Riverview Park -irrigation should go in within the next 30 days
Stormwater Park -Chris says there is a meeting tomorrow with St John's staff
Dog Park - 1.72 acres Mrs. White says new location is great place, Mr. Seaman feels it is
also good, Good location per Don, Ms Brown is okay with it but concerned about the
surrounding houses.
Community Center No discussion at this time
Farmers Market -Don says true market would get support but a produce stand not so
much
New Business: Mrs. White is nominated as vice chairman no other nominations,
approved
Public Input: Andrea Coy wants to schedule neighbor hood park events -yard sale funds
to be used for floating docks, gazebos, neighbors will handle it all not the City of
Sebastian
Bruce Ingman -Sebastian - An event is great but it is got to be controlled - Stormwater
is the favorite park -North side should be the entrance striped and no parking signs need
water fountain and handicapped parking
Jim Sunnyland - turns a brochure over to Chris about water fountains, which dogs can
drink from too or maybe we could make our own fountain. Also could put one at the
Main Street improvements.
Chairman's Matters: Concerned about the way input is not received by committee before
anything goes to P & Z and others.

Members Comments: Mr. Sims also feels strongly about this matter.
Mrs. White says that was her concern when first joined -The Council should take our
comments to heart. Schumann park was one of our projects and we should be included in
the process.
Ms. Brown Shares concerns since we took time to find out what people wanted.
Mr. Seaman agrees totally.
Keep Agenda the same - Congrats to Joanne for becoming vice-chairman
Staff- Maybe a special meeting could be held before the P & Z meeting to discuss
