AlL,-... . w ~ October 8, 1980 TO: Board of Governors FROM: Mayor Robert"H. Christy SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Department It has been brought to. my attention the name of Parks and Recreation Department is misleading since we do not have a Recreation Department, as such. This Department presently is responsible for not only the maintenance of parks, but also for most city buildings including the library, City Hall, Community Center, Shuffle- board court, etc. This inCludes lighting, plumbing, roof repair, painting and refurbishing. Therefore you might wish to recommend to the Mayor and City Council that a more appropriate designation of this department would be Parks and Maintenance Department. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Dear Sirs, Due to recent events concerning myself and personal experiences with the present Council, I feel opinions from Boards as well as non- board citizens are not considered and is of no value. Therefore I submit this resignation and feel my time could be spent on more progressive matters. I hope in the future to regain my Board Position when the efforts I or anyone else make will show positive results.

Blazi Footrace and Little League and Membership your letter regarding a Founders Day 5,000 Meter Foot Race " waS read to the City Council at their meeting on September 29th." The Council voted to grant permission to hold this race. In your letter you mentioned October 18th as the date of the race and the question has been raised as to whether or not the Board would be ready by this date, in view of the need to secure trophies, t-shirts, flyers, etc. Please advise the Council as to your progress. The Council also discussed the need to establish little league te~ in the City of Edgewater. They are most anxious to have the Board make this a priority project. The Council realizes the Board would need to enlist the aide of parents, school authorities and local businessmen to create the necessary volun- teer group and sponsors for this to be a Success. The ballpark is nearing completion and represents .the expenditure of a large sum of money to the City. It would be beneficial for all the local residents to utilize the facility. The Board should also consider attracting the local mens and womens softball teams to the area and any other events that might wish to use the facilities. . The Board of Governors is presently operating without a.full membership. Any recommendations you might have of persons. interested in serving on this Board should be sent to the Council.
