The correction was under Mr. Wood's comments On page three, which should

"presented in an acceptable manner." Mr. Wood made a motion to approve
the Board Minutes of January 25, 1982, as amended. Mr. steiner seconded
the motion, which passed.
Mrs. Schultz infoJ:l\\ed Board members that she had distributed copies
of the letter regarding the possible use of the Tourist Tax money for park
development to all County Commissioners, and she advised that she had an
opportunity to talk to two of the Commissioners. She said that
indications are that the County Commission will put a cap on tourist money
and that they will investigate to dete~ine what could leaglly be done
with any excess funds. She felt the County Commission was receptive to
the Parks and Recreation Board's recommendation. Further, Mrs. Schultz
recommended that the Board forward their recommendation regarding the
Touxist <<lax to the Clearwater City Commission to encourage them to macke
the same recommendati.on to the County. Also, she suggested that other
area parks and recreation boards be encouraged to make the same
recommendation. Mrs. McQuigg stated that she would prepare a letter to be

m~rs for all of their service and wished them the best of luck in the
futur,e. The first terms of Mrs. McQuigg and Mrs. Schultz also expire on
the same day but they'are eligible for re-appointment.
Mr. Wood suggested that a method of recognition be prepared so t~at
the Parks and Recreation Board could officially acknowledge and express
appreciation to outgoing Board members. He stated that he would draft a
certificate for consideration py the Board for the next meeting.

(Bandsholl-Cont.) Mr. Wilson stated that the City Comminsion
approved t\\O concept of an arch! tectural competition and that Mr. Frank
Mudano, Architect, will serve as the City's consultant in this respect.
Ms. Chris Papandreas, from tho Ci ty' s Planning Department, also attended
the moeting to add information regarding tho Bandshell project. She
mentioned that tho Bandshell Committee has been working with Mr. Mudano.
Mr. Wilson asked Board members for imput regarding the "Program.1I
Mrs. McQuigg asked about the topography of Coachman Park and Ms~
Papl1ndreo!lB responded that it is relatively flat, West of the bluff. Mrs.
McQuigg also inquired about rcstrooms being provided in the bands hell and
felt that restroom facilities at the library might be adequate. Mr.
Gilmore inquired about the adequacy of parking and Mrs. Schultz suggested
that parking spaces are adequate in the area. Mrs. Schultz said that the
bandshell'should be as unobtrusive as possible and constructed in a
vandal-proof manner so that it does not have to be locked up and so that
children will not have to be reprimanded for playing around the facility
when it is not in use. Members reiterated their desire that there be no
pennanent seating and suggested that restrooms at the library be used.
Mrs. Schultz asked if the Pinellas County Arts COuncil had any grants
available for projects of this type and Ms. Papandreas indicated that she
would look into this possibility. Mrs. McQuigg felt that restroom
traffic could interfere with perfonnances and that she was opposed to
restrooms ae a part of the bandshell. Mrs. Schultz also indicated her
opposition. Following discussion, the following recommendations were
offered:
, <
, ,
1. That the facility be as vandal-proof as possible.
2. That acoustical considerations be adopted.
3~ That natural materials be considered in construction.
4. That there be no permanent seating.
5. That no significant trees be removed and the bluff be saved.
6. There were mixed emotions about restroom provisions, but
feeling was that if they had to be provided, that they
be minimal.
7. That there be minimal topographical changes.
8. That the design be unobtrusive.

OVerall feeling was that the primary function of the bandshell is
to be a performing stage and not a restroom or storage facility. Members
discussed the above recommendations and Mrs~ McQuigg stated that she would
prepare a letter of recommendations to be forwarded to the Bandshell
Committee. Mr. Wilson said he would have the letter typed when Mrs.
Quigg had prepared it. He also said the City Commission would consider
the bandshell at their meeting of March 4.
