OLD BUSINESS
Golf Course Update
Mr. Corder stated that Council had given approval for the National Golf
Foundation to proceed with the feasibility study. Council also agrees that if this
project proceeds further after the study, that funding will have to come from
outside sources or revenue bonds. It will not come out of general funds, due to
all of the obligations with the sewers and paving. Mr. Corder stated a
representative from the NGF will be beginning the study next week and will
research such things as market demand, examination of sites and access to
financial options. He said they will do their study in phases and will be making
reports back to the City periodically. Mrs. Pittman asked where the sites were to
be examined and Mr. Corder stated there were 2 sites near 1-95, one on the
east and one on the west, close to the interchange and the other site was near
the Daytona Beach Community College Campus. Mr. Jones asked how Port
Orange funded their golf course and Mr. Corder replied they used a combination
of revenue bonds and bonding through utilities. He added theirs was very
successful and NGF was the company that they used also.
Update/South End of Riverwalk
Mr. Tipton asked if there had been any developments down on the southern end
of the Riverwalk where it is still incomplete. Mr. Corder stated it was in the City
Attorney's hands and she is negotiating with the property owners.
Fund-raiser
Mr. Tipton asked the results of the marketing bids that were sent out for the
house fund-raiser and Mr. Corder replied that out of 80 some bids sent out there
were only 6 inquiries from companies and no returns on bids. He said it would
be looked at further and possibly it will be handled internally with an outside
consultant part time. The bids for the construction of the house, he stated, were
being reviewed at this time by the City Engineer and City Attorney for
correctness and legality. He said he hoped to have the bids back by Christmas.
Mr. Tipton asked if we were still pushing for a June or July drawing and Mr.
Corder replied that was what he was pushing for.

Organizational Chart
Mr. Corder said he made a chart indicating the added personnel he will need to
keep the recreation complex running smoothly. If the fund raiser project is
successful, it should cover the cost of operation and will probably be an annual
thing. He explained the chart, noting that the darker boxes represented the
potential new personnel needed for operation once the complex was complete.
The rest of the boxes represent the personnel we already have. He said the
new personnel needed would be Program Coordinators, Special Events
Coordinator, Facility Coordinator, Parks Supervisor and various part time
workers (concession, receptionist, front counter help, janitor, etc.)
Haunted House
Mr. Corder stated the construction on the Haunted House would begin October
24th. He said he had received no responses from the newspaper article looking
for volunteers. He stated he had contacted the Drama Club at the high school
and was hoping for a good turn out there and also a local Boy Scout Club was
going to be handling the Toddler Fun House. He said we would again have the
Costume Contest with 5 age divisions and trophies for the winners and the
Haunted House would run from 7 PM to 9:30 PM.
