lease purchase agreement is for four golf course utility carts,
one cart being donated by Club Car with the purchase of the 80
golf carts, and Coca Cola donating one additional utility cart
for the purpose of the beverage sales.

the City to purchase 20 new golf carts yearly and lease 60 vs
replacing the entire fleet at one time. Mr. Barcinski explained
at this time the entire fleet is approximately five years old and
needs replacing however, he acknowledged in the future he would
look into purchasing 20 golf carts yearly.

Partners International, Inc., regarding the "Hoop It Up" event
however, at this time staff was looking for a conceptual approv-
al.
Mayor Lynch requested that staff bring back to Commis-
sion additional information concerning the extend of City sup-
port, costs and insurance coverage and the County scheduling
since this event would be using the Tennis Stadium Court.

moved to an alternate facility.
City Attorney advised she was contacted by Palm Beach
regarding the conveyance of the Catherine Strong Property to the
City. The deed will contain a reverter provision that the prop-
erty must be used for public recreation programs or it will
revert back to the County. The County's main concern at this
time, is that the Head Start Program be allowed to remain on the
premises until space is available in the Carver Middle School,
which will probably be in March, 1995 or soon thereafter.

remain on the premises and communication to continue with the
