IV. DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO PROVISION OF A TEQUESTA RECREATION CENTER
Chairman Howell introduced the suggestion of expanding the current
"youth summer program, " or perhaps even a recreational center,
presented by the Village, to provide a productive, constructive
recreational program for the Village ' s youth . His emphasis was on
the fact that the Village needs to be identified with the
promotion of parks and recreation. Village Manager Bradford
suggested that a 10-question survey be submitted to the local
community with the next Newsletter to receive feedback from them
regarding this issue .

V. DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO VILLAGE SPONSORSHIP OF VARIOUS CIVIC AND
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES .
Chairman Howell suggested that the Village ought to tie into a
civic, patriotic-type occurrence , recognizing that there is a need
to have something every year as a commemorative event , but
something that' s fun as well -- a kind of ` flag-waving' day --
that would involve the youth as well as adults in bringing the
community together, noting that there is no substitute for good
communication. Village Manager Bradford suggested the Tequesta
Park or Jupter-Tequesta Junior Citizens area, properly prepared,
might be an ideal location. Finance Director, Bill Kascavelis ,
pointed out that a recreation center could be an expensive
endeavor . Village Manager Bradford read a memorandum from Harry
King , Planning Administrator, Martin County, regarding joint
efforts between Martin County and the Village in use and costs for
maintaining Tequesta Park . Mr. Kascavelis commended this idea and
suggested it might allow financial freedom for a recreational
center. Chairman Howell reminded the Committee that today' s youth
are tomorrow' s 'leaders , and we need to plant some quality seeds
now. He voiced the need of a plan, or at least an outline, for
park and recreational needs for the next few years .
VI . ANY OTHER MATTERS

VII . ADJOURNMENT
There being no other matters before the Committee , the meeting was
adjoured at 10 : 00 A.M.
