NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Vergara announced that while the "Movie in the Park" at Manatee

the venue to Canaveral City Park. Mr. Petre agreed that the Park is walkable and more
accessible to more residents and should result in a better turn out.

at our local schools, we are currently sending home the Department's Recreator which
has all upcoming events, classes, activities and programs,
OLD BUSINESS: Ms. Michel indicated that she was not aware of our events and would
like to get information on them as they come up, Mr, Vergara responded that the Board
will get the Recreator via email every month.
Ms. Woodside presented the Board with a presentation for the Board to consider a study
program to include workshops, with members of the Board, citizens and interested people
to create a Cape Canaveral Center for the Arts. Mr. Schoenholtz suggested that a multi
purpose center could be used for this. Mr. Petre thanked Ms. Woodside for the
information she provided and recommended that it be brought back at the next meeting to
give the Board some time to study it and put together thoughts and ideas. He also asked
the Director to look into moving the playground equipment from Banana River Park to
Manatee Sanctuary Park.
