Associations, but there is no written agreement between DiVosta and the homeowners regarding
the lighting of the fields. Need to get city council approval to use impact fees for the lighting.
Councilman Joseph Russo needs the support of the board members for this project.

for their summer program. He is taking sign ups for the hockey summer program at the end of
May.
*The Oaks Recreation Plan is being looked at with money budgeted to be spent this fiscal
year. Neighborhood meetings are being planned and a passive design will be presented to them.

IV NEW BUSINESS:
*Regarding "Future Park Vision ", the tract of land that is east of and adjoining our PGA
National Park has been mentioned several times by members on our Advisory Board as a great
location for additional park space. The property is owned by the Ecclestone Organization and
Dick Cameron will go through Charlie Hyatt to see if there are any plans for this tract of land.
*A summer break for the Advisory Board was discussed but it will be decided at the June
meeting if we will continue meeting throughout the summer on the first Tuesday of the month.
