OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Nerber asked what had been decided about the hole at the bottom of
the boat ramp?
Mr. Blazi said that he could not even see the hole at low tide. He has
had a front loader scoop out the area.
Mr. Dean suggested waiting to see if more complaints came in about this.
Mr. Wolfe said that he had launched his boat several times and had no
problem whatsoever.
Mr. Wolfe said that he had checked about the property on Rio Vista and
Riverside and according to the attorney the city owns this property.
Mrs. Negedly said that Mr. McEver could not attend the meeting, but that
he had called her and given her the information he wanted to present
to the board. She then said that Bucky had gone and measured the property
at Rio Vista and Dixwood on Riverside Drive which is 250' deep by
200' wide which is one and one-half the present size of the park and
pier. He also spoke with the City Planner about the grant from
the Department of Natural Resources and they have been turned down. He
would like to get in touch with the DER and have this area dredged and
he would like to apply for a new grant:
Mr. Wolfe said that that would be a good idea and suggested that Mr.
McEver go ahead with this.
Mr. Hardock made a motion that Mr. Hurley reapply for the grant for the
new development based on paragraph 3 of the Department of Natural Resources
letter. Mr. Dean seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
LETTER to Mr. Hurley about this grant.
Mrs. Negedly said that Mr. McEver has spoken to the City Clerk about the
marathon and it will be held on October 18, 1980. Mr. Herget will take
care of all the publicity local and out of town. This will be called
the Founders Day Marathon. I
The Friends of the Library said they would be more than willing to help
with this marathon and they would like to see a parade and would also
like the Fire Department sell hamburgers and hot dogs and drinks.

Mr. Dean said that he has spoken with Mr. Jim Scott, President of the
Jaycees of New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater and they are putting on a
race similar to this next month and if their schedule permits they will
assist us with people for the race if we need them, unless something
else comes up that would hinder them.
Mr. Wolfe asked that the 5,000 foot race letter be repeatedly put on the
agenda.
TABLE letter on 5,000 foot race (Marathon) repeatedly.
Mr. Hardock asked

if the monies made on this would go into a
These monies go into a general fund.
Mr. Wolfe asked that a figure of what the city has received from the
Community Center, since January to present be researched for the next
meeting. .\
J
Mr. Hardock said that if this board is going to be working towards
good recreation in the city, that in order to motivate the board, they
needed to know that these monies will be going for further recreation
programs and not into general funds. He felt this money should be
used to further the city's recreational facilities, such as lights
for the pavillion. ~
The board complemented Mr. Blazi on the job done at the ballfield
and the rest of the recreational facilities in the City of Edgewater.
Mr. Blazi stated that by this weekend that the pavillion at the ball-
park will be ready for people to picnic. -
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Wolfe read a letter from the Edgewater Volunteer Fire Department
concerning lighting for the new pavillion by July 4th.
Mr. Hardock made a motion that Mr. Blazi make provisions or get electrical
lights and receptacles over to the new pavillion related to the letter
that was sent in. Mr. Nerber seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED
5 - o.
Mr. Wolfe said that the board members had studied the supervisors
annual pay schedule and that the Supervisor of Parks and Recreation
was the lowest paid supervisor in the city. He felt that since Mr.
Blazi handles all park and recreation facilities, his salary should be
brought up to a comparable figure with Mr. Feeney, Mr. Wadsworth and Mr. Bosse.
Mr. Nerber made a motion to request that the council raise the annual
salary of Mr. Al Blazi to a comparable figure with Mr. Feeney, Mr.
Bosse and Mr. Wadsworth. Mr. Dean seconded the motion.
Mr. Hardock suggested that within the last year there is a vast
improvement of the city recreational facilities and Mr. Blazi should
get a raise based on the performance of his work.
Mr. Wolfe suggested that a resolution be written appointing Mr. Blazi
as the Supervisor of Parks and Recreation.
IB Mr. Nerber amended his motion to say that Mr. Blazi should get a
raise based on his performance and that a resolution be written
appointing him as Supervisor of Parks and Recreation. Mr. Dean
amended his second. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
LETTER to council.
Mr. Wolfe read part of the minutes of June 2, 1980 concerning outsiders
using the park'and pier area and especially the dock area. Mr. Wolfe
stated that the Board of Governors has not received a letter from council
concerning this matter. He then suggested sending a memo to council
directing the City Attorney take any legal,actions concerning this
p"roblem.

Mercedes Hoffma'n, 126 Wi 1 dwood., ta 1 ked to the Council about th'e problem
that Edgewater'ci'tizens have encountered when.they .try to 'use: the'
Park and Pier, especially when they want to d~cka boat. She feels.
that this area should be used by.the citizens of Edgewater that have
paid for this area and for the maintenance of.it. She wartted to know
if stickers could be issued for residents and out of town cars would
be towed away. There should be something we can do to give the
residents a chance to use this area.

Vice Mayor Rotundo said that he believed this problem had been called
to the attention of the Board of Governors who have responsibility for
the Park and Pier. The Council hopes to get some recommendations
from that Board on possible solutions to the problem.
Mr. Woods said that action preventing out of town people from using
the area would be discriminatory. Somewhat like denying Edgewater
residents the use of the beach in New Smyrna. The City could get into
a lot of trouble.
Councilman Asting requested .that the City Clerk send a letter to the
Board of Governors asking for recommendations.
Other .members of the audience spoke about this problem and suggested
possibly charging for th~ use of this area. . . '. . _'
