DISCUSSION
Mr. Mitchell gave some background on how this Task Force was created and
its purpose. The Task Force was formed for the express purpose of compiling
information relative to the recreation needs of the city, present and future.
The Board is limited to making a study and survey report to submit to Council.
A list of current facilities was prepared by Mike Avery and passed out. It
was the opinion of all that these facilities should be inspected at the next
meeting.
The demands for more facilities by the community have been mainly directed
to the Board of Governors. Mr. Avery said there is a demand for more rac-
quetball courts, also a complaint there is no time limit on these courts.
Mr. Pendleton said residents are complaining because they cannot get on the
tennis courts because non-residents are using them, that we should charge
a user fee to non-residents as New Smyrna does.
Mr. Wolfe gave a brief history of activities, noting the need for another
basketball court and 4 more tennis courts immediately. Also, there is no
adult softball league in Edgewater, and when they go to New Smyrna they
have to pay a User's Fee of $3.
Mr. Nolan felt we should see what improvement is needed to maintain the
existing facilities, the immediate future needs and look at the existing
budget and future funding. Discussion followed that there is no funding
for recreational activities at present, and funding for maintenance comes
from the Federal revenue sharing budget and Mike's regular departmental
budget. Mr. Mitchell will bring the budget that is currently being used
to maintain the current facilities to the next meeting.
Moved by Mr. Mitchell, seconded by Mr. Nolan, UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED, to hold
regular meetings on the second Monday of the month at 1:30 PM in the
Community Center.
Moved by Mr. Nolan, seconded by Mr. Wolfe, UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED, to have a
visual inspection of current facilities at the next meeting and discuss
the existing funding and budget.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:38 PM.
