He gave out copies of a letter he had written Mr. Rozansky concerning the Altamonte Springs theraputic pool. He went over the letter which included the costs of construction and maintenance of the pool. He passed out brochures and newspaper articles about the pool, and pictures of the pool. Mr. Kulbes said he would like to see a pool included in the Master Plan. He suggested a 25 meter pool in order to be able to have swimming meets. Discussion. A user fee was discussed. Mr. Barth said they will bring in a pool consultant to work with the City. Discussion. Mr. Barth said that nothing had changed in the development program except for the pool. It includes the ball fields, the children's playground and the caretaker's residence. Mr. Barth gave out a packet which contains a "base concept" of what the park should look like. He also handed out a "matrix" which has a park program on one side and also a park program on the other. He handed out a "concept studies" brochure of what the park should look like. He explained the three concepts his staff had worked out for the park. His staff favored concept B because they felt it was important to maximize active recreation. Their desire was to fence the site for security. Their opinion was not to have a general admission fee, but user fees instead. There should be an office on site. Mr. Barth took their ideas and constructed a "preferred concept". He suggested a sign warning that there are alligators in the lake. He suggested an indoor facility, especially if there is going to be a swimming pool. Discussion. Mr. Barth presented the site inventory drawing of the plan for the park. Discussion. Parking spaces were discussed. Mr. Barth suggested that the Commission go to the Altamonte Springs park and look it over. Commissioner Kaehler said that Commissioner Jacobs has made a request of her through the City Attorney for copies of two letters, one of which is from Stanley Cohen and the other from Doug Sealy. She stated that she has filed the letters with the City Clerk in order to make copies of them and give the copies to Commissioner Jacobs. She offered to read the letters into the record. Commissioner Jacobs said no. Mr. Rozansky had invited Mr. Jacob Steward from the Orlando Chamber of Commerce to speak about the arts. He spoke for the United Arts of Centrai Florida. He asked for support from Winter Springs. Mayor Grove told him he could count on Winter Springs for some help, and that the City Manager would be in touch. . . . - Workshop Meeting, City Commission, Aug. 20, 1990 Page 2 1990/91 Budget Review: Commission Expense - Contribution for the Arts, $1,000, Civic Association, $1,000, Senior Program, $5,000, Federation of Senior Citizens, $1,000.
