The next order of business was comments from citizens and Bill Berg, owner of Rose Bootery,

The streetscape for downtown was reported on by Ream Wilson and Mike Mulligan. The
original plan called for all Heritage Oaks and now they have decided to use a variety.
Also, they now plan to plant the trees in grow bags in order to be able to have them
removed easily and replanted when they reach the desired height and size. The city
staff recommends the shade trees and said that they would position them, as much as
possible, so as to nO,t block merchants signs and that they would rotate them when they
became oversized for the area. . Chuck Finegan made a motion for the D.D.B. to approve
tbe::landscape program as presented by Ream Wilson, Director of the Parks & Recreation
Department of the City of Clearwater, and with particular recommendation and emphasis on
the use of the grow bags to provide easy rotation and with emphasis on the positioning
of the trees in respect to the merchants signage and with the recommendation that the city
does recognize the additional responsibility of maintaining the trees and removing the leaves
during the deciduous season, Bill O'Malley seconded the motion. A vote was taken by the
Chairman and the three opposing members of the board were Lillian Trickel, Ed Armstrong and
Tom Brown.
The next item was the discussion of the D.C.A. brochure by Bill Berg. He requested that

of the expenses to produce a new brochure being absorbed by the Church of Scientology.
The next item on the Agenda was the appointment of a Nominating Committee for the two seats
coming up for election in November. Board members' Lillian Trickel and Chuck Finegan will
have completed their elected terms on December 31,1987. Chairman Armstrong appointed
Alan Bomstein, Lee Arnold and Tom Thompson for the committee this year.

Block. The board recommended that a letter of thanks be sent to both John Homer and
Harrison Robertson, owners of the buildings in question, for their cooperation in getting
the job done.
