OLD BUSINESS
5013e c) Update
Mr. Tipton asked if we received the 501 3( c) status, does that mean the City holds the
liability and not the Board? Mr. Corder replied the City is liable. He stated the
paperwork needed to be filled out and taken to Council. He said the City's Grants
Administrator, Lynne Plaskett is researching possible grants we could apply for, focusing
on senior center projects and possibly for helping to expand on the shufileboard facilities
destroyed during the hurricanes.
Kennedy Park Site Plan
Mr. Corder said the conceptual site plan for Kennedy Park was shown at the last Council
meeting. The plan included more parking spaces, a boat wash area, restrooms and
pavilion with 6-10 tables. He said the gazebo and walkway are already permitted and we
have received some funding for dredging and for the boat house which will store the
Public Safety Boat and for a kiosk for boating and fishing information. He noted we will
lose some property there for stormwater. The racquetball and handball courts will be re-
located to Rotary Park.
Update on Shufileboard Facilities
Mr. Corder said Council had approved the move of the Shufileboard facilities to Rotary
Park and a meeting was also held with the Shuffleboard Club members, who also
approved.
