NEW BUSINESS
Bike Path/New Elementarv School/Roberts Road
Mr. Corder introduced Mrs. Gillespie and Mrs. Wagner to the Board
and stated they had formed a grass roots coordination program for
bike paths for Edgewater. Mrs. Gillespie stated the committee's
goal is to raise 50% of ten miles of concrete bike paths within
the City. All funds raised would be deposited in the Recreation
Department's account earmarked for "Bikepaths/Bikeways. " The
Recreation Department would be kept informed of all the
committee's activities and the committee is asking for Council's
approval of the committee's functions and to waive the fees for
peddling and soliciting. She stated they have 16 businesses who
want to place donation cans and the Chamber is also working with
them and getting order blanks for t-shirts to be sold. Also,
they have collected information on possible grant monies for bike
path committees. Mr. Montgomery asked if they wanted to pick
the spots for the bike paths to be located and Mrs. Gillespie
said they would give suggestions and the final decision would be
made by City personnel. Mr. Corder said the priority for a bike
path on Roberts Road would be most likely, as the State is
probably going to be widening Indian River Boulevard in a few
years and placing bike paths there, and the County will be
taking care of Park Avenue. Mr. Lanchoney noted that some kind
of signs should be posted on the areas in the City which are used
as bike ways now and the Board agreed.
Mrs. Mooney moved to send a recommendation to Council from the
Park Board, stating the Bike Path Committee had their full
support and for the Council to waive fees for soliciting and
peddling for this committee to hold fund-raisers, sell t-shirts,
place donation cans, and posters in City businesses. Mr.
Lanchoney seconded the motion and it CARRIED 3-0. The Board
thanked Mrs. Gillespie and Mrs. Wagner for all of their hard
work so far, and hoped this committee will be successful in their
efforts to raise money for bike paths in Edgewater.
