Barber Street Skate Facility - Initial Development Process
Please be advised that the City Manager's Office will host a meeting
Monday October 23rd, 4:00 p.m. with community youth to solicit ideas
relative to slopes and internal size dimensions for the future Barber Street
Sports Complex Skate Facility. Arrangements are being made to solicit bids
to develop the facility, whereby an engineering plan will be compiled prior to
outline respective physical and structural components. The purpose of
soliciting youth input is to best ascertain recent trends in skating, as well as
to provide an opportunity for them to contribute ideas accordingly. The
attached preliminary plan outlines rough dimensions. Once Monday's
process is completed, a bid package will be assembled, which will ultimately
lead to a recommendation to commence with actual construction,
anticipated sometime after the Holiday Season.
Sebastian Student Government Day
Just a reminder about Sebastian Student Government Day, to take place
next Wednesday, October 25th 9:00 a.m. until circa 12:30 p.m. here at City
Halt (and other facilities such as the police station and golf course). Over
100 students from area schools, to be assigned to various City of Sebastian
staff, department directors and officials to discuss and learn about municipal
operations will invade the complex. City Council members are highly
encouraged to participate, as the activity will essentially serve as an "open
house for students". The event will culminate with mock City Council
meetings, whereby selected students will serve as 'City Councilmembers',
'City Clerk', 'City Manager' and 'City Attorney' for the day, as well as
deliberate and "direct policy". The City Clerk's Office has done an excellent
job in compiling information packets, literature and information about the
City of Sebastian. As such, no problems are anticipated.

Schumann Drive Heavy Truck Passa,qe
Recently, numerous telephones calls were received by the City Manager's
Office relative to addressing the possibility of establish a "no heavy truck
traffic zone" for Schumann Drive. A primary rationale communicated by
various residents for implementing this arrangements relates to the recent
resurfacing of the thoroughfare (for many years, large truck traffic was
blamed for premature road damage citywide, particularly Schumann Drive).
Before considering such an effort, it becomes appropriate to ascertain
feasibility accordingly. As such, the Engineering Department will compile an
assessment summary that outlines applicable logistics. Once the report is
complete, a presentation to include a recommendation to City Council will
be provided, in effort to conclude discussions about such matters.
Use of Riverview Park
Please be advised that Lakeside Fellowship Church will host a prayer
gathering at Riverview Park Sunday October 22nd. As only 60 people are
anticipated to attend, authorization was granted by the City Manager's Office
per the recently authorized park use policy. Although events with
anticipated attendance to be less than 300 do not require City Council
action, I will keep City Council abreast as to any events being held in City
parks. In addition, rest assure that all requirements will be incorporated to
ensure safety and compliance requirements (i.e., security, applicable
maintenance, etc.)
Indian River County Sheriff's Department Safety Fair
For the reasons outlined in the above-referenced paragraph, please be
advised that the Indian River County Sheriff's Office will host a safety fair at
the Barber Street Sports Complex Saturday October 21~t, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. Anticipated attendance is anticipated at approximately 50 people,
without scheduling conflicts with any little league events.
