PUBLIC 1NPUT:
Tim Cobb, asks Mr. Matson if they use the money for other areas to do work now how
does it get replaced. Mr. Matson says they get more money each year so it is just
reallocated. Says he would like to see a second volleyball court at Riverview park also
the net needs a cable — They would like to have a tournament at the Clam Bake so would
like the court installed by then. Says would like to see the sand without shells and lights if
possible. Chris says he will talk to Mr. Minner but having it installed by the clambake
is pushing it. Also he says the netting on the north side of the park needs to be taller at
least 8 ft high. Chris says Mr. Minner said no to that.
Mr. Simpson says maybe shrubbery would work.

PUBLIC INPUT CONTINUED
Scott Nelson 426 Park Avenue — Easy Street park improvements light issue — in favor of
the lights would like the committee to move forward as soon as possible put more lights
by the oak tree.
Jim Sunnycalb — says the volleyball group is awesome and we should put a bleacher there
for people to watch. Also in favor of the lights — He says the Pete Harris plaque is
missing and it is okay for temporary. Also says the lights on the Christmas tree go out all
the time — Chris says the tree is rented and will talk to them per Mr. Minner to see if they
can change the bulbs. Sunny says led lights are the best. He says people are letting their
dogs off lease in the overflow parking area. The County does not supply doggie bags —
people should bring their own.
The dog park anniversary need a recycle can there — December 3rd is the xmas parade
bring your dogs in costumes.
CHAIRMENS MATTERS;
Mrs. White asks about the xmas movie in the park — Chris will get available dates — Easy
Street near the playground would like to see a can for butts
MEMBERS MATTERS
Mr. Adams says would it be more cost effective to buy the equipment — Chris says it is
better for Brevard County to do the movies if we are only doing 3 or 4 a year. He does
not recommend the purchase.
Blossom park looks good but it is not used much
Mr. Tenerowicz says Filbert Street Park has a lot of weeds in play ground area — Barber
Street parking area needs restriping at the baseball iields
Mrs. Webster says would like little league to run the concessions at the movie in the park
if possible. Chris says the Lion's Club handles that.
Mr. Simpson says the parks look great and putting in a second court at Riverview Park is
a good idea.
