William Weller city staff Present Mark Roether, Supt. of Parks & Recreation Dept. Meeting was called to order by Chairman Larry Lindner at 9:00 a.m. Old Business Approval of Minutes Mrs. Wyatt moved to approve the minutes of November 6, 1991. Mrs. Tretin seconded the motion. Court street Mark Roether, Nursery Superintendent, informed members that he is in the process of completing the landscape design plan for the Court street median 'to submit to the Department of Transportation. 'Mark stated he anticipates no problems in receiving DOT approval. The project will be scheduled as soon as the approval has' been received which will include new sod and planting trees on the median. courtney campbell Causeway Grant Mr. Roether updated members regarding tree planting on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Approximately (250) palm trees have been planted on the south side of the causeway and a total of over (300) trees will be planted upon completion. The city commission has approved funding for the power lines to be buried on the north side. The project will necessitate Florida Power installing the new electrical lines and removing the old power pol~s which should be complet~d by March of 1992. Palm tree planting can then ensue on the north side which will be more than what was originally planned since the DOT will be adding a new lane to each side of the bridge. Therefore, there will be no landscape improvements at the bridge and (109) palm trees will need to be installed in a different location until the construction is completed, ,(March 1993).

Mr. Lindner asked if the smaller plant materials are still going to be planted in March of 1992. Mr. Roether stated that there has been no change and that volunteers will be needed. ~rbo; Day/citv Flower Members each brought ideas for the adoption of a f lower or flowering tree and discussed at length. Mr. Lindner asked if the plant selection should be native to Florida and members agreed yes. Mr. Roether agreed that a native plant would be better equipped to endure the conditions of our Florida weather. Mr. Roether offered his support in suggesting that when looking into the adoption of a flower/tree/bush to establish important qualities such as; non- freezing, heat tolerant, drought tolerant, and graphically pleasing. Members suggested adopting a flower/tree/bush that homeowners could use in their landscaping attempts along with the cityrs landscaping efforts at various city owned properties in such a manner to enhance all properties. Mrs. Moss suggested adopting a flowering/tree that would be remembered by all who travel' through the city of Clearwater. Members suggested the hibiscus bush because it blooms all year round and requires little care whereby it can be used in all types of landscaping efforts. Mr. Roether stated that the city would have no problem installing the hibiscus bush in their landscaping efforts throughout the city. The oleander bush is also a hearty specimen but may not be easy to promote since in the past. it was considered a dangerous, poisonous bushi however, it has never been determined a poisonous bush and is used readily by the Department of Transportation. Mr. Lindner asked Mr. Roether what types of flowers the city Nursery uses in their landscaping efforts throughout Clearwater. Mr. Roether responded that he uses perennials such as; blue daze, heather, pentas, bush allamanda, downy jasmine, hawthorn, crape myrtle. Mr. Resch asked Mr. Roether from all the different species discussed, what type flower he would recommend using on the causeway? Mr. Roether responded he liked the cape honeysuckle which is presently in bloom at the Memorial civic Center. Mrs. Wyatt suggested' that the adoption of a City flower/tree/bush be tabled and placed on the next Committee Meeting' s agenda. Members asked Mrs. Moore to 'speak with the Clearwater Garden club to inquire what type plants they might 'consider adopting. ~, " , ':, I'; \ ,J,:., ,I. , , " ~, ,L.~ h :~ ~ ., ~~ ~ .

Please do not place signs in street rights of way.". The code Enforcement Office is planning to incorporate additional messages in the future to educate the public' on Code requirements.
