A RESOLUTION OF TItE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA,
FORMULATING TEMPORARY PARKS AND RECREATION
ADVISORY COMMITTEE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT;
PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian has reached a crossroads in meeting the
recreation needs of its citizens; and
WltEREAS, the City has recently committed to a long-term program of
expanding and improving passive park facilities, as well as active recreation, through
establishment of the Sebastian Recreational Impact Fee; and
WHEREAS, the City's Recreation Advisory Board established under Chapter 2 of
the City Code was created at a time when the organized sports leagues within the City
were viewed as virtually the exclusive source of recreational opportunities for the citizens,
but times have changed and a new approach is more appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian and Indian River County has an existing
informal arrangement for provision of limited recreational programs, but the relationship
between the County and the various municipalities in these matters is currently being re-
examined; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Sebastian determines that it would be
in the public interest to have a temporary committee of citizens to advise the City Council
as it develops a long-term policy on recreational activities and the development of our
park system;
