A. Batting Cage Update
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 2
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Mr. Benton updated the Committee on the batting cage project. There were a few delays
with the contractor. In order to not interfere with the little league season, this project was
pushed back to the summertime. Staff did not feel comfortable taking the fencing down
on the cage, having the netting installed, and not having the fence line connected from
the third base dugout on field 4 and the first base dugout on field 3 to the fence pole. That
was left as is for now, and it will be a summertime project along with the rest of the
baseball/softball field projects. There were no questions or comments from the
Committee.
8. Public Input — None
9. New Business
A. Integrated Pest Management Plan for Parks Discussion
Mr. Benton reviewed that City Council had imposed a 120-day moratorium, banning the
use of herbicides and pesticides within City parks and properties. Based on information
received from the Integrated Pest Management workshops, a sub -committee was formed
to develop an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) for the City's parks.
This committee is composed of Kim Haigler, the Environmental Technician with the City;
Thomas Carrano, who is a Natural Resources Board member; Kathy Brothers, who is a
Natural Resources Board member; Brian O'Neill, who is a Natural Resources Board
member; Dr. Graham Cox, who is a scientific consultant; Christine Kelly-Begazo, who is
the Indian River County Extension Director for the University of Florida IFAS; and Mr.
Benton. This sub -committee has been tasked with developing the IPM for the City's
parks.
This sub -committee met beginning February 12 and will meet each Wednesday at 3:00
p.m. until the end of March to develop this plan.
Included in tonight's agenda packet are a few of the slides that were shown on the kick-
off presentation to City Council on February 12 (SEE ATTACHED). Mr. Benton described
the first slide and explained the various elements in the Community IPM Cycle.
The second slide defined what a pest is. He further described which pests are treated at
the different parks in the City. He named the pests that have been identified in the parks
system. They are fire ants, sod webworms, mole crickets, grubs, moles, cutworms, mice,
Japanese beetle grubs, broadleaf weeds, signal grass, torpedo grass, goose grass, dollar
weed, sedge grass, crabgrass, and pennywort.
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 3
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020
The third slide shows how the different parks have been separated into different
classifications so that specific pests can be identified for each park classification in order
to better identify which methods should be used.
The fourth slide displays the schedule and deadlines for the IPM sub -committee. The
committee meets every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. upstairs in the conference room at City
Hall. These meetings are open to the public.
Mr. Benton reviewed that the sub -committee did visit Barber Street Athletic Complex and
Friendship Park last week to identify the pests and hear from the certified applicators on
exactly their process to maintain the fields. He reviewed the City's process for applying
the products at the parks and that the City strictly follows the directions on the products'
labels.
He explained that each member of the sub -committee is assigned pests individually.
Those committee members will submit their inputfrom the biological, cultural, mechanical,
and chemical control aspects. It was discussed at the last meeting that the goal is to
have every single person on the sub -committee agree 100 percent with the plan that will
be presented to Council.
Discussion among Mr. Benton and the committee members was had regarding whether
fire ants are being treated during the moratorium. Mr. Benton stated that Friendship Park
was shut down because of the large population of fire ants there. City Council did give
staff permission to treat Friendship Park. It was treated with Advion fire ant bait.
Mr. Renzi inquired if the City will be using any pesticides or herbicides in the future. Mr.
Benton stated that even organic products are listed as pesticides. Pesticides will be used
in some forth going forward, but at this point he cannot state what the sub -committee is
going to come up with as their solutions. No pesticides or herbicides whatsoever have
been used by the City since the moratorium except for treating the fire ants at Friendship
Park. A test was done before the moratorium on a non -selective herbicide, which was
when the use of glyphosate was attempting to be eliminated. A product called Eco-Mite
W.O.W. was used in that test right beside Roundup (glyphosate). The Eco-Mite W.O.W.
product worked just as well, if not better, than Roundup. He cannot speak to whether it
can be used in the waterways, as it has not been tested for those areas. That product,
being non -selective, will kill the weeds and the grass, so it would not be used in the turf
fields, but only along the fences, sidewalks, etc. where there should be nothing growing.
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Ms. White asked when the 120-day moratorium will expire. Mr. Benton stated it is the
end of March some time. The plan is to present the Integrative IPM Plan at the April 8lh
City Council meeting.
Ms. White also asked why the Easy Street Park is a passive park when so many children
and adults use that park. Mr. Benton explained how those designations were made, but
his staff can look at reevaluating that park. Ms. White stated the fire ants are active all
along the edges of the sidewalks.
10. Staff Matters
A. Current Project(s) Updates
• Park Signage Project -- Mr. Benton staled he is currently awaiting new samples
from the manufacturer that will show the final design that was chosen. The project
manager for this company whom the City was working with has decided to leave.
That slowed the timeline down a bit. At the last meeting, staff did ask this company
to develop an epoxy rope that could be added to the poles for the signs, as had
been discussed at this committee's December meeting. He expects them to come
back to the City with that product in the next two to three weeks. They have also
been asked to produce a mini version of a full-scale sign so that staff will have an
entire sample put together as opposed to just a drawing. That should be available
for this committee at the next meeting.
• Baseball and Softball Field Projects — All of these items have been moved to
the summer because of an issue with the fence contractor.
• Pickleball Courts — Staff is working to finalize a grand opening date. As soon as
it is finalized, which he expects to be within the next couple weeks, he will send an
email and/or a phone call to all committee members announcing the date and the
time.
Ms. White asked about lighting. Mr. Benton stated the plan is still to go forward
with the token -operated lighting system as was described at this committee's last
meeting. He expects that within the next four to six months the lighting will be
completed.
The contract with the airport is currently being reviewed by the new City Attorney,
and Mr. Benton will send a copy of that contract to each committee member.
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Mr. Denise asked if there was no other place to put the pickleball courts except at
the airport. Mr. Benton stated Friendship Park was looked at as a place to put the
pickleball courts. There were concerns over parking and concerns over the
number of courts that could be fit back there. With the large amount of space
needed for the number of courts planned, it was decided to use the airport property.
Mr. Denise is concerned with the amount of rent to be paid to the airport. He also
asked if there will be a professional available to give lessons. Mr. Benton stated
he understands the amount for rent is going to be changing somewhat -- not going
up but coming down. He described the management of the courts initially and how
that will change somewhat as time goes on and there is more information available
to the City regarding the hours with most usage, etc. Going forward, there will be
times for people to rent the courts, but it is the City's desire that some of the courts
are open to the general public all the time.
Ms. Webster asked if, once the courts at the airport are open, there is still going to
be pickleball available at the Schuman Drive location. Mr. Benton stated the
Schuman Drive facility will remain the same as it has been.
• Lightning Detector -- There is a new city attorney. Mr. Benton stated he is really
busy right now. Mr. Benton will get with him and have a discussion about the
lightning detector. He anticipates having an update at the March meeting.
• Mulch Replacement — Ms. White asked if the much replacement is still being
planned at George Street and Filbert. Mr. Benton stated Filbert has been
converted from a sand playground to a mulch playground. That project is done.
George Street is getting a new playground this year, so the RFP is going out
sometime the middle of March. When that is received, It will come to this
committee for approval for the playground before the City moves forward with
purchasing. That will have a special needs portion to it.
Ms. Webster brought up the subject of shade shelters at the playgrounds. Mr.
Benton stated that is something that can be looked at in the future.
B. Board Opening
Mr. Benton said there is still one alternate board member position available.
11. Board or Committee Member Matters
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Ms. White stated the Easy Street Park is doing well. She is hoping that the Garden Park
can be looked at again in the future.
Mr. Danise brought up the rubber pallets.. They present a tripping hazard. He also stated
about half the lights at the tennis courts are not working. He inquired If there are new
lights being installed. Mr. Benton stated yes. The LED lights have been ordered and
received. The problem now is access. The gates are too small to get the City's lift in, so
portions of the fence must be removed in order to get access. He estimates this will be
completed in the next two to three weeks.
Mr. Renzi asked about the limeframe on work in Riverview Park. Mr. Benton stated the
sidewalks in Riverview Park is the first phase of that plan. It is in the budget to redo some
sidewalks. The discussion is currently about whether to go back to concrete sidewalks
or to do asphalt sidewalks.
Ms. Webster asked if there will be an Easter Egg Hunt this year. Mr. Benton said the
Easter Egg Hunt will be April 11. The plan is for the event to start at 9:00 a.m. The egg
hunt will start promptly at 10:00 a.m.
She stated that Shrimp Feat is March 20, 21, and 22. Mr. Benton also stated the Pelican
Island Festival will be March 7th.
12. Items for the Next Agenda and Date: March 23, 2020
13. Adiourn
There being nothing further, Ms. Webster called for a motion. A motion to adjoum the
meeting was made by Ms. Webster, seconded by Mr. Renzi, and passed unanimously
via voice vote.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Sebastian has twelve City Boards, Committees and/or Commissions. A
description of the duties, purpose, and meeting schedules of each board are provided in
this "Handbook". Some of the Boards have statutory powers, while others serve in an
advisory capacity to the City Council. Board members are a valuable part of American
local government that includes citizen input in the policy and decision making process.
In the City of Sebastian, "Service is our Business". To make us truly a service
community, we need your help and expertise. City Boards, Committees and
Commission Members can be a strong, positive force in planning the development of
our City.
As a member of one of our boards, you may be the only contact a citizen has with local
government. That first contact - that first impression - is a vital part of the
communication that must exist between citizens and their government. Many people
quickly make up their minds about the City of Sebastian based on their initial contact
with just one person. Public relations is not publicity, it is our collective ability to handle
the concerns and requests of our citizens.
On behalf of the City Council, City Manager, City Attorney and Staff, we WELCOME you
to our City team. Please feel free to call the City Clerk's office (589-5330) for
assistance.

SUNSHINE LAW
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Florida Constitution, Article I, Section 24(b)
Florida Statutes, Section 286.011
www.mvfloridaleoal.com/sunshine (online training videos)
Q. What is the Sunshine Law?
A. Florida's Govemment-in-the-Sunshine law provides a right of access to governmental
proceedings at both the stale and local levels. It applies to any gathering of two or more
members of the some board to discuss some matter which will forseeably come before
that board for action. There is also a constitutionally guaranteed right of access.
Virtually all stale and local collegial public bodies are covered by the open meetings
requirements with the exception of the judiciary and the state Legislature which has its
own constitutional provision relating to access.
Q. What are the requirements of the Sunshine Law?
A. The Sunshine law requires that 1) meetings of boards or commissions must be open to
the public; 2) reasonable notice of such meetings must be given, and 3) minutes of the
meeting must be taken.
Q. What qualifies as a meeting?
A. The Sunshine law applies to all discussions or deliberations as well as the formal action
taken by a board or commission. The law, in essence, is applicable to any gathering,
whether formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to
discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or
commission. There is no requirement that a quorum be present for a meeting to be
covered under the law.
Q. What are the requirements for minutes?
A. Generally, a written summary of events (not every detail) occurring at the meeting. The
minutes must be open to public inspection within a reasonable time. The meeting does
not have to be recorded but if it is, the recorded media becomes a public record and is
subject to the public records law.
Q. What are the personal consequences of Sunshine Law violations?
A. "Knowingly" violating the law is punishable by 60 days jail and/or fine up to $500.00.
Suspension and/or removal from office. Noncriminal fine up to $500.00. Payment of
attorneys fees.
The City Attorney can assist you if you have any questions regarding the
Sunshine Law.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Florida Constitution Article 11, Section 8
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Conflicts of interest may occur when public officials are in a position to make decisions, which
affect their personal financial interests. This is why public officers and employees, as well as
candidates who aspire to hold public office, are required to publicly disclose their financial
