APPROVAL OF MINUTES
There were no minutes to approve.
OLD BUSINESS - NONE
NEW BUSINESS: NONE
Mr. Tenerowicz questions the concrete in the dugouts in the CIP budget says it may be a
liability to the city. Would like it on the agenda for the next meeting to discuss further
and ask Joanne Webster to invite the new president of Little League.
Mr. Tenerowicz brings up again putting padding on the poles for the Volleyball lights.
Also says the parking at the football field is out of control. Mr. Minner says the grant for
Tulip paving includes off street parking approximately 30 spaces and should help.
PUBLIC INPUT;
Sunny Capp says the volleyball light timer should be one to push for on and off so people
can use all night long. And not left on if not using the court.
Says the clambake is the 6th, 7th and 8th and would like more sand in the court by then.
The monument at Riverview Park has a hole in it near the top and needs to be fixed.
The boardwalk has been cleaned thanks to Joe Flescher.
He went to the new Port St Lucie dog park and says they use pine straw and we should
try some where the dirt areas are. Asked about the no fishing signs at the Stormwater
Park near the parking area Questions whether the City put them up.
There is an alligator in the Easy Street lake but it is small- no worries at this time.

CHAIRMANS MATTERS:
Mr. Tenerowicz asks the City Manager who is responsible for the 512 lights and Mr.
Minner states FPL has already been notified.
Mrs. White says there should be more lights on 512 and Mr. Minner says would have to
be done at budget time.
Mr. Tenerowicz asks about the creative playground water fountain — will be in next week
per Chris
Community center railing is on order
MEMBERS MATTERS:
Mrs. White says people are using the parks all the time.
Mrs. Flescher says George Street looks great same with Garden Club Park but the
benches still need work. Mrs. White says memorial benches can go there to save on the
cost. Also the fountain is shooting straight up — Chris says we are trying new things.
STAFF COMMENTS; Community Center assessment takes into account if a new
building is needed.
Will send a list to the committee for new sidewalks to be installed.
Chris McCarthy has nothing
