INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA AGENDA ITEM Department of General Services / Parks & Recreation Date: September 13, 2023 To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Acting General Services Director/Parks and Recreation Director From: Brad Dewson, Parks Superintendent Subject: Kiwanis Hobart Park Adopt -A -Park by the Treasure Coast Disc Golf Club BACKGROUND: On January 31, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Indian River County Adopt -A -Park Program. This program was created with the goal of engaging the public in assisting to keep our parks, conservation lands, and beaches free of litter. These types of programs are expected to promote responsible stewardship of the environment and serve to instill pride in our community. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The Treasure Coast Disc Golf Club (TCDG) is a non-profit organization that is interested in adopting Kiwanis Hobart Park as part of the County's Adopt -A -Park program. In addition to their primary task of litter pick-up in the Adopt -A -Park program, TCDG would like to assist in maintaining the disc golf course. Kiwanis Hobart Park is home to an 18 -hole disc golf course. This disc golf course was designed by TCDG members and volunteers. TCDG was instrumental in the course design and installation, paid for the benches, picnic tables, concrete tee pads, and helped in the course expansion from 9 holes to 18 holes. TCDG has also donated disc golf bags with discs to Indian River County Parks and Recreation. These bags can be checked out from the Parks Maintenance office for people to use on the course. TCDG has requested that through this adoption agreement, and with authorization from the Board, that the County waive the special event fee ($100 each) for up to four disc golf tournaments hosted by TCDG at Kiwanis Hobart Park per year with the understanding that funds raised by these tournaments are reinvested into the park with improvements, education, and events that promote the disc golf activities at Kiwanis Hobart Park. FUNDING: There are no additional funds necessary beyond what has been previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
