003 <br />A short power -point presentation was shown in reference to a "bike skills area" the City <br />would like to see located at Kiwanis Park and a splash pad at an undisclosed location. <br />Discussion followed as to also locating a splash pad at Horton Park. It was noted that Parks <br />and Recreation is looking into major upgrades for this Park. <br />Commissioner Charles Parks joined the meeting at 12:10 p.m. <br />Commissioner Smith discussed a recent survey of fire hydrant errors in the County. It was <br />noted there are more than 150 fire hydrants that are missing, defective or undocumented <br />within Lee County. Each rural fire department assisted with the survey within their district. In <br />order for homeowners to receive a low insurance rating, their property must be within 1,000 <br />feet of a hydrant. The missing hydrants could mean several hundreds of dollars in savings to <br />taxpayers. It was noted that it would cost between $3,000 - $5,000 to install /replace each <br />hydrant. Commissioner Smith stated he was going to share the information with the GIS <br />Department and get updated information. <br />Commissioner Womack asked City Councilman Poly Cohen, who sits on the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission, to ask that board to study a splash pad for future consideration. <br />It was agreed by all members present that quarterly meetings needed to be held but no <br />date was set for another meeting. <br />The meeting adjourned at 1 p.m. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Gaynell M. Lee, Clerk <br />Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />2 <br />
