The meeting was called to order at 5:30.
The board unanimously approved to adopt the minutes of the January 26, 2010 meeting.
Gene Petre expressed his concern that guests with ideas and suggestions keep to the
subject, and not just pop up.
Robert Lefever presented his director report from February — May 2010. There were no
questions. He then presented Eileen Kandret with a certificate of appreciation for her
service on the Recreation Board.
Doug Raymond was appointed as a regular member and Chris Hale was appointed first
alternate member of the Recreation Board.
There was a discussion regarding Corporate Rates for Manatee Park. A fee of $500.00
per day would be charged for any rentals that collect monies for vendor spaces,
admission fees, retail sales, food/beverage sales or parking. Chris Hale suggested
Commercial Rate would better apply because a corporation can rent the park for a
company picnic, Gene agreed. Eileen made the motion to call it a Commercial Rate,
Carol seconded the motion. Gene moved to accept the recommendation by the Recreation
Director to have it amended to Commercial Rate as was suggested by Chris. All were in
favor. Dave Schirtzinger said he was concerned Cape Canaveral residents would be upset
if there was a long term rental. Director Robert Lefever responded that it would have to
be approved by the Outdoor Entertainment Committee, who would decide if it was in the
best interest of the City.
The board reviewed the Non -Resident Rates to be paid in addition to the Resident fees
for classes, facility rental, summer camp, tournaments, court fees and parent's night out.
Eileen moved to approve the rates and it was seconded by Carol. The board unanimously
approved to charge the non-resident rates as it is written.
There was a brief discussion about how well Friday Fest and Movie in the Park were
coming along. Gene indicated the need to entertain the thought of a bigger Youth Center.
Robert informed the board that Saturday, July 31s1 The Kid's Community Awareness Day
will be taking place and that 225 backpacks needed to be stuffed with school supplies.
Everyone agreed to be at the Recreation Center Friday, July 30th at 7:O0pm to stuff them.
Eileen said it was a privilege to serve on the Recreation Board for the past three years and
will miss the board and the City. All members present wished her well.
Next Recreation Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for July 27, 2010.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:30pm.
