Staff Presentation: Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer Kelly Brock stated that Resolution 19- 3079 would approve an Agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the Secret Lake Park Redevelopment Project as part of a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant, including a commitment of $200,000 in local funding and $200,000 in federal grant funding, for a total commitment of $400,000, and authorizes the Mayor to execute said document on behalf of the City. To support the grant application, the project was added to the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Approval of related Budget Amendment #19-022 is also requested. In response to questions from Mr. Newlon and the City Commission, Dr. Brock shared that some of the proposed improvements to be included as part of the grant funding were: improvements to the playground and addition of some new structures to make the playground ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) accessible; making the parking at the Recreation Center ADA accessible; new sidewalk connections and repairs to the trail and sidewalks; addition of some fitness equipment; addition of a new trail connection linking Frances Avenue back to the existing sidewalk system; renovation of the kayak/canoe launch area including kayak and paddle board storage; new shade structures, new picnic areas and a new replacement pavilion, all of which are consistent with the improvements called for in the Parks, Recreation, Pathways and Open Spaces Master Plan. He also clarified that the shade structures could not be attached to the Recreation Center under guidelines for the grant monies as the funding was specifically for outdoor recreation areas; however, the plan was to try and cover the entire patio area of the Recreation Center with the shade structures.
