of a bottle bill for Florida [rom Jane Shaw of CAT (Citiz.ens Against Throwaways).
If the Committee supports the issue she will sign the resolution and return it
to Ms. Shaw. t-h-: BickerBl:affe moved that the Committee support the issue and
return the executed resolution. Mrs. Clark seconded the motion. Mr. Bickerstaffe
also suggested the Chairman write a letter to Senator Jeanne Malchon's office
stating the Committee supports her efforts to get a bottle bill for Florida.
This was done at the conclusi.on of the meeting.
At this time Mr. Wilson introduced Chuck Dray, the head of the Nursery
Division and the City's landscape architect. Mr. Dray informed members of various
City projects he has been working ou.
City.Hall Annex - This project was completed approximately a month ,ago. All
old bushes and grass were reMoved and replaced by low maintenance ground covers
and ,shrubbery. Little or no mowing or edging' is necessary. Also eight palm
trees and dwarf oleanders complete the landscaping.
Cleveland Street Hedinns - This project was coordinated with Downtown
Development. Hardy annuals, able to withstand automobile fumes and tra~fic
dirt were contributed by Downtown Development and the City Nursery crews planted
them. New trees were also planted.
Edgewater Drive Park - This small park at the north entrance to Clearwater
along Alternate 19 is in the planning stage. At present there arc no funds in
the budget for the park. It will be a passive park with a bicycle path and
open spaces. It may eventually be connected with Dunedin's park area along this
same route. t:
Plumb House - The Plumb House, a turn of the'century type home., was recent-
ly moved to E~ l~right Purk by the Clearwater His torieal Society. It is bei.ng
landscaped with a::; much native plant material as possible. flowering tree!.>,
ground cover and palmettos, etc., td recrente a [rontier home. The plan is to
'do the landscaping 'in phases, to get some trees established before putt:l.ng in
more plant material.
