Adjournment MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 1986, MEETING - APPROVED Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried unanimously, that the minutes of November 20, 1986, be approved with the change on the last page of the minutes which indicates that there is $100,000 to build the building and landscape for the administrative center at the Golden Gate Community Park and should read $300,000. INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSED APPLICANTS TO FILL VACANCY ON PARAB Mr . Monaco indicated that there were two applicants that were present with regards to the vacancies on the Parks Board. He noted that one applicant is Mr . Mike McCormack who was an origi- nal member of the Park Site Selection Committee for the East Naples Park site and the other applicant present is Mr . David McKim who is employed by the Big Cypress Preserve Land Acquisition Office. He noted that both resumes are very impressive. Department Secretary Cookson stated that all applicants were invited for the meeting. Mr. Monaco indicated that Mr . Burton is presently on the Board and is also reapplying for the District #1 vacancy as well as Mr . McCormack and Mr . McKim. He noted that usually when a member reapplies, the committee recommends that the member be reappointed. He stated that he would like to delay this item until the end of the meeting. UPDATE ON THE COMMUNITY PARKS Mr . Bob Furman of Wilson, Miller , Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. , stated that he included a memo in the packet that was sent to the members giving an update on each park. He noted that the fine grading is being done at the Golden Gate park at this time and the asphalt will be put down the first week in January and then there will be a few more weeks of fine grading. He stated that Immokalee is in a little better shape and the first week in January landscaping will be done. He stated that the completion dates that he has for Immokalee and Golden Gate are tentative and he would not set a ribbon cutting date until about 10 days prior to actual completion. He stated that North Naples is in the same position that Golden Gate was about 3 months ago, adding that he feels from this time forward better progress will be made at North Naples than what was made at Golden Gate and he would esti- mate that by March 30 , 1987 , North Naples park will be completed. He noted that there was a construction meeting for Marco Island and everything is going according to schedule. He reported that East Naples is towards the end of the permitting stages , adding Page 2 lb December 18 , 1986 ►at he would estimate beginning of construction to be in March. Mr . Monaco stated that it appears. that there will be 3 parks available soon. $1.25 CHARGE FOR NON-RESIDENTS AND $.25 FOR RESIDENTS TEMPORARILY TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR BEACHES Parks & Recreation Director Crawford stated that Staff was asked to look at alternative use and admission to the beaches, adding that the BCC approved the revised beach fees in the budget and they are now trying to look at alternatives and address par- ticularly the question of the non-resident that uses the beach areas. He stated that what has been presented is a fee structure for the non-residents and a discount for the residents. Mr . Crawford stated that he used the figure of 60% because County residents are paying 60o more in taxes than non-residents because 60% of the money comes from ad valorem taxes and the non- residents do not pay ad valorem taxes. Mr . Burton stated that in the past, there were only parking fees and no fee structure, adding that now it appears that people are going to have to pay to walk into a beach facility versus paying for the privilege of parking. Mr . McQuillin stated that he feels that people do not object to paying fees for improvements that are made to beach areas or stural areas, but when there is excess fees generated from this _.yid then those fees are used for activities, it cannot be justified to charge admission for natural resources to pay for programs that are created by the Parks & Recreation Program. He stated that these programs should be self-sufficient. He noted that these programs should not be supported by ad valorem taxes . Mr . Stevens stated that if there is a charge to walk into the beach, people will not pay and they will walk through other people ' s property to get to the beach. Mr . Burton stated that he can see charging someone to park, but he cannot see charging for someone to walk into a public beach. He stated that the parks have plenty of opportunity to raise revenue without having to charge individual people to walk into a public beach. He stated that he would not approve any fee structure other than a parking fee for cars . Mr . Stevens stated that he is against charging for people to walk on the beach, also. Mr . Burton stated that the non-resident should pay and not the resident, adding that the resident could be given a pass . Page 3 December 18, 1986 stated that revenues could be raised in other ways rather than charging people to walk into natural xesource areas. He noted that the recreational programs could :be increased which is where the efforts of the Parks Department i5 being put and those program fees could be increased versus charging people to walk on the beach. He noted that there are people that come down during season for a month that use the recreational programs and pay the same as the residents which is not appropriate. Mr . O'Donnell stated that they have been getting a lot of negative responses to this fee. Mr . Monaco stated that his main concern is the money that is being raised should go toward the upkeep of the facility itself and stated that there could be a possibility of earmarking this money for a beach fund rather than being used for other facili- ties. He noted that this matter could be tabled until the next meeting and have the County Attorney present to discuss this matter . Mr . McQuillin stated that he would like staff to explore how residents that cannot afford a fee would be able to use the beach facilities . Mr . Monaco questioned if Staff is looking for direction or is this matter simply for discussion, to which Mr . O' Donnell stated at the BCC directed that Staff look at the non-resident fees as -, the present time the fee for both residents and non-residents is the same, and also to look at the whole fee structure. He questioned if the Parks & Recreation Board would consider going to a fee of $1. 20 for non-residents and leaving the $. 75 a day fee for residents? Mr . Burton stated that he would have no objection to charging $1 . 25 per day for non-residents and charging residents $. 25 per day which would still be in line with the $10 . 00 passes for the year that some people have already obtained. There was general discussion regarding what criteria would be used for distinguishing residents from non-residents. Mr. Burton moved, seconded by Mr. McQuillin and carried una- nimously, that non-residents should be charged $1.25 per day tem- porarily and $.25 per day for residents so that people that bought the $10 . 00 pass would not be penalized. PICTURES OF COMMUNITY PARKS SHOWN Mr . Dan Loubier , showed pictures of the five community parks to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board that had been taken in Page 4 December 18, 1986 .ovember , 1986 , from the helicopter . - He referred to each park indicating the construction that has -been done on them. ALTERNATE "A" TO BE RECOMMENDED WITH 'REGARDS TO THE WINTERBERRY BALLFIELD LIGHTS ON MARCO ISLAND Mr . Crawford stated that at the last BCC meeting, there were residents that were concerned and spoke to the BCC with regards to the ballfield lights at Winterberry Park. He noted that the complaints were due to the glare from the lights and the noise. He indicated that he was directed to review the matter and pre- pare a report regarding same as well as looking at alternate scheduling. He stated that he is looking for a recommendation from the PRAB to forward to the BCC, adding that he is recom- mending that he is recommending Alternate "A" of his report which would reduce the amount of games on that ballfield. He stated that by reducing some of the games and putting them in other areas, it will make it more convenient for the public that lives in other areas . Mr . Burton stated that prior to the lights being put in at Winterberry Park, there was plenty of public discussion and no one objected at that time. He stated that there was also room left in that park for a soccer field because there was not room in the community park for one and the lighting was arranged in order to accommodate this . Mr . Stevens stated that based on the report, some of the complaints are not valid. Mr . Burton stated that the largest concentration of homes is in the pines and it would take a lot of light to bother them. Mr . O' Donnell stated that Staff walked the area at night and did not find that the lights would bother anyone and, also, the Sheriff ' s Department has not had any problems or issued any cita- tions. He stated that the crowd is a well behaved one. Mr . Monaco stated that he has no problem with recommending Alternate "A" to the BCC. Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried una- nimously, that Alternate "A" of the Staff report be recommended to the BCC, which will reduce the amount of games being played there. Mr . Burton stated that he is recommending this as long as it is understood that this is being done for the benefit of the other teams and not the few complaints . Page 5 December 18 , 1986 .7 NATION OF BENCHES RECOMMENDED TO BE ACCEPTED FROM CHRIS MIDDLEBROOK Mr . Chris Middlebrook, resident of Isle of Capri, stated he would like to donate some park style benches for three different locations on the county causeway. He stated that a couple of years ago, the County put in a bicycle/walking/jogging path and he would like to have permission to put benches along that path. He stated that staff has given him guidelines on where to purchase these benches and has been very helpful. He noted that a lot of people in this area are older and need a place to rest after they have walked for a while, yet their conditions warrant that they do walk. Mr. Burton stated that these are the same type of benches that the County uses on Marco and he has no objection to this donation. Mr . Middlebrook stated that the benches are redwood and he would like to donate three at this time and if they are received well, he would like to donate another 3 at a later date. Mr . McQuillin questioned if this path is used exclusively for bicycles, to which Mr . Middlebrook stated that it is predomi- nantly used by walkers in order to keep them off the roads, adding that it is also used by children on their bikes, but there are only 32 children in Isle of Capri . He noted that this path not wide and is, therefore, not used by older people on bikes . Mr. Stevens moved, seconded by Mr. McQuillin and carried una- nimously, that the contribution of the benches for Isle of Capri from Mr. Middlebrook be recommended be acceptance and an appropriate letter of appreciate be sent to Mr. Middlebrook. DISCUSSION OF LELY BAREFOOT BEACH Public Services Administrator O' Donnell stated that the BCC approved a resolution at their past meeting that supports the State ' s acquisition of 2, 400 feet of beachfront property from the Lely Corporation, excluded a provision for 8 . 8 acres and included a provision that the existing private road that the State has for egress and ingress be maintained so that the public would have right-of-way along that area . He stated that the Save Our Coast meeting this week is to confirm or adjust the ranking of the pro- posals submitted to date, adding that the Lely proposal ranks 18th out of the 42 projects and has a price tag of $7, 387, 600 . He stated that the total State allocation is $35 , 000 , 000 , which means that the money would run out after the 5th project, adding that this is being reported for informational purposes only. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD VACANCIES Page 6 4: December 18, 1986 Mr. Monaco stated that he reviewed the applications and he would recommend that Mrs. Lucy V. .Ortiz be recommended for the Immokalee vacancy. This was a general consensus. Mr . Monaco stated that there d're three applicants for the District 1 seat; Mr . Ron Burton, Mr. Mike McCormack and Mr . Dave McKim. He stated that each applicant is highly qualified and it has been the policy that if a sitting board member has reapplied and he has been a good member , then the board usually recommends that person for reappointment. Mr . Stevens stated that he would also go along with this policy. Mr . Monaco stated that this is the last term that Mr . Burton can serve. Mr. Stevens moved, seconded by Mr. McQuillin and carried una- nimously, that Mr. Burton be recommended for reappointment. Mr . Monaco explained to the applicants that they are highly qualified and he hopes that they reapply again.
