Mr. Caballero requested the addition of a discussion
regarding naming of the Golden Gate Park.
DISCUSSION WITH MR. PEEK
Mr . Peek distributed a list of facilities as requested
by the North Naples Parks Subcommittee and asked if there
were any additions . Mr . Monaco said those were the items
requested with no additions and that he had no numbers for
the specific tennis courts and baseball and soccer fields.
He said there had been emphasis by the committee members for
the outdoor amphi-theatre.
A discussion centered on the feasibility of using the
little league field by other than little league players . Mr .
Smith suggested a temporary fence be erected so that the
field can be used at other times during the year than just
when the little leagues play.
Mr . Peek asked for a facilities list for the Marco
Island Park and Mr. Stackpoole said he would get some input
from area residents and present this at the next meeting.
Mr. Caballero reported that there is continued interest
in a motocross field, however , there is some evidence that a
facility like this will be built in Bonita Springs . He said
he would have a report at the next meeting on this subject .
Mr. Peek reviewed the Marco Island park design
consisting of the community center and softball field as well
as other facilities . He requested input as to whether this
park is to be passive or to contain the softball field , since
this would make a difference with the placement of the
community center .
Mr. Monaco moved, seconded by Mr. Caballero and carried
4/0, that the park consultant proceed with the North Naples
Master Plan based on the facility list presented.
Mrs . Goodnight outlined the facilites requested for the
Immokalee Park in the first phase of construction. She said
that the park would be cleared, leaving as many trees as
possible ; a jogging trail constructed; the area fenced and as
many tennis courts and racquetball courts as possible built ;
that a restroom facility will be built and that the meeting
room will be in the second phase.
A discussion ensued regarding the possibility of making

the baseball field a priority item so that the field can be
used for the next season. Some discussion was held regarding
the possibility of obtaining donations for sodding the field
in order to put it in use.
Mr. Caballero moved, seconded by Mr. Stackpoole and
carried 3/0, that the consultants proceed with the Immokalee
Park Master Plan.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr . Smith requested that a committee consisting of
Public Services Administrator Norton, Administrator of
Administrative Services Blankenship and three Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board members be formulated to review the
applications for the Director of the Parks and Recreation
Department .
Mrs . Goodnight asked Mr . Monaco to chair this committee
and he agreed to do so. Mr. Smith reported that ten
applications have been received from the advertisements in
newspapers and trade journals .
DISCUSSION RE NAME OF GOLDEN GATE PARK
Mr. John Agnelli , of Power Corporation, explained that
the proposed Golden Gate Park is inside the Berkshire Lakes
PUD and that the developers request that the name be some-
thing other than Golden Gate Park, since the park will serve
areas to the south of Golden Gate, as well .
Mr . Caballero said he would take this request to his
committee for discussion.
NEXT MEETING AGENDA
The decision was made to have a facility list for Marco
Island Park for the next meeting and a report on the
motocross situation in Golden Gate.
