what we talk about at the minutes and give them a better

E. OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Barnett gave a brief report on the response of his
letter to Sam Aronoff of the City Parks and Recreation Board.
Mr . Aronoff replied that Bayview has been tabled until November
when the winter residents return to Naples . At that time it
will be placed on the City Council' s Agenda.
Mr. Barnett inquired if it would be advantageous for the
PARAB to talk to some of the principals of our school system
who were against the Parks Department using school facilities
for the summer program. Mr. Barnett feels that it would be
better to talk to the principals now instead of March or April .
In case of any problems , they could be worked out now instead
of waiting until the time to use the facilites . Mr. Barnett
requested Mr. Rice to supply the PARAB members at the next
meeting a list of the principals who were against the summer
program at their school.
F . NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Rice informed the PARAB at the next meeting he will
have a map showing the existing parks and proposed parks of
Collier county. He will also have future stats and population
growth chart of Collier County. After presenting this information
to the PARAB he will then present it to the CAPC for their approval.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at
10 : 10 A.M.
