CITY OF CLEARWATER
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MINUTES
June 2, 1982
The Beautification ComrnitteeJ in lieu of its regular monthly meeting
at the City Hall Annex, met at the City Nursery on June 2J 1982. A short meet-
ing was held, followed by a tour of the Nursery. Members present were Mr. D. C.
SnoyenbosJChairmanJ Mrs. Virginia Custer, Mrs. L. M. Clark. Mrs. Rita Canan.Mr.KrameJ
Miss Louise Keppie. Dr. David BerrYJ Dr. Jack N. Rothman and Mrs. Emma C.
Whitney were excused and Mrs. Ruth Hieneman was absent. Mr. Ream Wilson, Bob
. Marek, Acting Nursery Superintendent, and Eric', Seeger were also present. Eric
Falco. student member was excused.
The Chairman, called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Krame made
a motion to approve the Minutes of Hay 5J 1982, and Mrs. Virginia Custer
seconded the motionJ whicn passed.
Mr.Snoyenbos introduced the new member, Hr. Robert Aude. Mr. Aude
stated he was pleased to be present and has always been interested in City
activities. Mr. Aude, an architect and resident of Clearwater for 10 years, has,
'served on other advisory boards within. the City.

OLD'BUSlNESS
Hr.. Wilson reported on the status of the fountain at, Crest Lake Park.
Approximately 3 years ago the Parks and Recreation BO,ard met with the Chamber of
, 'Commerce Beautification Council. At that time the Council suggested a pt'ogram
whereby ,they would solicit private donors for material and equipment to install
the:fountainJ with the City maintaining the fountain and paying the operating
C08.~'. ,The Board supported the Council and a recommendation was made to the
City Commission. Based on the estimated energy cost of $5,134.00, the project
was not approved.
~ \
Mr. Wilson further stated that the City haG recently put into operation
two 'fountains. one at'Rruse Gardens at the Memorial Civic Center and one at City
Rail. The estLmated cost of operating the fountain at City Hall is $1,200.00 per
year.
, ~
Mr. Wilson then showed a drawing prevjously preBented by the Chamber of
Commerce Beautification Council of the proposed fountain for Crest takeJ which
would use miuUnum power and reduced lighting. Due to the budget constraints,
,Mr.' Wilson did not feel that City Commission ,,,ould favor the resto't'stion of the
fountain at Crest Lake at this time. The impact on the budget for restoration of
the' 'fountain would be considersb ly more than for the fountain at City Hall.

As an alternative) Mr. Wilson stated that during a previous discussion
with Mr. John Peddy, city's Energy Officers Mr. Peddy said that a fountain ouch
os this might be operated uoing solar power and a windmill. Mr. Peddy, at that
time. indicated that when technology becomes available, this might be a good
project. Presently the Energy Office is involved with Moccasin I.ake Park.
Mr. Wilson said that upon Mr. Peddy's return to work. he will speak to him as
to the possibility of using a windmill for the fountain at Crest Lake. If
possible, the operating cost would then be negligible and there would be just
the acquisition cost to look into.

Mr. Wilson went on to state that the attendance at Crest Lake has in~
creased immensely since the improvements there. Staff is presently looking into
a lake restoration project to reduce the amount of aquatic vegetation along the
shore line.

Bob Marek gave a brief description of the functions of the Nursery,
stating that:8 few years ago it was decided that it would be less expensive for
the City Nursery to grow its own plants rather than purchase them. Therefore.
the City Nursery presently grows 95% of its shrubbery and trees that are used
for landscaping City Properties.
Mr.~ Wilson explained that there are four different sections within the
Nursery: which 'are Landscaping. Irrigation. Chemical Pesticide and Tree Planting.
The Nursery supplying all landscaping material needed for all City buildings,
parks and medians.

" The group was shown several different shelt~rB built by the City for
the plants,' e.g. shade house, green house and shelter for indoor plants. Many
,of the indoor plants are placed in the different offices throughout the City.
The environmental plants are being prepared for Moccasin Lake Park, as they are
being obtained from different areBS. Moccasin Lake Park, upon completion. will
