APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Griesse motioned to approve the minutes of the October 12, 1983 meeting.
The motion was seconded by,Mrs. Thomas and CARRIED 4-0.
OLD BUSINESS - Christmas Lighting
The Chairman introduced Mr. Ron Clark with the Clark Sales Display in Longwood,
Florida, who had brought some samples of the Christmas pole ornaments which his
company sells. He explained that a permanent bracket is attached to the pole,
and the ornament is simply slipped into that, which makes mounting it very easy.
The members discussed the various ornaments, and, noted that they were lower in
price than those previously recommended. Mrs. Thomas commented that Council
had agreed to $2500 from Federal Revenue Sharing funds for next year. The mem-
bers decided to request eight trees, eight Christmas candles, and 5 garland
bells with the funds to be taken from 1983-1984 operating supplies. A motion
was made by Mr. Griesse, seconded by Mrs. Thomas and CARRIED 4-0, to recommend
to Council the purchase of eight Christmas trees, (Catalog #P-IOl), eight
candles, (Catalog #P-128), and five bells, (Catalog #A-030) per proposal
submitted by Clark Sales Display, and the funds to come from Parks and
Recreation Department FY 1984 Budget, Account No. 52572.52 (Operating Supplies) .
Mr. Wolfe suggested that Mr. Clark come back in January or February of '84,
when funds are available from Federal Revenue Sharing to purchase the ornaments
for next year.
Mr. Wolfe said he had talked to Florida Power and Light Company reo their
taking down the old lights along Park Avenue. He is waiting for a call back
from them.
The secretary asked who would put the ornaments up when they are delivered.
Mr. Wolfe said that he thought they could get Public Works to do it, and if
they cannot do it, he is sure they could get some interested people to do it.
NEW BUSINESS
Tables damaged at Oak Hill - replacement of
Mr. Wolfe explained that the tables in the Community Center were loaned to
the City of Oak Hill. Several tables were damaged as a result. He explained
that half of the tables belong to the Edgewater Fire Department. He said
that the Mayor of Oak Hill has agreed to replace the tables and pay for them.
Mr. Wolfe did not feel that repairing the tables is satisfactory, as they would
be too heavy to move. He suggested sending a memo to the City to have them
replaced and send the bill to Oak Hill. He asked that a memo be sent to the
City Clerk concerning this.
New Building for Ball Park
Mr. Wolfe said that he had anticipated that the new Director of Parks and
Recreation would be present when he put this item, and the following item,
New Lighting, on the Agenda. The members felt these items should be brought
up at a later meeting with the new Director so that he would be able lto provide
input into the plans.
MISCELLANEOUS
The secretary distributed papers which had come into the office concerning

Special Olympic seminars; the members felt this would be something the Board
should get involved in perhaps at a later time.
The members discussed whether or not to become a member of the Florida
Recreation & Park Association, Inc. at a cost of $50.00 annually. They
felt that the information provided would be very beneficial to the new
Director as well as the Board. A motion was made by Mrs. Thomas, seconded
by Mr. Jones and CARRIED 4-0 to spend the $50.00 to join the Florida Recrea-
tion & Park Association. This fee will come from Account 52572.54, Books,
Publications, and Subscriptions of the Parks and Recreation Budget.
Mrs. Thomas asked that the hand-out material for the Grant Seminars be obtained
from the Department of Natural Resources, Office of Recreation Services.
Mrs. Thomas also thought the Board should pursue an agreement with the City
of New Smyrna Beach for use of the 38 acres west of the City; obtaining use
of the old Winn Dixie building on U. S. 1 was also recommended.
Mr. Jones said he is still interested in obtaining land for parks within the
City. He stated that he had done a count on two streets in the Pointer Sub-
division, and counted 56 children. These children have only the streets in
which to play.
The need for a bike path between Wildwood Subdivision and Flagler Avenue was
again briefly discussed.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
