Page 2 of 5 pages " v , , o o u RESOLUTIONS None OLD BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING ON BUILDING TO BE ERECTED BY THE SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB Mr. Carl Shell, President of the Edgewater Shuffle Board Club, said the Club is requesting permission to erect a building which would be connected to the building now out at the Park and Pier. He said it will be paid for by the Shuffleboad Club with no cost to the City. He said it is very dangerous for older people to go across the street to use rest rooms. They have Tournaments on these courts from time to time and the people come from allover Vol usia County. They definitely need a Club House. The building would be turned over to the City and then leased back to the Shuffleboarid Club. A question was asked as to whether the Firemen could use the building for their 4th of July Celebration. Mr. Shell said he would say they could. A question was asked as to whether children could use this building. Vice Mayor Lodico said the Building would be leased to the Shuffleboard Club. We have a community center building for all other activities. We definitely will have to have some rules and regulations on this building. He said the building will be built entirely by the Shuffleboard Club and the only cost to the City will be the plumbing. Mr. Grant Hoover, member of the Volunteer Fire Department, said he could not understand why the firemen have to pay $15 for the use of the Community Center Building if the Shuffleboard Club could have a building of their own. Councilman Walls said the Firemen are not obligated to pay this amount. It is a voluntary action of the Fire Department. The Board of Governors never bill the Fire Department for using the Hall. Mr. Richard Hanson, Fire Chief, asked if this building would go along with the original plans for the Park and Pier. He said he was sure this would interfere with the parking. Mr. Shell said the building would only take five spaces of the parking area. Former Mayor Dana T. Armstrong asked about the liability insurance for this building. Vice Mayor Lodico said he saw no reason why the City couldn't pay for the insurance as they pay for all other insurance for the City. Concerning the original plans for the Park and Pier, Councilman Walls said he was sure there was a building on the original plans for the Park and Pier.
