HOME OF PEUCAN 1%4ND CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL FORM
Council Meeting Date: 22 July 2015
Agenda Item Title: Disc Golf
Recommendation: Direct Staff on Disc Golf Site
Background: Staff requests Council's direction for a Disc Golf Course
location. Citizens have voiced negative concerns with the
proposed sites at Schumann Island, Storm Water Park, and
every other venue in the City. St. Johns River Water
Management District has indicated that Disc Golf does not
fit in their Resource Based Activities criteria. In addition,
Indian River County P&R is not willing to consider a joint
venture at their North County Facility. At the 22 June 2015
Parks & Rec Advisory Board meeting, Filbert Street Park
was approved as an option. Subsequent to that meeting,
there has been citizen negative response to that proposal.
Staff has spent considerable time on the issue without any
acceptable proposals. An attached City park `matrix'
indicates the unavailability of sufficient space for a Disc
Golf course.
If Agenda Item Requires Expenditure of Funds:
Total Cost: $18,000.00
Amount Budgeted in Current FY: $18,000.00 ;(X/-
