4. Causeway Tree Planting, Mr. Wilson reported he had met with Milt Turnburke
of DOT. The Parks and Recreation Department is not in a position to send mowers out
to the Causeway so the palms we propose to plant will have to be spaced to allow the
State to mow between the palms. If we do this the Agreement will probably be approved
and the project will go forward to the City Commission for consideration.
5. Pelican Airways Landing Site. As Mrs. Canan was ill and not in attendance
we will have the report at our next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
1'. St. Petersburg Award Program. We will hear more about this at our January
meeting.
2. Chamber of Commerce Beautification Program. Mr. Aude said he did not think
the Chamberts Beautification program would conflict with the kind of program Mr.
Follett presented at the last meeting. The Chamber does have a Beautification
Council made up of Chamber members interested in beautification. It is a two step
program. They offer quarterly awards to various businesses, then each of the quar-
terly awards are saved up for an annual award made in December. The awards for
. 1982 will be released on December 21. These awards are given to businesses within
the. city limits of Clearwater. The eligibility and submission procedure for awards
is done by soliciting entries worthy of recognition, by letter or photograph;
Council'members visit the entries, make recommendations and take a vote. A short
discussion followed. The Committee agreed that the Chamber's program is less'for-
mal. and structured than the project the Committee is considering. The Chairman
thanked Mr4. Aude for his thorough report.
Mr 4' 'Snoyenbos then read a letter he had written to Chief of Police Sidney
Klein going on record as, supporting the Anti-Litter Ordinance in the City of Clear-
w.ater.' . In six 11IOnths, discus sion will be opened on the subj ect to see if there is
, -anyimprovemen t,
I . '
The.Chairman then asked for suggestions from the Committee and Mrs. Clark said
the unattractive palm tree was still in front of the sculpture for which the city
paid '$l~OO. Miss Keppie:h~d a brochure from the Audubon Society on wild flower
se'eds. which they have for sale.
Mr. Wilson explained the Adopt-A-Park program from Cali.fornia to the Committee
Whereby a business enters into an agreement with the City to pay for maintaining a
city park. They in turn would be recognized by a sign in the park, This method
of'mairitaining parks'is very successful in California since proposition 13. Mr.
Aude aSked..if the am::>unt paid by a business to adopt a park would be tax deductible
which.would be another advantage to the program. Mr. Wilson said they they are
. seriously looking into this program.
There being no further business before the committee, a motion was made and
seconded to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 10:50.
