OLD BUSINESS
Bid Opening of Amphitheater
Mr. Corder stated the bids were opened for the amphitheater roof and will now go to
Council for approval. The cost of the roof and installation will be $80,000.00. Mr.
Corder said it will be a an aluminum roof and will meet the wind codes of 120 mph. He is
hoping to have the completion date in early February. Mr. Tipton asked if the roof would
be moveable and was told it was not. It is a roof only, no sides or back. Mr. Fishback
asked if lights could be hung from the roof and Mr. Corder said yes and there is already
600 amp service in place. He then asked how many people you could fit around the
amphitheater and Mr. Corder said he had talked with a media company and they
estimated one to two thousand people. Mr. Corder was asked about the parking situation,
and he replied they would use the YMCA lot and the school fields, which would be more
than sufficient. Mr. Fishback inquired if there was an opening event planned and Mr.
Corder said not at this time, but he was working with the media company to see what
could be planned.
NEW BUSINESS
Christmas Parade
Mr. Corder informed the Board that the 19th annual Christmas parade would be on
Saturday, December 12th at 10 am in the same location as last year. The parade will line
up at the land fill site on Air Park Road and proceed down Indian River Boulevard to the
Winn-Dixie shopping center where it will disperse.

Department Update
Mr. Corder stated that Kennedy Park had been completed a few months back and the roof
for the amphitheater should be done in February. He said in the future he will be working
on a design for Mango Lake Park out near the Public Works Department, however, he
will have to wait till the economy improves and grants and funding become available.
The city already owns this property and he would like to have a boardwalk around the
west side of this 30 acre pond. He stated it will be a good addition to the city. He also
informed the Board that the YMCA has a new Director, Laurie Denoff.
MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Fishback asked what was being built on U.S. 1 just north of the Publix store and Mr.
Corder said it was a Kennedy Credit Union. He also noted the project near the Majestic
Oaks subdivision has been backed off on from the developer till the economy improves
some.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mrs Sopko made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr.
Visconti. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
