SUBJECT: Motions by the Parks and Recreational Facilities. Board
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to advise you of two motions made and unanimously
approved by the Parks and Recreational Facilities Board on June 1, 2011.
MOTION # 1
The Parks & Recreational Facilities Board requests that the City re- distribute funds - currently
allocated in the Flamingo Park Master Plan, to fund the currently unfunded restrooms at Flamingo
Park that are located by the Softball Field (Friendship Corner).,
This motion was approved unanimously.
MOTION # 2
The Parks & Recreational Facilities Board requests the City Administration to evaluate reallocating
the funds that are currently allocated to the construction of new restrooms servicing the
racquetball and basketball courts, to the renovation of the existing softball field restrooms or brand
new construction and /or in conjunction, consider relocating the new funded restrooms to the west,
to service the two sites (racquetball /basketball courts and softball field), with preference to only
build or renovate one set of bathrooms and place in between the two sites to service both.
This motion , was approved unanimously.
As background, the current Flamingo Park Master Plan has a new set of bathrooms, currently
funded for construction to the west of the racquetball courts to service the basketball and
racquetball courts. The currently existing bathrooms, adjacent to the softball field, are in poor
condition, and funding has not been earmarked to refurbish or re- construct it. The Board believes
that the bathrooms are not too far away from each other and one set of bathrooms, strategically
located in between both sites, may function as well and service both sites without reduction in
service levels.
