and passed.
The Chairman asked for the report from Mrs. Whitney on holiday decorations for
the Causeway. Mrs. Whitney and Mr. Bickerstaffe met several times at the Causeway
and developed ideas and suggestions which are outlined in the attached letter to the
City Commission. Briefly, they recommend a scroll design in light blue and silver
with miniature lights on the Causeway palms and in the newly landscaped Triangle in
front of Howard Johnson's Restaurant.
The Chairman asked for comments from members. Mr. Knox asked if there were any
photos of the scroll design. He also said the idea of flowers year round on the
Causeway was good.
Mrs. DuChateau was concerned about the art work and felt it would entail much
'/ work on the part of the Committee. She also suggested the Christmas card suggestion
, be placed at,the end of the letter.

Terry Finch and Alan Mayberry joined the meeting for a short while. Terry
Finch said she would like the Committee to let the Environmental Section do the
follow-up work on reinspections of shopping centers for maintenance neglect. The
Committee would like to see the shopping center at Gulf-to-Bay and Duncan Avenue
improved. Mr. Mayberry stated that the original plan included about eighty trees
and shrubs which were not maintained and died. He feels that area is a good one
to work,on as they have the plans for it. A new shopping center called Campus
Walk on Drew near US 19 will soon be ready for occupancy and Mr. Mayberry suggested
members meet him'there and he would show them around and point out what to look for.
Discussion followed and Mr. Mayberry said he would contact members a week before he
makes the reinspection of the site.

inform members to meet at Campus Walk. It was seconded by Mr'. Bickerstaffe and

Update from Mr. Wilson~-
Mr. Wilson said budget hearings are being held now for next year. A bond
issue (PRIM - Parks and Recreation Improvement Millage) may be presented to residents
by a ,referendum. The monies would be used for various park improvements including
renovation of the Bayfront Tennis Complex and Memorial Parks. The Chairman suggested
that the tennis court modification be tied to the improvement of Memorial Causeway
which would be paid for from general funds rather then depending on a tax raise.
Mike Mulligan, Landscape Architect, joined the meeting and showed members a
drawing of a typical median along the Causeway. Median ends would be landscaped
heavily with colorful flowers and different varieties of trees and shrubs would also
be planted in each median. Mr. Mulligan said he would not begin the Causeway land-
scaping until after October 1, which is the new budget year.
.'
, ,
" Mr. Mulligan also displayed a drawing of improvements to be made at Mandalay
Park. : This will be a natural beach type park with a small grass area in the middle
, ,with a gazebo.
Ms. Lanza asked about the Street Tree Program and Mr. Mulligan explained' that
:there is a'moratorium on street trees because they are not large enough. He said
,they:would be resuming the program by, September 1st. Ms. ,Lanza also asked if' the
Committee would donate a tree to the new ,YWCA playground. Mr. Wilson responded ,that
the:Department would donate a tree but that the Y would have to arrange to pick'it
up and plane' it.
,\
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made, by Mr. Bickerstaffe and seconded by
: Mrs: Whitney." The meeting 'adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
