Caroline Mathews said the last issue is 3) When the children come to the Library and they use the bathroom, there is never any soap in the bathroom dispensers. She has been there at different times of the day and when she complains; she is told they are filled every morning, someone must be stealing it, and they recommend she eo to the City Commission meeting. We have all these viruses going around, we have all of these children who have dirty hands running in and out of the Library touching the books, and all of these other people doing the same thing, that is an unacceptable situation. Either have someone go in twice a day to fill the soap dispensers, and how can five (5) soap dispensers be empty by 11:00 a.m. City Manager Russo said that is something that we can take care of. and the City_ Commission said that is the easy one. 13B. Tony Snyder to Discuss his Concern of the Exercise Equipment in the Parks. Action: Tony Snyder said he is concerned about the exercise equipment in the Parks, they are terrible. Anywhere in the world you can find wonderful exercise equipment in the Parks and on the beach. Our City does not have that in the Parks or on the beach. A volley ball court is also needed. He said he can volunteer his expertise on this. Mayor Edelcup said we have exactly what you are speaking about on the beach. He suggested that Mr. Snyder make an appointment with the City Manager.

We have not had use of our terrace for a year. we have no view. we do have a high level of frustration. We have no confidence in our Property, Manager or the Board of Directors. In fact our Property Manager has intimidated many of the residents. and tried to intimidate her. They were snow birds for 14 years, we are now full time residents and faced with lots of questions and hoping for answers. This afternoon they had a conversation with one of their Board members and he did give them a brief update that the Engineer is working with the Contractor, and according to this Board member, the permits have been issued. Her question is that she does not understand how permits were issued with not knowing what work has to be done.
