ROLL CALL/CALL TO ORDER
The June 1, 1994 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board was
called to order at 7:05 PM in the Edgewater City Hall Conference
Room.
Members present were: Thomas Tipton, Paul Alvord, Martha Carden
and Charlene Dennis. Board Member Larry Lamb was absent. Also
present was Jack Corder, Director of Parks and Recreation.
Mr. Tipton stated he had spoken with Mr. Lamb and he expressed to
Mr. Tipton that he has to resign from the Board, due to numerous
other obligations. Also, Mrs. Dennis submitted her resignation
letter to the Secretary, as she is moving out of the city limits to
New Smyrna.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Alvord moved to approve the minutes of the April 6th meeting
and Mrs. Dennis seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
OLD BUSINESS
26 ACRES/TOUR OF HOMES
Mr. Corder stated he is planning to incorporate the budgeted costs
for this project into the budget workshops coming up. He said he
would attempt to borrow the funding from the self-insurance program
for the approximately $60,000 house and $20,000 - 25,000 for the
marketing firm and added he hoped to go out for bids and get this
all moving by the end of the summer. He also said he planned to go
to Stuart, Florida in a couple of weeks and talk to the contact
there.
Mr. Corder stated he felt some of the ad hoc committees that were
being considered could be eliminated and handled by the Park Board,
such as the one for design of the house and proposal for the
marketing firm. The Board agreed that too many committees will
just extend the time period for getting this underway.
Mr. Tipton asked if Mr. Corder had to go back to the Council before
going out for bids on the marketing firm and house design. Mr.
Corder replied he would. Mr. Tipton asked if he would like one of
the Board members to go along with him to Stuart or perhaps maybe
one of the Council members. Mr. Corder agreed that would be good
but the problem for Council will probably be availability and he
has been having a hard time reaching the contact there as it is.
Mr. Corder stated he would like to make the proposal to Council
either at the last meeting in June or first one in July. The Board
discussed the possibility that their next meeting may not be before
this Council meeting and agreed that if it wasn't, Mr. Corder
should proceed ahead with the full consent of the Board on any
decisions or proposals.
Mr. Tipton asked the time frame as to completion of this project
and Mr. Corder stated by Christmas time or end of the year he hoped
to give the house away and begin the second house to be able to
catch the snow birds and increase in population you get in the
winter time. He stated there will probably not be a set amount
of tickets that will have to be sold before the house is given
away; we will set a time frame for tickets to be sold in and that
will be it.

Mrs. Carden said she talked to the instructor of the Interior
Design class at DBCC and they were very excited about helping with
this project. She noted they had just completed a very successful
project at the Rockefeller House at The Casements in Ormond Beach.
She stated all they needed was a time frame, so they can get it
incorporated into the fall classes.
AD HOC COMMITTEES
The Board agreed they had already discussed all they needed to
about the ad hoc committees in the previous agenda item.
TEEN AGE SURVEY QUESTIONS
Mr. Corder brought the results of the survey questions given to the
Middle School students and the Board reviewed them at length.
It was noted that there was a very, very small response as to those
students from Edgewater who were interested in being a member of a
teen age advisory board. It was noted that three things kept
appearing on facilities wanted by this age group and they were a
roller skating rink, a skateboard arena and a swimming pool, which
Mr. Corder added are services usually provided through private
enterprise.
Mr. Alvord said the report to Council should include that about 2
% or less of all the 1,600 responses were not interested in serving
on an advisory board and also to include a few of the items that
this age group of students were interested in besides the three
above mentioned.
NEW BUSINESS
There was no new business to discuss.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mr. Alvord moved to adjourn,
seconded by Mrs. Carden. The meeting ended at 8:20 PM.
