Mr. Parks reviewed the information in the Board Packet which listed 46 studies that have been conducted since 1998, and as of today, there have been no reported relationships of adverse health effects on those playing on crumb rubber Sand Pine Park will remain available for public use. The number one complaint is that artificial turf fields get hot and the City is looking at a cooler artificial turf field. The Board Members asked questions and gave comments. The City is looking at organic infill field made of corn husk, cork and coconut fibers. It seems to be 30 degrees cooler than crumb rubber. Mr. Gomez said that when he was at the National Recreation Parks Association (NRPA) he went to several classes about this subject. Mr. Gomez said that the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District (GBRB&PD) was having a public meeting on November 12th and they would hear what all the users would like. Discussion ensued that organic materials and materials known to be non-dangerous should be considered. The City is doing its due diligence and there are no plans to install any crumb rubber artificial turf fields. OLD BUSINESS: STAFF COMMENTS:

1. Director’s Report Mr. Gomez previously spoke about different subjects earlier in the meeting.

Sherman Lang and his staff have been tasked with fueling the diesel rental pump daily due to the failure of the seawater pumps at Gumbo Limbo. When the tank truck’s pump broke down, he figured out how to keep the pump running continuously since the initial failure. JD Varney awarded the Commitment Award to Mia Turner. Mia has outstanding customer service. When Mia walked out of the pro shop, she noticed all the commotion at the bridge. A customer dropped a set of keys into the water beneath the bridge. Mia went into the water and, using a net, found the keys. JD Varney awarded the Innovation Award to Vicky Gilligan. She developed a simple, accurate and timely method of documenting hours worked for 151 part-time employees. At the conclusion of every pay period, Ms. Gilligan updates the report which must be accurate for three one-year periods. This gives supervisory staff a great management tool.
