The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9:30 AM. He introduced a new ex-officio
member, Miss Donna Winkler, a student representative from Clearwater High School,
whom Mr. Shoemaker, City Manager, invited to join the Committee for as long as she
wishes.
The minutes of October I, 19~O we.re read and Mr. Siebentha1er stated that he had
, said "Emerald Zoysia" should have been used outside of the Arbor Office Building,
not that it had been used. Mr. Siebenthaler then made a motion to accept the minutes

NEW BUSINESS:
The Chairman introduced Mr. Bill Voght, who spoke to the Committee about the City
Nursery. Hr. Voght is the Nursery Superintendent. He showed slides and spoke on
~he general overall operation and. future plans of the Nursery Division of the Parks
and Recreation Department. One of the items Mr. Voght talked about was the estab-
lishment and implementation of the Street Tree Planting Program. Many residents
have taken advantage of this unique opportunity to enhance their property with
'. . Nursery grown trees which in turn enhances the beautification of Clearwater.
Mr.. Voght extended an invitat.ion to the Committee to come down to the Nursery and
take one of their group tours. The Chairman stated that we may have one of our
meetings there and go on the conducted tour. After some discussion, a proposal was
~de to have our next meeting of ' December 3rd at the Nursery commencing at 9:30 AM.

Residential Landscape Beautification Program - Mr. Siebenthaler read through the
report consisting of recommendations made by his sub-committee (copy attached).
Mr. Wilson stated that he had sent the proposal to the Ci.ty Manager and that the
project had been endorsed by him. It should be sent to the City Commission for
the~r approval along with the recommendations from the Committee.
Mr. Siebenthaler made a motion that the Committee go ahead with this beautification
program, seconded by Mrs. Heineman, carried unanimously.
Mr. Wilson suggested that, prior to February, members could get together and draft
a newspaper. article to be released and send it- to the Service and Information
Depart~ent at City Hall. When, Mrs. Heineman asked if individual mailings would be
.cost prohibitive, Mr. Wilson said that notices maybe put in with the utility bills
as stuffers. Mr. Martin felt that we would 'have to get the cooperation of the
homeowners who will be required to fill out applications but didn't think that we

would have. many applicants tbe. fix-at )'cs.r or so, He. asked if the. COJm1ittcc had
looked into selecting hn~CB as he felt that people. wontt fill out applications.
Hr, Snoyenbo~ said that the. Committee. could consider another category covering
aome other group nominating a house for consideration in addition to those submitted
by the owner. Mrs. Lundeen then noted t~at it docs not ssy that you have to be the
owner of the house.
Mr. Sieb'enthaler stated thBt the reason for the application form was 80 that they
.would have a pre-screening tool as there has to oe some sort of vehicle to keep the
Committee from having to go out and look at every property entered. When Mr. Snoyenbos
aaked Bill Voght' how tne'Clmmber of Commerce business program was run, he replied that
the members usually nominate the business to be considered. Mr, Wilson noted that
the business program 1s smaller and that there are many more houses. He said that
perhaps'the Committee needs to Bay that a neighbor or someone seeing a home can
enter ,it. Several members felt that the program may be slow for a year or two but
that everything will depend on the way .the program is presented and the publicity
it 1a given tel begin with. Further discussion ensued with Mr. Martin noting that
the true purpose of tbe plan should be determined before sending the proposal to the
City Manager. Mr. Snoyenb08 asked if the same Bub-commltt~e would refine the program
adding any' additional information needed. Mr. Wilson said that he would draft an
agenda item for the City Manager's consideration. The proposal may not require
official action by the City Commission but will be sent for their consideration.
. NEW BUSINESS:
Areas of Future Interest for ,the Beautification Committee.- Mr. Krame said that the
last time he was on the Couunittee, there was a fund of $11,000. or $12,000., to be
used for' the curbing on EdgeWater Drive. to be raised and the street to be repaved.
He stated that the stre~t had been fixed but that nothing had been done about the
curbing.
Mr'. Martin spoke of the. marina. on' the south side of Memorial Causeway. He said that
this co~,ttee, two years ago, went on record for developing the waterfront and down-
town area. Marina facilities at the old bait stand at Pierce Street had been pro-
p~sed because of ample parking and would 'cut traffic going across the Causeway.
Mr. Martin felt that,the committee should have Borne input and make some recommen-
'datlons to the 'City Commission. He said thst'the proposal had been approved in
August or September of 1978. Mr. Snoyenbos.asked Mr. Martin to find out what ,has
happened' to the proposal and to bring ill; the plans and review it at the next meeting.
. ..
There being no further business) the meeting was adjourned at 11 :05 AM.
