Chairmans Matters: None
Members Matters:
Mr. Van Arsdall says construction on Barber Street is causing a problem for the parking
by the soccer and football fields. The police were giving tickets to everyone who was
parked in the swale area. Chris says they will do that if the parking lots are not filled
before you park there but he will talk to the chief.
Mr. Pelletier Nothing
Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes
Mr. Danise says went to two EAR meetings and the city is in good shape recreation wise.
He would like the committee to give thought to meeting every other month rather than
monthly since nothing seems to be happening right now that they need to discuss.
Parks and Recreation Meeting April 26, 2010 Page two
Mr. Sims says we should make this an agenda item for the next meeting so Mrs. White
can give input. Mr. Adams wants monthly, Mr. Seaman says doesn't care, Mr. Pelletier
ok for every other month and Mr. Van Arsdall could go either way
Mr. Seaman says thanks to Sunny and Jake for all they do.
Mr. Adams asks about the two tables for Riverview Park that were discussed last month
Chris says he doesn't see a problem and that his people should be able to take care of it.

Approved May 24, 2010 Regular Meeting By
Chairman, Parks and Recreation
RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM
RECOMMENDATION:
That regular Recreation Advisory monthly meeting be changed to
quarterly meetings, unless Chairman, Parks Recreation Director, or
two Committee members request a meeting between regular scheduled
monthly meetings.
RATIONALE:
Being that all Recreation Advisory Committee members and their email
address is now listed on the City of Sebastian website and that during
the last quarter, no meaningful business was conducted during these
meetings and that the financial climate of the City, County and State
constitutes examination of needed financial expenditures and the
savings of electricity and paid city staff would be more beneficial than
the open discussions of those missed monthly meetings.
ALTERNATIVE TO RECOMMENDATION:
That Recreation Advisory Committee meeting is held every other month
to examine any possible inconveniences of quarterly meetings.
IMPACT ON SERVICES:
Seen as negligible, possibly more residential contact with committee
members.
