I APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Minutes from December 7, 1994 meeting was approved with a
correction to the Members Report eliminating Sandy Gottlieb's name.
Otherwise, the minutes were approved as written.
II DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
*Staff is complete with openings from time to time in our part
time positions for night staff and gym staff.
*Roof pre -bid conference was held January 6, 1994 with bids
being opened on January 20, 1994. The bid should be awarded within
two to four weeks after they are opened.
*Teen Center at Plant Drive should be ready in February.
*Field conditions are the best that they have ever been.
PGA National Park is not up to par yet partially because of the DOT
project which interfered with drainage. The tennis courts and the
basketball courts there are being resurfaced in the near future.
*Winter programs have started and are going well. Stats are
kept and are available. Stats are important for the Bond issue
that we are considering.
III OLD BUSINESS:
*Discussion on the 17 acres behind Klock regarding the credits
and the MacArthur Foundation determined that the property can be
developed but that the city needs to take the proper steps in
preparation for development.
Things to be done for 17 acre property behind Klock:
*Cost estimate of buyout of land credits
*Start report necessary for environment and review
with forester
• *Contact PW and see about clearing 17 acres
*Quotes on clearing, irrigation, and drainage need to be
obtained

• *Master Plan includes the entire municipal complex,
administration, police department, fire department and ball field
complex. We need the council's feelings so that we know how to go
with the referendum to determine the Gardens Parks Plan.
*Susan Miller will pursue county support and involvement with
the possibility of a regional park in Palm Beach Gardens.
*The idea of planting fast growing native trees along the
canal at Lake Catherine to block the light is noteworthy.
*Oaks Park Plan is ready to be presented to the City Council
and Phase I which includes lighting the jogging trail, irrigation,
sod, bushes and signage is in the budget and is a designated
project.
Phase II which includes the Tot Lot and the Imagination
Station is to be presented to the community including St. Marks,
The Oaks, Sienna Oaks and Rainwood.
*It is imperative to have Councilman Eric Jablin, our council
liaison, tour the fields in order to have council understand our
usage situation.
IV NEW BUSINESS:
*Impact fees are earmarked for new parks. Consequently,
creative funding is our answer for the Gardens Park Master Plan.
V MEMBERS REPORTS:
*City ordinance "Limitation on Continuous Terms of Office" has
been requested for our next meeting.
*Parks and Recreation Organizational Chart has been requested
for our next meeting.
*City Council representation has been absent from our meetings
and if our liaison is unable to attend our meetings, the board
would like to discuss options, perhaps being flexible with our
meeting date would be the answer.
*Y.A.A. reported on number of participants, the certification
of its coaches and the scheduled clinics.
Next Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting to be at 7:30 P.M.
on February 1, 1994 at the Riverside Community Center.
