Therefore, the City will order the plant materials and concentrate on landscaping the south side of the Causeway first. Mr. wilson is hoping to begin planting on the Causeway by the end of October or first part of November. Mr. Lindner asked if the Tourist Development Council does not grant money to bury the power lines is there an alternate source which could be used? Mr. Wilson stated there are some Penny For Pinellas dollars that could possibly be used if the city Commission chooses to do so. " Mrs. Moore asked where the project will actually begin. Mr. Wilson reiterated that it will begin immediately past the Water Pollution Control Plant. It will then extend east to the County line. On the north side, the palm trees will not begin until right before the first bridge, past the Christian College, since this area is too narrow for planting. Mr. wilson stated that the construction will begin on the south side. P1um.b House Mr. Lindner reported that he had driven past the Plumb House property and it seemed to be fairly well planted. Mr. Wilson stated that quite a few trees had been planted around the house not long ago. Court street , Mr. Lindner asked what the status was concerning the court street: median. Mr. wilson stated that Mark Roether, Nursery Superintendent, is still working on the plans to be completed and submitted to DOT. Pinellas Trail Mr. Lindner stated that he had read in the newspaper that the contract for the Pinellas Trail had been awarded. Mr. Wilson stated he had spoken to Frank AiellO, County Engineer, who is the project engineer for this project. Mr. Aiello informed him that the, portion of trail to be constructed first will begin at Belleview Road south and Drew street north. In approximately three weeks, the contractor may begin on this portion of the trail and should be completed in seven months. The portion of trail concerning the city of Clearwater is the "on street" portion between Drew Street and Belleview. The County will also be funding this "on street" portion but it may not begin for another seven . months to a year per Frank Aiello. Mr. Wilson stated that at this time, the county is concentrating their efforts on the right-of-way portion of the trail. 2 ,""'~>' , ....'., L: ~~I ~,..,.. , ' '.:' '. ::.

Members discussed overgrown lots within the city per' the Code Enforcement Guide. Mr. Lindner stated that the worst eye sores are the abandoned business properties, such as the overgrown Morrison's Restaurant property on GUlf-to-Bay. Mr. Wilson suggested someone from the 'Committee may want to call the Code Enforcement Office'to report the Morrison's Restaurant property. Mr. Weller suggested that the Code Enforcement Guide list be given to all city employees, particularly the Sanitation Department. Mr. Lindner suggested that Water Department employees be given the list also. ,Mr. Weller stated that if it was made easier for these employees to report code violations, it would save a lot of time. ~ City Fix-A-Gram may be an idea which could be sent through the Interoffice Mail at the end of the employee'S work day. Mr. Resch suggested the Code Enforcement Guide list be placed in the newspaper to familiarize the public of the guidelines. Mr.' Lindner suggested the list may be sent out in resident's water bills'. Mr. Wilson suggested the committee may want to ask John Richter, Code Enforcement Manager, to attend the next meeting to discuss the Code Enforcement Guide list.
