park and the population it is intended to serve.
Mr . T

Are
Page 4
PARKS .`'-. RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MAY 21 , 1987
Mr . Smith stat ed that the park property donated on the Isle
of Capri by a developer was actually a right-of-way. He stated
that Staff feels strongly that they should continue to maintain
the park property, however, the medians and entrance way should
be the responsibility of the Road & Bridge D .
& iuye epartment He stated
Staff also feels that the once per week service being provided
for the park property is suff4-4ent for the facilities.
Mr . Smith stated that he met with the President of the Isle
of Capri Civic Association last week and was given several
suggestions. He said that he has ordered 30-gallon trash con-
tainers which will be installed. He stated they will be emptied
each week when the property is serviced.
Mr . Crawford also stated that Staff has taken care of the
request from the fire chief .
Mr . McQuillin requested that Mr. Crawford make a Staff member
available to a representative of the residents to show them how
to find out who owns any particular piece of property.
RENAMING OF GOLDEN GATE CITY PARK TO AARON LUTZ NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
- RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Director Crawford stated that Commissioner
Hasse has been requested to investigate renaming Golden Gate City
Park to Aaron Lutz Neighborhood Park. He said the PRAB has been
asked to forward a recommendation on this issue to the Board of
County Co' issioners .
Mr . r. ter.Crawford stated that Mr .. Lutz was the first prin i pal
of
of
Golden Gate Elementary School and served until his death in March
of this year .
Mr. Stevens moved, seconded by Mr. McQuillin and carried una-
nimously, that then renaming of Golden Gate City Park to Aaron
Lutz Neighborhood Park be recommended for approval .
CONSTRUCTION OF A FULL-SIZE BASEBALL DIAMOND AT A COMMUNITY PARK
SITE - RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Director Crawford stated Staff has been
contacted by several groups about the need for a full-size regu-
lation baseball diamond. He said there are only three regulation
size diamonds in the County a+ this time : Ain+er b
erry Field on
arc F� i=,-h = P, in the City of Naples,c ^ One in
L. O, �ey,....LL;;:.;.LL � .r.rk e .a .y OL. apse...., aL.d 1
Immokalee.
In answer to Mr . Burton, Parks a Recreation Supervisor Smith
stated that a t t he Parks^ Recreation a t i o n D ep ar t m e n t is not responsible
sp onsib 1
e
fr
Page 5
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MAY 21 , 1987
for the maintenance of the Immokalee field. He said there was an
agreement with the Babe Ruth League to mow that field one-time
for their use because the County' s field was not ready at that
time .
Mr. Crawford advised that a full-size regulation baseball
field is different than the ones existing in the County at pre-
sent . He added that this issue had been specifically addressed
in the new Comprehensive Plan. He said Staff is requesting that
a full-size baseball diamond be considered in one of the com-
munity parks to meet the immediate needs of the area. He added
that the Winterberry field on Marco is being further restricted
to two nights per week, which will severely impact availability
and Fleischman Park is at a maximum capacity.
Mr . Stevens pointed out that the Master Plan for the Golden
Gate Community park includes a regulation size baseball diamond.
Mr . Crawford stated that this is scheduled for Phase II and does
not solve the s"'T^ediate need. In answer to Mr . Burton, Mr.
Crawford stated there are two ways to approach the project : one
is to go to the Board of County Commissioners right away, and the
other is to place t h e field within the budget to b e adopted o
September, 1987 . Mr . Burton stated that if a diamond was added
to a community park at this time, additional parking would also
have to be added now. He said this would effectively place the
County in Phase II of one of the community parks .
Mr. Crawford stated that he feels the Golden Cate Community
Park is the most centrally located, however, the North Naples
Community Park could also be used. He stated that one of the
organizations has indicated they may be willing to make a contri-
bution to the construction of the diamond. He stated his feeling
that if this happens, the diamond should be located in the com-
munity park nearest the organization making the donation.
Mr . Jim Richardson, Babe Ruth League representative, stated
the County also has regulation size fields at Naples, Barron, and
Lely High Schools, however, only Barron will eventually have
lights. He stated that presently the high school games for
Naples and Barron are played at Fleischman and the games for Lely
are played at Winterberry field. He stated that the high schools
do not allow use of their fields .
Mr . Richardson pointed out that there are approximately 300
children in the Babe Ruth League and there are also men' s
leagues. He stated they cannot expand and their games have to be
played in Cape Coral and they are not allowed to practice on the
High School diamonds .

Mr . Crawford stated that with the School Board cutting staff
they will be looking to even tighter restrictions on their faci-
lities to bring down operating costs. He said this void has
always existed irregardless of what the High School facilities
have been.
Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried
unanimously, to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners
explore the possibility of construction of a full-size regulation
baseball diamond in a Community Park which already contains such
a diamond in its Master Plan.
CHANGE ORDER FOR FRANK E. MACKLE, JR. COMMUNITY PARK IN THE
AMOUNT OF $10, 998 . 25 TO MOLLENHAUER CONSTRUCTION - RECOMMENDED

Mr . Hayward Boyce, son, Miller, Barton, Soli & Peek, Inc . ,
stated that this Change Order is to allow Mollenhauer
Construction C o.,s r„
CtiG:^t tG install the tot lot equipment and border, relo-
cate four volleyball standard sockets, and add an additional win-
dow shade .
Mr . Boyce stated that the tot lot installation has been done
by a contractor at the other two community parks also because it
was determined that the contractor could do the installation l
a..la ion yes-.s
vaw siv ly th n Staff . He added that the only ange in this
expen� „e�Y ,.. u a e :,::iy ch .y� r: lass
item is the entity which will be paid.
Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried una-
nimously, that Change Order #3 for Mollenhauer Construction in
the amount of $10, 998 . 25 be recommended for approval .
BID FOR SOD AT IMMOKALEE COMMUNITY PARK - RECOMMENDED FOR
APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Supervisor Smith stated that bids for sod
for the Immokalee Community Park were received yesterday. He
said 60 , 000 sq. ft . of bahia sod was requested and 19 invitations
to bid were mailed. He stated that only one bid was received in
the amount of $10, 620 . 00 or 17^approximately
Y 1 V per sq. ft . from

Ms. McGinty advised there are very few written policies
