January S, 19B3
The Beautification Committee held its regular monthly meeting at the Parks and

in attendance until 10 a.m.
The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. by the Chairman. As Mr. Wilson
had to leave. Mr. Snoyenbos invited him to make his comments at the start of the
meeting. He stated an article appeared in the Clearwater Times of January 5, 1983.
to the effect that the City Commission will request that the state legislature
sponsor a bottle bill similar to the one enacted in Oregon. Also, the bottle
brush tree which was recommended by the Beautification Committee in a letter to the
City Manager from Mr. Snoyenbos ~ill be an agenda item at the next City Commission
meeting.

For the Committee1s information, Mr. Wilson brought them up-to-date on admin-
istrative changes in the Parks and Recreation Department. Originally the Forestry
Department was under Parks and Recreation and was moved to the Public Works Depart-
ment. 'Now Forestry is back under Parks and Recreation and the ne~ City Forester is
Chris Cowles. who formerly was the Land Resource Specialist. As City Forester, Mr.
Cowles will be supervising our tree operations and running our tree program. We
may want to ask Mr. Cowles and Bob Marek, Nursery Superintendent, to attend our
meetings as a matter of ~orking together with us.
~).:. '
Mr.' Wilson also stated that the Cleveland Street Beautification project has
begun,with the planting of one tree. When the project is complete there will be
12 trees, benches, etc.
A motion was made to approve the Minutes of December 1, 1982. Motion was
seconded and approved.

At this time Mr. Richard Follett from St. Petersburg Award Program, who had
~ given us a brief description of the program two months ago, was welcomed to the
meeting. Mr. Follett distributed an organizational chart to illustrate haw the
program works. First the Committee decides the categories for judging and solicit
between five to ten deserving entries in each category. Photographs are then brought
to a Beauti,flcation Committee meeting and screened by the Committee. These are
narrowed down to three top choices in each category. Then a letter is sent to the
three top applicants in each category telling of their initial recognition and
selection. A jury is selected composed of one architect or planner, one landscape
architect. one,horticulturist and two lay people. The jury then inspects and judges
the three applicants in each category. Mr. Follett also distributed an evaluation
form to be used in rating the selections. A simple plaque or certificate is given
,at a banquet or something less costly as a morning meeting with coffee and rolls.
A discussion fo11o~ed on various aspects of this program. The cost of the St.
Petersburg program is approximately $500 annually. It was also suggested that an
,article be placed in the newspaper for publicity on the ,proj-;lct and suggesting
entries, from' the citizenry in addition to the entries nominated from mn~bers of the
Committee. ' More discussion followed on whether or not the Committee~as willing

to make the effort and go ahead with this program. Mrs. Canan made the motion that
we consider thin program and it was seconded. As a quorum was not present at the
meeting a final decision could not be made. At this time the Chairman thanked Mr.
Follett for coming to the meeting and explaining the program in such detail. Mr.
Follett offered his assistance to the Committee at any time.

Mrs. Canan reported that the City did not feel they were the ones to address
the noise problem with Pelican Airlines, that it was up to the Coast Guard or the
FAA. She 'has spoken with them and they will keep her informed of any new developments.

At this time the secretary read the letter Mr. Snoyenbos wrote to Chief of
~olice Klein,Chief Klein's reply, and the letter to Anthony Shoemaker regarding
the official flowering tree for Clearwater.
Mr. Snoyenbo8 then asked Committee members for comments or suggestions. Mrs.
Clark' still feels the palm tree is obstructing the outdoor sculpture. A Committee
member reported that the old palm tree had been removed and a new one planted in
, its place and also that the sculpture will be moved to a new location.
