ribbon cutting <br />ceremony for the grand opening of Golden Sands Park. <br />10 <br />
