Agenda Item #2.
June ?, 2019
To Our Fellow Tequesta Residents
Constitution Park and the recreation programs provided by our Parks and Recreation
department are greatly valued by Tequesta residents and are outstanding community assets.
However, many residents are asking for more. More includes, but is not limited to, expanded
programs for children and adults, the capacity to accept more Tequesta children into our
summer camps with a greater diversity of activities and a facility that enables offerings for our
residents young and old to occur simultaneously. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the
additional programs and services our residents have requested due to the limitations of our
current recreation building.
The Village Council is looking at taking the next step in process of the proposed
Community/Recreation Center, which is to engage the architects to finalize the building design
and blueprints to facilitate an RFP to contractors for the purpose of determining the method of
construction and clarify the cost. At this moment the architects have provided us with a
projected cost for construction of the new building at $5,500,000 with an additional $500,000
for architectural and project management costs.
We know one question on everyone's minds is how the Village will pay for the new facility and
how will it impact taxes. Currently the Village is making the final 2+ years of payments on the
Public Safety building. The Council has will have the opportunity in the future to direct these
funds to pay for the proposed recreation facility. Based on current interest rates the proposed
recreation facility could be financed over 30 years for the same payment on the Public Safety
building. Thus, the expectation is construction of the new recreation facility will have not
increase resident taxes.
The next question you may be asking is, if the Center is approved, when would the new will it
be opened for resident use? The process leading up to final Council approval involves several
key steps. This includes but is not limited to review by Planning & Zoning, Council acceptance
of the final design and pricing, approval of a contractor and the negotiation of the construction
contract. Assuming this can be completed with a ground -breaking in January of 2020 we would
anticipate the Center to be completed and available for resident use in the late spring of 2021.
A third question that people have asked is where the new Center will be located. Originally the
property on north Seabrook, known as Remembrance Park, was initially determined to be the
best location for the new Recreation Center. This decision was made in advance of the work
done by the Recreation/Community center Evaluation Committee, Negotiation Committee and
the Design Team and this Committee. While there was strong resident support for the new
Recreation Center at Remembrance Park it became apparent through resident prior resident
surveys and conversations that given a choice resident would prefer the Recreation Center to
be located at Constitution Park. This led the Design Team to challenge the premises for the
Remembrance Park location and to reevaluate locating the Recreation Center at Constitution

Park. The Design Team has completed the reevaluation and has unanimously recommended to
the Village Council that the proposed Recreation/Community Center be built at Constitution
Park thereby creating a Recreation Complex in a single location.
Included with this letter are the following items:
1. Floor plans. The first floor is designed and oriented for programs for children and youth.
The second floor is designed and oriented for adults.
2. Exterior renderings
3. Resident household survey
Once you have had an opportunity to review all the material, we ask that each adult member of
your household complete the survey and return it via mail, a drop box at Village Hall or by email
to .......... Surveys are due back by ........ 2019
We will be holding Community open houses for residents on .......... at .......... and ...... at ....... for
anyone who would like to speak with Parks & Recreation staff and members of the Committee
if you would like more information prior to completing and returning your survey.
Additionally, you can view floor plans and exterior renderings of the Center and speak with
Parks & Recreation staff at the current Parks & Recreation building during normal operating
hours, 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday.
We want everyone's voice to be heard on this important Village initiative so please take the
time to complete and return the survey. It should take you no more than 5 minutes.
Thank you for your time and active participation in helping us provide the voice of the Tequesta
community to the Village Council.
Regards,
Community Center Advisory Committee
