III. ITEMS BY STAFF LIAISON
Recreation Loan
Charlotte stated that the recreation loan is coming before City Council on April 6, 2006.
Charlotte asked the Board to take a few minutes to read the draft memo to City Council
showing their support of the loan that will be used for recreation improvement. The
Board read over the memo and Tory Buckley suggested that information about hurricane
damage and repairs should be included in the memo. Charlotte is going to make the
changes and Bert will sign the memo. Charlotte announced that Allan Owens will be
recommending Wachovia Bank for the loan and the interest rate will be 3.74 %.
Open Seats on Recreation Advisory Board
Charlotte reminded the Board that there are two alternate positions open on this Board
and asked them to spread the word to people who might be interested in serving.
Upcoming Activities
Charlotte announced that the following events are scheduled in next month and invited
the Board to attend. They are: Town Hall Meeting on March 30, Concert Series at Eissey
Hall that is sponsored by Frenchman's Creek on April 2, Pitch, Hit and Run Competition
on April 15, the annual Egg Hunt on April 15, and the last day of the Green Market is
April 16. On April 27 the City will be presenting "Weather the Storm" which is a
program that will be held at Burns Road Community Center. Meteorologist Steve Weagle
along with vendors and other municipalities will be attending the event. Charlotte also
announced that May 5, 2006 is the tentative date for the Sand Hill Crane Ground
Breaking.
Charlotte stated that in the packet that the Board received is a memo from Operations
Director, Mike Morrow with an update of the gate at Ilex Circle. The gate is up and
running but has already been vandalized. There was discussion regarding the vandalism
and it was suggested that the City use cameras or even fake cameras to deter the vandals
at Ilex Circle. Charlotte will do some research and get back to the Board at the next
meeting.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
Mike Kelly gave the Board an update of the repairs from the hurricane damage. Mike
stated that nearly all the repairs are completed. The lighting at Garden's Park is still
being repaired and poles have been ordered for PGA Basketball and Tennis. The work
should be completed in the next few weeks. 85 -90•/o of the work is completed throughout
the City and the remainder will be done in the near future.
Dan Reidy reported on the renovation updates of the Golf Course. The Council approved
the bid award for the greens restoration and replacement of the master pump station. The
construction will begin on May 1 t and will last approximately 92 days depending on the
weather and conditions. The Golf Course will be closed during the construction. The
bridges portion of the project is going to City Council on April 2& for the bid award.
The bridges are sagging and piles need to be replaced. The septic tank is in the initial
permitting stages and will start in the middle of the summer. They are also adding
floating target greens and ordered new tee box markers. He also talked about the
possibility of lighting the driving range in the future. They are planning a ground
breaking ceremony for the golf course on May 1, 2006.
V. NEW BUSINESS
PGA Park- Outcome of Walking Tour
Charlotte showed the Board a schematic plan of PGA Park and a list of all items that
need to be repaired that are not included in impact fees. The request for a bid is already
out on Demand Star and hopefully, by June, she will have a master plan put together.
The repairs are all within the loan funding. There was discussion about what the Board's
thoughts were after they had toured the park. Some of the suggestions included: a
volleyball court, additional picnic areas, parking areas closer to the picnic area, and a tot
2
lot. They talked about redesigning the entrance and parking. They agreed that there is a
need for a professional to come in and give suggestions including costs and an analysis of
what services are actually needed at the park. Jack Doughney suggested getting an idea
of what they would like to be done in the park prior to additional repairs being done.
Charlotte went over what can be included in impact fees and what is included in the loan.
She explained that in her budget for next year, she added master park planning. Master
planning will look into the future for at least 10 years and give a good outlook of what is
going to be needed with the growing population. The Board agreed that PGA Park needs
a lot of work and they like the idea of bringing in a professional.
Capital Planning Priorities
Charlotte went through the list of the capital planning priorities that have been completed.
1) Burns Road Community Center
Staff will be moving back into building in approximately 10 days. The locker room will
be will open the end of April. The new gym and kitchen should be open around July 15.
They are behind schedule because of the hurricanes and lack of available labor. The parts
of the plan that have been accomplished are a new gym, new locker room, expanded
storage, new pool and staff offices.
2) Lake Catherine Passive Area
An RC Boat launch has been added and ramp repairs were completed. The irrigation is
not yet completed. There have also been new trees planted.
3) Lake Catherine Softball Complex
New concession and some dug -out renovations have been completed. Parking
enhancements are in place. Shade structures completed. A small bathroom and pavilion
down by the single field is also complete in addition to the streetscape along McArthur
Blvd.
4) Pool
A new competition pool and spray playground have been completed. Attendance has
been phenomenal. It has collected $75,000 in admission that went to the general fund
last season. The old pool was improved by adding slides, shade structures and a large
picnic area. Charlotte added that in this year's budget she would like to add a playground
for ages 5 and under.
5) Riverside Community Center
The facility was renovated to make Riverside a licensed Childcare Center which is
completed and the loan is going to start being paid back this year. The outside play areas
need to be enhanced and there needs to be safe decking on the ground.
6) Plant Drive Park
Skate Park is getting the lights and should be installed in 2 weeks and they would like to
add the streetscape element to the park. The parking and playground needs to be
installed.
7) PGA National Park
Other than new roofs on the bathrooms and some work done on the tennis and basketball
courts, most of the work is included in the new loan and will be put in the new master
plan.
8) Oaks Parks
This project has not been completed. Charlotte feels there needs to be much more
discussion on the park before committing to any improvements because the people in the
area are not open to enhancing the park. The tennis courts were recently resurfaced and
there are a lot of players using the courts.
9) Lilac Activity Center
This is a visionary project that will be included in the system master plan.
10) Gardens Park
Shade awnings and expansion of the parking are both in the funding stream. The Shade
awnings will be completed in April.
11) Art Park and Plaza
Staff would like to enhance the plaza for future events.
12) District Park
Charlotte stated that every year $400,000 is earmarked for the District Park. City Park
has been an evolution from that money. There have been two grants received over the
past few years. There are now basketball, playground, handball, and a pavilion with
restrooms. The expansion will include racquetball, shade over playground, lightning for
basketball courts, two hard -court tennis courts, and extending the trail.
13) Tennis Center
The Tennis Center is now under construction for four additional courts and one center
court with lights being added. The new lighting for the other courts is going before City
Council on April 6, 2006 to be funded via FEMA and Impact fees to replace/upgrade the
lighting system due to hurricane damage. In the future they will look at expanding the
clubhouse at the Tennis Center.
14) Howell Lane Park
This park is located behind the fire station on North Lake Blvd. The land use is
undecided at this time. They thought about adding a playground park but they are not
sure if this is going to move forward.

General Fund Projects — 5 -Year Projections
Charlotte went through the list of the projects that she has planned on the General Fund
list.
Community Center Equipment
The Community Center goes through tables, chairs, curtains, PA systems, lightings about
every three —four years. A few years ago they added this as a line item so they could
keep the equipment refurbished.
Aquatic Complex
There is going to be outlay for deck furniture.
Oaks Park Pavilion Replacement
This element is still left over from planning years ago. Charlotte suggests talking about
this project to see how it should be approached before making any decisions.
Playground Replacement Program
Charlotte stated that every five years they are going to evaluate the playgrounds to make
sure they are meeting current ADA and safety codes. In the recreation loan there is
money set aside to replace the playground equipment at Burns Road.
Burns Road Community Center
The Center is in need of an internal PA system.
Charlotte talked about future projects. She stated that the old pool is going to need work
and they have put this in the budget. They would like to look at making changes to the
pool before moving forward with any repairs.
There were questions about some of the projects. Ernest Volonte asked about the item
that says "stage equipment replacement ". Charlotte stated that a few years ago there was
a group called the Spot Light Players that used the community center. When Spot Light
left they took all the stage equipment. She would like to bring to the level where
community performances can be held.
Capital Projects — 5 Year Projections
1) District Park/City Park
As Charlotte explained earlier, there is $400.000 kept in the budget for these parks. Bert
Permuroso asked what happens to the money for the District Park if it is not used.
Charlotte stated that the money will continue to stay in the fund if they are not used.
Some of the money has been used on City Park and Tennis. She pointed out there are
still 35 acres left to develop. She also pointed out that if, in the future, the County comes
back and wants to partner on District Park there will be money set aside for the
development.
2) Skate Park Phase H
The streetscape will be installed and Charlotte feels this park will be a popular spot once
the lights are installed.
3) PGA National Park
They are going to work with a professional regarding the construction at PGA National
Park. They are planning on applying for grants for this project. In order to apply for the
grants you have to show the state that you have the matching funds. If they don't apply
for a grant then the money stays there until they can use it.
4) Plant Drive Park Expansion
There is $225,000 to expand the park and build a pavilion. This small project will help
the park tremendously.
5) Garden's Park Parking Expansion
This is proposed for next year to enhance the over -flow parking at Garden's Park.
6) Activity Center Planning and Construction
There is $30,000 for decision making and construction drawings. The next year there is
2.7 million to build a facility. The planning should come up during the system master
planning.
7) Garden's Park Shade Pavilions
There are some areas within Garden's Park where they can add more pavilions.
C40rrxai�l'8) Pock Fields Pavilions
,--,7 This project is 4 years out. This will provide a shelter within the soccer field area.
9) Aquatic Complex Deck Expansion and Restrooms
The restroom and shower facility needs to be expanded.
10) Pro -Shop Expansion and turn amid Pavilion
These repairs and editions are eligible for impact fees. By improving the Pro Shop and
adding new pavilions this will hopefully bring more people out to the golf course.
11) Master Planning for Parks System
This will be started in two fiscal years. This will include shuffleboard and lights. This
will allow people to play shuffleboard at night when it's not so hot. These improvements
are also eligible for impact fees because it helps you to expand the capacity.
12) Mirasol Tot Lot
Since the Honda Classic is moving to PGA Staff is hoping to take over the recreation
center at Mirasol Park. They would like to bring in programs for younger children in the
morning, teenagers in the afternoon, and hold adult classes in the evenings.
31
13) Tot Lot Expansion and Equipment
Charlotte stated they would like to build a new tot lot behind the Burns Road Community
Center located near the pool. She would also like to be able to rent out the space for
birthday parties and family events.
14) Projects Identified in the Master plan
Charlotte has placed marks $2 million for future land for future land purchases.
VL Comments by the Public
Tim Frohling from Euphrates Circle commented on the District Park and acknowledged
that if the District Park is going to have certain elements than maybe it should consider
putting different element at PGA Park. Tim also commented on the funding that is being
brought before Council on April b and asked if there is the capability in the city to do
models of economic impact for events that are held at the city. Charlotte stated that there
are some standards that she can use that are put up at the National Recreation Park
Association and she will put some of the information together and bring it back to the
Board. Tory Buckley asked if he can get a list of the numbers for economic impact that
the sports commission recently came out with.
VII. Comments by the Board
Philip Milton asked Charlotte if there has been any consideration given to giving space
for the PBGYAA once the Burns Road facility is completed. Charlotte stated that she is
considering this, and has ideas on how this may work and we'll get back to the Board in
the near future with more information.
Carolyn Chaplik asked if there is going to be a ribbon cutting ceremony when Burns
Road Community Center reopens. Charlotte stated there will be a ribbon cutting and
would like to bury a new time capsule. Since the building is being done in different
phases they will probably wait until the end of the project and hold celebration.
Philip Milton asked about the youth festival and Charlotte said that that will be done in
the fall because of the construction at Burns Road community Center.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
DATE: March 15, 2006
FROM: Bert Premuroso, Chairperson
Recreation Advisory Board
SUBJECT: Capital Planning-Parks and Recreation Loan
On Monday, January 23, 2006, the Recreation Advisory Board passed a motion to fully
support the Parks and Recreation Improvement Loan now under your consideration. The
purpose of this memo is to bring to your attention our support and to provide you with
details on the work that has promulgated a loan request.
We have diligently worked with staff over the past four years to recommend a sound
Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Plan that will serve our existing and new
residents. Impact Fee funding mainly serves the new residents of our community, but we
continue to be concerned about appropriate funding for our existing park system. We set
out four years ago with an eight-year recommended capital plan. Part of that plan was
dedicated to the replacement of infrastructure within existing parks that is past its useful
life or that is in need of replacement due to the intensity of use. These items, as you are
aware, are not eligible for Impact Fee funding. It has to be funded from the General Fund.
Our recommended Capital Plan has been part of the annual budget process for the past
four years. We had the understanding and accepted the fact that General Fund
appropriations were limited and, therefore, planned for the largest request of capital
outlay to be in 2006, which is the fourth year of our capital plan.
It should be noted that after the bond failure, we, along with staff, have sought ways to be
creative in meeting the needs of our community. The recommended Capital Plan was
developed solely on their input and our deliberations. If a loan is not considered, these
items will continue to appear in the annual budget process and we are afraid, in the near
future, some older facilities will need to be removed completely from our system.
As always, your consideration is greatly appreciated.
