garding a mural that will be done on one of the buildings in the City.
The Committee enthusiastically endorsed the mural.
There is some progress being made on Edgewater Drive. The slow pace
'~s due to the availaBility of the equipment. The Electrical Department
.owns' the equipment and can only use it on Edgewater Drive when it iGn' t
:,ueeded for an emergency job. Mrs... Anderson attended the Edgewater Drive
A6sociat~on meeting at the Roberts Cafeteria, and the Mayor talked with
them and Andy Nicbolson showed slides of.Edgewater Drive beautification.
The redwood posts that the real estate board donated are installed
at the Shuffleboard Club. Mr. Rogers was instrumental in this project.
There ~s a need for five more posts installed at the same location
because people can still drive through and are tearing up the sod.
Mr. Morris inquired about a place to park 80 that people can take
pictures of the new sign denoting your arrival in Clearwater on Edgewater
Drive w~th the bay in the background.~ He was informed there will be no
stopping once the curbing is installed. Parking must be done along one
of the side streets.
Hr. Price inquired about the park next to tbe firehouse on Mandalay
Avenue having playground facilities. It was decided by the committee that
a recommendation would be made at the next meeting after the committee has
had a chance to consider the best suggestion.
Hrs_ Anderson moved the meeting be adjourned, second by Mr. Panush,
