He reported as follows: 1. Sky Crest Nursery. ' city is trying to utilize and . salvage as much materials as possible when 'time and manpower allows. Materi~ls being used by both Forestry and Nursery Divisions. . . 2. Water costs are the major factor of concern in all areas. parks and Recreation Department uses more water than any other Department of the City. Mounting costs, which have tripled and even quadrupled within the past few months, have brought about tremendous cost and budget problems. Recent contractual investi- gations on shallow wells installations in several areas have proven disappointing and still there is the great need f~~ water supplies to keep our areas attractive. contin~ed investigations are being made in such areas as Island.Estates medians, Memorial causeway and Morningside 'areas. Mr. ~rd inquired if the City gave special water rates to its Parks and Recreation Depart- ment. The answer is: IINo.'J An example was given. Where a 2-ipch water meter which costs $129/montb, .' basic'rate, has"a,month of no consumption, base rate of $129 is still paid. It was noted that City area golf courses 'have their own wells for watering. ' ::' ; . '. 3. Fertilizer prices have gone up 30~~-40~~: another major '. concern. 4. plant materials budget has been cut. Parks and Recreation Department is dependent upon the city Nursery for plants which it develops and donations that come in which ~re most welcome from indivipuals and organizations such as the much appreciated assistance from the Board of Realtors. Moreover, there is still the problem of lack of necessary' pers onne 1. 5. The City Forestry is now engaged in a lengthy prog'ram of installing a buffer. strip along the highway, using 250 evergreen trees to screen the new sewage treat~ent plant at the City-rn~ned 320 acres in northeast Clearwater. This project will take them well into.February. '.,',' .' ' ';;~i';:: :< :':: '<. '; ,'.:'. '. Y'~'~~':;,:.' \r",,:.::~:."".>i.. ",.' -2- ~, '.- j . , 'c ''''~ I . ~.

Mr. Donald Alexander was asked to comment on any further developments' concerning his contact with the City Manaqer's office and City Commission for funds to hire a full-time landscape architect for all City area~ including parks areas already pur- chased by the city. The matter seems to have come to a standstill, though it is understood the City commission might be favorable to ~his funding. Members of the Committee agreed they were aware that Parks and Recreation Denartment does not have funds set aside for .. a landscape architect. It will take funds from the City Manager's office ,in all likelihood before the Edgewater Program can proceed. Mr. Tom Shepard had done preliminary plans during a time funds carne from Parks and Recreation and had been paid for his efforts to 'date. Mr. Kruse stated the point was to try to complete plans begun on the Edgewater Drive Project. ~~. Alexander stated he had been informed about a 'month ago that if landscape architect services were needed and the City Manager's of~ice could be con- vinced, funds might be obtained. No one had convinced them yet. It was concluded that immediately following the meeting, 'a . committee of three (Mr. Rogers, Mr. Kruse and Mr. Alexander) would 'go to City Hall to confer further on this matter and report back to the Co~~ittee'ne~t meeting. . Mrs. Stieneker reported she had contacted the Postmaster at the main center on Belcher concerning the rose beds and had been assured by him the beds would be restored. Mr. Rogers commended Mrs. Stieneker for her follow.through and in obtaining positive results. . Mr. Perc Powell presented to the Committee two proposals for discussion and ~:onsideration, typewri t.ten copies of which he turned over to ':he secretary for incorporating in the Committee Minutes. He thnn read the:o\ before the committee as follows: Proposal ~o~: l'It is my contenti:on when the City of Clearwater insti.gated curb collection of garbage to save money' it was detrimental to keeping our City attractive. "Seeing rows of garbag.e cans on our streets not only becomes an eyesore twice a week, but the fact the majority 9f garbage containers are not covered, garbage is also put in ordinary boxes ":. . ~ric6vered, branches and garden debris is piled up. The wind plays "::'.'havoc, causing an unsightly mess. l\forse still', dogs upset con- .t.ainers; this is not only unsightly, but unhealthy. (Continued) -3- . . , . .,'~, ".' ,.' "'.'!

IIProm a' physical point of view many of'our elderly retired people find carryin~ out containers a handicap. .' . "Therefore it is my proposal that we ask the City to revert back to our original metnod of collection to help keep our slogan of Sparkling Clearwater and to help our unemployment situation." Proposal No.2: "I would like to s~qg~st we award a plaque, trophy, or certificate for the most attractive home front garden at. the most appropriate time of year. ;~. "The City to be divided into district or zones, and the \~, .. . winner chosen from each district. -. '. UThree competent judges to be appointed. "Awards or trophies, etc. could be contributed by business fi.rms and the undersigned (Mr. Powell) would be pleased to contribute. p' lIThis proposal is now open for your suggestions or approval.1I Mr. Powell presented pictures supporting.these proposals. Chair.man.Rogers ascertained Mr. Powell had been .active in .1, matters pertaining to proposal No. 2 in Ctnada and asked Mr. Powell to head a committee to go into these proposals and report to the committee at the next meeting. Mr. Powell consented to do so. A brief discussion ensued concerning need for keeping the downt0\'1il areas cleaned up. l>1r,. Powell sUFPorted his evidence for the need of closer Sanitation Department follow up with pictorial evidence. . . Mr. Krame commented on shrubbery problems of private '. .:'. properties which obstruct traffic views and cause traffic hazards. ,.', ').' ," He had . witnessed an accident due to this 'at the southwest corner of ~~~;.:'r:..',:.:, "; '.."Myrtle and Grand central Streets.
