Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />DATE: September 4, 1998 <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director U <br />SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting of September 1998 - <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />During the Sept. 1, 1998 meeting of the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee, the Committee recommended that the Board of County <br />Commissioners approve the following: <br />1) Allocate $20,000 of the funds from the Florida Boating <br />Improvement Program (FBIP)to the City of Sebastian for repair <br />of the Yacht Club and Main Street boat ramps. Approximately <br />$75,000 is available at this time in Indian River County's <br />allocation. <br />2) Allocate $20,000 of the FBIP funds to the City of Vero Beach <br />for the Royal Palm Point Project. <br />3) Lease to the Vero Beach Humane Society five additional acres <br />west of their current five acre site on South Gifford Road for <br />the purpose of constructing a Dog Park and other ancillary <br />uses. This is contingent on the Florida DEP allowing the old <br />land fill site to be used for this purpose. <br />4) Authorize staff to seek law enforcement personnel(or if none <br />will volunteer, other qualified individuals) to reside at <br />Gifford Park, Round Island Park, and South County Park, to <br />deter vandalism. The County will make available, water, and <br />pay one half electrical utilities cost(excluding phone, cable <br />TV and solid waste.) The Parks Division budget may need to be <br />increased to fund the work. <br />Staff recommends approval of the above recommendation. If <br />additional funding is needed, a future request will be needed. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously approved the recommendations as set <br />forth in the Memorandum. <br />September 15, 1998 <br />-31- <br />86bk -107 PnE <br />i <br />
