VI. NEW BUSINESS:
A. PRESENTATION—MAYOR HAMILTON,EVERGLADES CITY
C 0
Everglades City has a piece of land by the community center which they wish
to improve with fencing, lights, picnic tables, skate park and things geared to
the 6-12 year olds. This would provide a protected area for the younger age
group to play as there is not much in the area for them.
A plan of the area was shown—the area adjacent to the skating rink definitely
needs fill and a fence. The ramps and jumps for the skate park would be
portable, the path around the edge would be rounded with the lights on the
outside. There are no lights in the parking lot and the entire area is rather dark
at night. There is no road to the rear of the facility, but there are houses
located there. The picnic area would be on gravel and it would be nice to have
a little landscaping.
A new roof has been installed on the community center, and all monies were
well spent. Now looking for$71,400 to complete this project—labor will be
furnished by local volunteers and city employees. The price of the lights
include electric, running the wires, etc. and is a total package.
The lighting was discussed with reference to the number of poles and the type
of lighting. A suggestion was also made to try the skate ramps on the
basketball courts first, and then if heavily used put in the concrete slab.
Basketball requires a different surface than the skate area but asphalt may be
used instead of concrete.
MOTION by Ski Olesky—RECOMMEND GIVE $50,000 AT THIS
TIME TO GET THE PROJECT STARTED. Then next year the remainder
could be considered. More discussion about City of Everglades funding either
inkind or cash.
MOTION BY SKI—RECOMMEND GIVE $50,000 OF $71,400. Chuck
McMahon seconded. Approved 6 to 0.
B. PROJECT LIST
North Naples Regional Park—Cost of design, without permits, $1.4 million.
It does include construction management and on site inspections.
Tigertail Boardwalk,Walkovers and Entrance—will be paid for with TDC
funds. The project will be starting in April.
Barefoot Parking Lot Expansion—additional parking which will prove 75
spaces between the existing first and second lots. It is scheduled for 2002.
2
Fishing Per at Cocohatchee—it will be ten years before the bridge at this
location will be addressed. This project would provide a place for people to
fish under the bridge.
Eagle Lakes Phase II—will take two to three years—includes basketball,
tennis courts, landscaping, pathways and picnic shelters.
Exotic Removal—spending $100,000 a year at various park sites to remove
exotics.
Shelter—to be built at Immokalee Community Park 2001.
Airport Park Refurbishment—going to apply for a FRDAP grant. This
park needs some work done—will start in March 2001 and cost$150,000 plus
grant.
Disc Golf—Manatee—This will not be done this year, but the area is the 60
acres that the model airplane club now uses.
Sugden Nook—This is the nook only—but no funding or money at the
present time.
Lely Property Amphitheater—This is the property adjacent to Edison
Community College. The Boys and Girls Club was not interested so Parks
and Recreation now has 20 acres with a 3 year window for completion of the
project.
South Marco Access—a family restroom to be constructed at this location.
Max Hasse Phase II—parking lot, pathway and landscape. The community
center has been enlarged from 120 square feet to 150 square feet with opening
scheduled for June of next year.
Barefoot Boardwalk and Dock—Comprised of approximately 600' in the
back bay area with the possibility of pontoon boat guided tours, and a boat
drop off point for visitors. It is not scheduled for this year.
Vanderbilt Parking Garage—cost of$3 million dollars for a two story
facility, possibly pre-fab, with 400 parking spaces. There are currently
1752parking spaces at this popular location.
Neighborhood Park—Livingston—Sandy Taylor still working on acquiring
the land. Cost will be $200,000.
3
0
Vineyards Parking Lot—idea is to share 80 parking spaces with the school
system with a 50/50 cost. The area is off Vanderbilt Road school property and
would also allow access for buses 200-2001.
Croquet/lawn Bowling—group is raising money.
Golden Gate Community Center Building Expansion—skatepark
relocation and construction of a band shell. Would like to tear down the
annex and reconstruct a facility double the current size. The MSTU/County
50/50 on the cost of$400,000.
Goodland Boat Ramp Land Purchase—apply for Florida Communities
Trust Grant which would pay for 40% of 2.8 million land purchase.
Mr. Olesky offered the name of Frank Morillo with Freshwater Game and
Fish as a contact person who may be able to help.
VII. SPECIFIC UPDATES
A. City of Naples—no representative present.
The City has purchased the Fleischmann property and various people will be
sitting in on the planning of the project. Florida Communities Trust has a
limit of each stand alone application of 2.2 million. If two entities combined
their applications, there would be 4.4 million available. The County will join
with the City for the application of the grant with the idea that the City of
Naples will not come to the County for additional money for any projects.
(complete bandshell, beach walkovers, canoe launch). This concept will apply
even if the grant is not awarded. The City will pay for the boat launch facility,
amphitheater, walkovers, etc.
The County did not apply for NN Regional Park as it would only be eligible
for $600,000—it was more feasible to combine with the City to obtain the 4.4
million. Next year the County will apply for the Goodland property.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Dog Park—Opening will be Saturday, May 6th and will be in conjunction
with the DAS pet show. Sponsors will be recognized on a sign.
B. Budget Requests:
Lake Trafford—money was requested for upgrading/repairing.
4
Bayview—sprinkler system. When renovations are completed then the
sprinklers will be addressed.
The problem with perverts at park sites was discussed. The Department is
working with the Sheriff's Department regarding trespass warrants. There is
no blanket warrant—a person would have to be arrested at each location
affected. The are different types of these people and they move from location
to location with more active times being before the parks open 6-7 am, lunch
time and 2-3 in the afternoon. When there is a large number of people
present,they move on. If gates to the park are left open,the Sheriff's deputies
will drive through periodically. The Department is attempting to have the
Rangers more visible in the various parks.
C. Copeland— a meeting was held with Rev. Prueter, Copeland Baptist Mission,
and the agreement will be amended to add an additional five years to the lease.
The Mission desires to install and cover a basketball court which will cost
approximately $35,000; at this time they do not have the money to complete
this project. This extension will give the County more time to pursue
purchasing property in the area. Real estate is not selling very quickly in this
area.
Mary Ellen Rand spoke about the Community Character Plan. This
group is attempting to get the public involved in linking neighborhood,
transportation, and greenspace planning. A team of consultants have been
hired to help develop this plan; a primary component of the plan is that the
community will map out its own future. This will be accomplished by a series
of neighborhood workshops and a large community workshop. Meetings have
been scheduled at various locations throughout the County and will be
publicized. It is important to have as many people take part in these
workshops as possible.
IX. REPORTS/UPDATES
A. Monthly Report—Revenues are increasing due to the tourist season.
B. BCC RECAP—Lawn croquet—waiting to sign contract with fund raisers.
D. Special Event Calendar- The Regaee concert was a total rain wash-out.
E. Park Update—Vineyards—Lindy visited the park at 6:30 pm on Tuesday,
March 21s`. The tennis courts were in use, soccer game in progress, basketball
court was being used and several families were using the playground and
surrounding areas. Lights were beginning to come on in the parking lot and
around the building; none were out. The park appears to be well used and
well maintained.

Veterans—This park was visited by Lindy 9:00 am on Monday, March 20th.
There tennis and racquetball courts were being utilized. Basketball courts
were idle,but were clean and appeared to have new rims and nets. A class
was going on inside the center, which was clean and neat. The facilities of
this park seemed to be in good condition and neat.
The fence was in place for Rover Run and the majority of the trees were left in
place, leaving the area looking inviting.
Sugden Regional Park: John Grice reported that when he visited this
beautiful park there were many people there. He did have a concern that there
were children not being supervised down near the dock. There were some
brown spots in the grassy area between the two buildings with the area
looking a little dry. There were some visible marks on the building from the
downspouts; however the buildings are pressure cleaned periodically.
The Zonta Club had planted a tree, which looked great. The Sugdens had
donated the $12,000 required to put in the little pond.
Bayview: The pavilion needs to be cleaned, even possible scraped and
painted. The area was heavily used with boats parked along the side of the
road.
ENCP—The area looked a little dry in comparison to the adjoining school
yard; otherwise it looked good.
Sam Welborn reported that he will not be attending the next PARAB meeting as he has
been invited to a homecoming honoring all the baseball players from the area where he
had been instrumental in the construction of a baseball field. This field has been named
i after him for his dedication and work.
The April 26th meeting will be held at Veterans Community Park, 1900 Immokalee Road.
Meeting adjourned at 4:15 pm.

From: Keith Larson, Center Supervisor
Golden Gate Community Center
Re: Attitude Award
Date: March 23, 2000
I
Maria,
I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Kathy Topoleski, Program Supervisor of
the Golden Gate Community Center, for the Attitude Award this month. Kathy has always done
excellent work,but her performance over the last nine weeks (during the centers busiest time) is
worth taking note of. Over the past nine weeks, the Golden Gate Community Center has played
host to the following special events. A Middle School Dance attended by over 300 teens, The
Cool Cruisers Annual Car Show attended by over 3000 people, the Midnight
Basketball/S.W.A.T. Anti-Tobacco Kick Off attended by 100 youth, The Pitt Players
performance of"The Wizard of Oz" attended by over 500 people, and the Senior Expo attended
by over 1500 people.
Each and every one of these special events was a huge success! A very large reason for the
success was Kathy's hard work, dedication, and leadership. This time of year is a very busy one
for all of us, but Kathy never let it get to her, sheds always the calm in the storm. Kathy sets a
wonderful example for the rest of us to follow. She has the respect of the entire staff and they
truly enjoy working with her. Not only has the staff benefited from all of Kathy's hard work and
leadership,but the entire community has benefited,because they have been able to enjoy these
wonderful events.
Along with the special events, center programs and civic groups, Kathy still finds the time to
assist with the counties special events. Many of these events she donates her time. I know that
she has been a huge help James and Peggy. I can't begin to put J.,..‘o words how much Kathy
means to me, she is the best person that I have ever had the pleasure to work along side of. With
Kathy taking on more and more of the day to day duties she has freed me up to concentrate my
efforts on developing the Golden Gate Community Center's future.
Thank you for taking the time to look this over. Please call me should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
f 94

Re: Presentation to speak before the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board on April 26, 2000
Dear Ms. Johnson:
Please remove my name from the agenda to speak before the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board on April 26th.
Upon further reflection I have come to realize that I would be 100% for the future
lawnbowling and croquet courts at Pelican Bay Community Park if I were not in the
process of constructing competing courts, and it is very self-serving of me to try to stop
what I would otherwise be supporting.
I hope this change does not cause you any inconvenience.
Thank you for your past and present assistance with my requests.
Very truly • s,
