BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
Wednesday, January a, 1986
The regular meeting of the Beautification Cornmdttee was held on Wednesday,
January 8, 1986, at 9:30 a.m. at the City Hall Annex. Members present were
Chairman Mikell St. Germain, Mr. Robert Bic:kerstaffe, Mrs. Rita Canan, Mr. Frank.
Krame, Mrs. Kathryn Peat, Mrs. Sally Nitka and Mrs. Emma Whitney. Mrs. L. M.
Clark was excused and Mrs. Ruth DuChateau was absent.
The Chairman called the meeting to order. Mrs. Peat said the last sentence
in the third paragraph was incorrect as both she and Mrs. Canan know Mrs. Frank
Kassel. Mr. Bickerstaffe made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected and it
was seconded by Mrs. Nitka and passed.
Chairman St. Germain said she wrote a letter to the Citizen's Against Throw-
aways (CAT) to request the latest information on the "bottle bill".
,The Chairman asked if members were able to dri ve by Ann and Ed's on North
Fort Harrison during the month. }tr. Bickerstaffe had done so and found there was
very little trash and debris lying around the parking area. He also said it
wasn't messy and didn't know where they would put much landscape materials unless
they used planters. Discussion followed and no action was taken in this regard.
Mr. Bickerstaffe said all shopping centers need some improvement and it is a good
thing to bring it to their attention. Mrs. Canan stated she gave a copy of the
letter from the Center Manager to the Island Estates Woman I s Club and to the
HomeOwners Association.
Chairman St. Germain read a letter she received from the city Manager. The
City Commission is requesting a list of the accomplishments of the Beautification
Committee during the past year. They are questioning the need of a separate
Committee and whether the functions of the Beautification Committee could be
assumed by the Parks and Recreation Board.
Various members expressed their opinions about the letter. Mrs. Canan said
she felt it a shame the effo=ts of the Committee were not appreciated. Mrs.
Whitney felt that if people are willing to volunteer their time the input should
'be appreciated. Mr. Bickerstaffe felt the commission should examine the Parks
and Recreation Board. He feels there are more Committees and Boards that take
up more time and that could be abolished.
Mr. Bickerstaffe said the parking lot on Drew Street which the Comrndttee
brought to the attention of the City Manager in a letter last fall will be paved
when the new parking garage is completed.
Other accomplishments mentioned by members are the reactivating of the water-
, fall across from the Court House, the study of mangroves on the shoreline, new
landscaping at the Main Library. the removal of a large pile of debris in the
NorXh Greenwood area, some improvement at the Collector's Cove, Permits with home-
owners associations and individual homeowners to plant and maintain medians in
their areas and the planting of trees on Island Way. Mrs. Peat ~tated she had
complained about the shrubs and trees at the Garage Annex and a short time later
, it was trimmed and cleaned.

Mrs. Peat expressed concern regarding the new parking lot on the east end
of the Causeway. Last weekend it was full and there were as many or more cars
parked illegally next to the lot on the grass.

The Chairman asked members if they had seen the holiday display for the
Artist-In-Residence program which was located on the triangle at the entrance to
Clearwater Beach. Generally, members' comments were favorable toward the display,
but were in agreement that the location was bad. It,was suggested by the Committee
that a more visible location would be the north side of State Road 60 at the
Bayfront just before crossing the bridge. Mrs. Canan made a motion to place the
display on the right at the entrance to the Causeway. Motion was seconded and
passed.
Update--
Mr. Wilson gave the Chairman the latest flyer he had received on the IIbottle
billll. Members will receive copies of the information with the Minutes when they
are mailed later ,this month. Mr. Wilson said there is a lot of support for the
bill, however lobbyists for the distributors are very powerful.
Various members expressed their concern to Mr. Wilson regarding the location
of the Artist-In-Residence holiday display. He suggested the Committee prepare
a letter with recommendations for next year. Further discussion followed re-
garding holiday decorations and Mrs. Whitney made a motion that a letter be
sent to the proper committee to restore the original Christmas card effect by
high schOOl students along the Causeway and also that lighting be restored along
the Causeway to give the effect of a row of Christmas trees. Mrs~ Nitka seconded
the motion. Discussion followed on the motion and Mr. Wilson suggested one mem-
ber of the committee talk to Keith CraWford, Traffic Engineering Director and
discuss Christmas decorations and Mrs. Whitney volunteered to do so.
Mr. Wilson told the Committee Maas Bros. is not responsible for maintenance
of theparking'lot as it is a City lot. He said the parking lot is an important
part of the Bayfront plan but that they are concentrating on Coachman Park at
the 'present time.
Mrs. Peat inquired about the cost of the small parking lot at the December
meeting and Mr. Wilson responded that it cost approximately $9,000 to $10,000
inclUding the landscaping.
Mrs. Nitka moved to adjourn the meeting and it was seconded by Mrs. Peat.
Meeting adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
