The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Vernon Slavens, 821 Jamaica Avenue, Sebastian, representative <br />of the North County Pool and Recreation Complex Board, distributed <br />copies of a report entitled "Results of North County Community <br />Needs Survey" to the Board members. He explained that his 700 - <br />member group is- actively working to get a community pool and <br />recreational complex in the north county area. They found four <br />possible locations and have contacted the YMCA for management of <br />the pool after it is constructed. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked whether this project was presented <br />to the Parks and Recreation Committee. <br />Commissioner Bird responded that Mr. Slavens' group has not <br />submitted the proposal to the Parks and Recreation Committee. He <br />advised that funds are earmarked for a north county recreation <br />complex but Mr. Slavens' proposal is not included. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that half a million -dollars <br />was earmarked specifically for north county, but we have not <br />progressed to -a point of specific location or specific facilities. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the survey of north county <br />residents, and the Board members agreed that Mr. Slavens should <br />develop his plan and present it to the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee. <br />Commissioner Adams pointed out that this is an indication of <br />the growing need for a community recreation complex in the north <br />county and was delighted that the citizens are getting things <br />rolling. <br />Curtis Raywood, north county resident, confirmed the need for <br />a pool and recreational facility in the north county and felt it <br />would be a plus to the community. <br />Lane Rroegel, fund raising chairman for the concerned citizens <br />of north county, confirmed the need for a community pool and urged <br />the Board to put it through. <br />Commissioner Eggert reminded everyone that there are wonderful <br />programs for children in the North County Library. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the public hearing. <br />MAY 7i 1994 21 <br />aooK 92 P!I �E 42,6 <br />
