Doug Mummaw presented. Mr. Jacobsen left the room at 9:09 PM. Mr. Jacobsen returned to the room at 9:10 PM. The Board reviewed the plans. The following comments were noted.

• Mr. Vander Ploeg said most of the signs in the center are black except the anchors and they need a sign program or criteria. • Mr. Caycedo noted that the old signs had frames which kept it consistent and the frames are now removed due to the

• The applicant noted the sign was distorted with the black letters and it partners with CVS and Vino. Brooklyn is the trademark name. The applicant further noted it would remove “the original” but really wants red for Brooklyn.

• Ms. Baumann took a straw vote and only 2 could support with Brooklyn in red. • Mr. Caycedo and Mr. Vander Ploeg again suggested that the center have sign criteria. • The applicant suggested they could do the returns and trim cap in black instead of white with the red letters.

He said there needs to be more shade in the parking lot and maybe could reduce the number of spots to create nicer islands. He was concerned about cleaning out the Glades area and adding more asphalt.

NEW BUSINESS:

2. 2014/2015 Proposed Operating Budget & 2014/15 – 2019/20 Capital Improvement Project – M. Gomez

Mr. Gomez spoke, referring to two handouts in the Board Packet. From the FY 2014-15 Proposed Budget handout, he talked about new programs and new personnel listed on page 3. He discussed the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District (BPD) Fund. He discussed the budget calendar ending with the Final Budget Public Hearing on September 18, 2014. He discussed the Cemetery/Mausoleum Fund and Golf Course Funds. He also spoke of BPD subsidizing the Red Reef Park Golf Course. Mr. Gomez then made comments related to the FY 2014-15 through FY 2019-20 Proposed Capital Improvements Program handout. He also indicated that, based upon comments from Ms. Piper and Ms. Millard, he would carefully consider needs related to the Meadows Park Pool. He answered questions from the Board. REPORTS:

1. Staff Updates – Community Centers – Sharon Duke Sharon Duke, supervisor of the James A. Rutherford Community Center, located in Patch Reef Park, spoke regarding summer camps. She provided participation and revenue statistics. The Board Members were shown a video of children having a great time in the different camps.

2. Department Project Updates – B. Parks Mr. Parks explained that Red Reef Park Maintenance Enclosure was almost finished. The 8” pipes were installed west of A1A to pump area for Gumbo Limbo Pumps. They are waiting for fittings. Two pumps are on order. Gumbo Limbo – Doors, Windows & Gutters were completed and coming off the list. We have 100% plans and specs for Spanish River Library Mezzanine Enclosure. Prices are going back and forth for James A. Rutherford Park Boardwalk Design. They are waiting for a load of sand for Playground Renovations for Woodlands Park. For Silver Palm Park Restroom Renovations, Mr. Parks reported that we have information from the consultant and would put this on the October City Council Agenda. He explained that this project was piggybacked through a cooperative bid service.

3. Parks & Recreation Monthly Report – J. Varney Mr. Varney began with the Recreation Services year-to-date revenue report for October-June. Following up on Ms. Duke’s comments regarding summer camps, he noted that the October–June Revenue Report showed that camp revenue has declined over the past several years. He said this figure was subject to misinterpretation as it only reflects revenue generated by the basic camp program. While basic camp revenue has declined, there has been a substantial increase in revenue generated by the specialty camps. Specialty camp revenue is reflected in numerous community center, tennis center and Gumbo Limbo line items. In conclusion, the noted total revenue is at a record high. NEW BUSINESS:

1. User Fees – B. Parks Mr. Parks presented from the Recreation Services Department’s User Fee Schedule in the Board Packet. He explained that these fees will be submitted with the budget. He only discussed those fees that changed. Dr. Frisch suggested changing the fee for rental on Saturday evening at the Community Center Annex - 2 hour minimum. Mr. Parks said the Department was agreeable to the change. Mr. Parks explained some fees (e.g. for the golf courses) were increased due to the CPI increase. Mr. Parks responded to Board questions.

MOTION was made by Mr. Boylan, seconded by Mr. Good, to recommend to the City Council acceptance of all the changes with the amendments. MOTION PASSED 7-0.

2. 2014/2015 Proposed Operating Budget & 2014/15 – 2019/20 Capital Improvement Project – M.
