Summary Minutes: Special City Commission Meeting September 14,2006 First Budget Hearing Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Commissioner Thaler asked if we are planning on using the Active Park for any events going forward, and Ms. Simpson said yes when it is open, and it won't be ready for Summer Camp next year, but the projected date for the absolute earliest for the first portion of it is due in phases, the first phase is at the end of July, and our Summer Camp begins in June. Mayor Edelcup asked why we are spending additional dollars to rent space when we have the 192nd Street property that has a 5,000 - 6,000 square foot building on it. City Manager Szerlag said they would sit down and look at that and have either a justification or a recalibration by the final budget session. Commissioner Thaler said he had heard that one ofthe departments was going to use that building. Ms. Simpson said at the time the budget was prepared we still do not know what we are going to do with that space or how we can use it so she would rather budget for the rental and not have to use it then to need it and not have it. Vice Mayor Brezin asked what is the rental cost for our Summer Camp where we are using the St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church facility, and Ms. Simpson said it is $5,000 for each facility (2). Ms. Simpson said that holiday lights are included in the rental item, and Mayor Edelcup said that should be moved to equipment. He said the general philosophy would be let's not spend the money if we have the space sitting around the City some place. Mayor Edelcup said he would like the programs to be balanced between youth and adults. Ms. Simpson we have the space issue, when the community center is completed we will have more opportunity for that perhaps the use of 19200 Collins A venue, the meeting room is quite full, so we are limited to what we can do.
