The advisory board recommended that staff apply for two Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grants: a combined Mount Plymouth/Scott Park application ($400,000 total; $200,000 requested) and a North Lake Regional Park application ($150,000; $112,500 requested). The board voted to approve staff pursuing the applications and outreach is planned.

Park owners and managers, including a nonprofit operator of Sterling Shores, urged the board not to enact an immediate rent freeze, saying reduced revenue threatens maintenance and could force service cuts; several industry groups asked for mediation and data‑based solutions instead.

A county parks presenter requested a $30 million bond to fund repairs and revenue-generating additions across county parks, while commissioners debated combining a smaller bond issuance with a building fund to limit levy and debt impacts. No final vote is recorded in the transcript.
