Mr. Wilson introduced Mr. Lou Hilton from the City's Planning Department and stated that Mr. Hilton had been working with the Historical society regarding the relocation of the Plumb House. Dr. Raymond Center was present and represented the Historical Society 'and two representatives were present from the Clearwater Housing service. Mr. Wilson explained that a lease or licensing agreement is presently being pre- pared in the city's Legal Department Which, when completed, would go before the ',:City COJIlIlission for final approval. Members were shown a site plan of the location of the building which situated the Plumb House in the center of the finger at Ed ,Wright Park. Mrs. Schultz inquired as to the possibility of locating the house off center to allow room in the event future it~ns of a historical nature might be , placed on the site. Mr. Hilton explained that there are no current plans to add .additional items. Dr. Center stated that the Society hadn't thought about future installations but that the idea of locating the house off center might be good in ,the event expansion does take place. Mr. Wood inquired as to how many visitors would visit the house and Mr. Wilson stated that an estimate would be difficult in that we currently have no similar facilities. Mr. Fuchs asked if the house could be located at Heritage Park. Representatives stated that it would be too expensive to move the house to that location. Members discussed the fact that they had approved,the relocation of the Plumb House to Ed Wright Park at their previous meeting based on three conditions which were: :..., I ~l' .

Park Dedication Ordinances--Mr. Wilson informed members that tho City Com- mission approved the new ordinances relating to the dedication of parkland or money in lieu thereof at their regular meeting of July 7th, 1983. Mrs. Schult~ informed members of three items that she felt important as they relate to the ordinances. First, she felt that interest generated from funds resulting from the ordinances should be kept in the trust funds for use in the development or acquisition of parkland. This item was discussed briefly at the City Commission meeting and Mr. Tom Bustin, city Attorney, indicated that this would be the case. Second, she felt tha~ a sunset provision should be included in the ordinance in that the Downtown Development District might be required to meet parkland dedication requirements in the future rather than being exempt indefinitely. This provision was included in the ordinances. Third, she expressed a desire that public hearings be held in the event money collected from a development night be used outside of the one mile or one and one-half mile radiuses. Currently, expenditures of funds outside of the areas would be sent to the City commission by agenda item and not as public hear- ing. She felt that people within the area should be aware when monies are being expended outside of their district. Mr. Wilson stated that he would check with the City Attorney and the Finance Department relatiVe to interest staying in the funds. Gift catal09--Mr. Wilson distributed draft copies of a gift catalog that might be used by the Parks and Recreation Department. Members reviewed the'catalog and indicated that it was a substantial improvement over the original draft. Mrs. Schultz made a motion to approve the concept of the catalog and the motion was seconded by Mr. Fincher. Motion passed. Mr. Wilson stated that the draft would be dressed up and possibly sent to the City Commission for final approval prior to printing. Mr. Chris Cowles--At Board members' request, Mr. Cowles was the first Division , Head to attend a meeting to discuss the operations of his division. Mr. Cowles outlined the organization of the Nursery/Forestry Division on the blackboard and ex- plained the responsibilities of the various sections. He indicated that a land- scape architect will soon be hired along with a tree inspector. These two employees will assist substantiallY in the enforcement of the City's tree ordinance and beautification ordinance. Mr. Wilson stated that the reorganization and combina- tion of the Nursery and Forestry Divisions resulted in a savings to the city of one position which was deleted. Specifically, this was a Foreman II position. Mr. Cowles further explained the,responslbilities of the supervisors with the Nursery/ Forestry Division including the Nursery Landscape operation, the Chemical Spray oper- ation, the Forestry operations and the maintenance and installation of irrigation systems. Mr. Cowles also showed slides of various activities and equipment within the division. Board members asked numerous questions of Mr. Cowles and considerable discussion ensued. Members e~ressed their appreciation to Mr. Cowles and felt that his visit was most educational. Reseonse to Board Members' Comments--Mr. Wilson reported that the irrigation system has been investigated at McKay Athletic Field and that the area had been ferti- ilized. He also stated that the dirt mounds located at the Clearwater Beach Recreation Complex wil:!, be studied as to the possible use of beach type vegetation. For example, sea oats, vines, etc. He also informed Board members that the request received from citizens in east Clearwater for an indoor recreation facility has been forwarded -2- " ' ...~~' , " , .. r ~.1 f }.") . ~,~ " I .. \ . . ., . \ .

Residents from tho area will quite possibly promote this project at budget hearings. 1983/84 Budget Hearinss--Mr. Wilson informed members that the City Commission will'be holding public hearings on the 1983/84 budgets on SePtember 1st and on September 15th at 6:30 p.m. He stated that members might wDnt to attend these hearings to speak to items of interest. Comments from Board Mernbers--Mrs. Morgan stated that she had enjoyed the ~re- sentation of Mr. Cowles and felt that it was educational. Dr. MacNutt expressed his appreciation to Mr. Cowles and also indicated that he had played Glen Oaks Golf course and felt that it was in poor condition. Mr. Wilson confirmed that additional improvement is needed on the front nine greens, but that they are in better condition than they were this time last year. Several bare spots exist on several of the front nine greens but work is progressing to restore some of the grass in the areas. Mr. Ford stated that he enjoyed Mr. Cowles presentation and informed Mr. Wilson that the parking lot at Jack Russell Stadium needed mowing for soccer activities. Mr. Wilson stated that he would look into this. Mr. Wood expressed his appreciation to Mr. Cowles and felt that the information presented was useful. Mr. Fuchs also expressed his appreciation to Mr. Cowles' presentation and asked that a letter be sent to him from the Board. Mr. Fuchs also informed ,Mr. Wilson that numerous lights were out at Frank Tack Park and that they need re- pair. He felt that danger hazards could exist by poor lighting. Mr. Wilson in- dicated that the lights at Frank Tack Park and Carpenter Field are quartz type that they are scheduled to be replaced by metal halide. However, a report will be submitted to the electrician to replace the quartz lights that are burned out until such time as they are replaced by the metal halide lamps. Mr. Fincher had no comment. Mrs. Schultz inquired about the 2S~ charge for the tennis court light meters at the Clearwater Beach Recreation Complex tennis courts. She felt that if free lights are provided at o~er tennis courts about the City that this should .a~so be~the case on the Beach. Mr. Wilson stated that he would look into this and that due to vandalism, etc. the 259 charges have not been worthwhile. Also, Mrs. Schultz stated that a new Principal has been appointed at St. Cecelia School and felt that the joint use agreement between the school and the City might be rein- ,) stituted. Further, Mrs. Schultz expressed concern about a subsidy for Glen Oaks Golf Course not being included in the budget manual for 1983/84. She felt that if a subsidy is needed, it should be included and budgeted so that an increase or amend- ment would not be necessary. She felt that by excluding the subsidy, the City was presupposing the course being leased to the Chi Chi Rodriguez Foundation. Members discussed the possibility of the Chi Chi ROdriquez Foundation assuming the operation of Glen Oaks Golf Course and indicated their desire for more information regarding the proposal. Mr. Wilson stated that he had drafted a proposed lease between the City and the Foundation and that the Foundation is currently working on the lease. The lease would cover all items relating to the responsibilities of the Foundation and th,~ City. Mr. Wilson indicated that members of the Foundation would probably be happy to attend a Board meeting to e~lain their Foundation and their proposal for Glen Oaks. Members discussed this matter and asked that representatives from the Chi Chi Rodriguez Foundation be invited to a Board meeting and that the Board meeting be set for Monday, August 8th. This meeting will take the place of the -3- , , hi,' " ,j 'c ':" :\;.~~~~~~~',':~: . t. ':.$ :;: ,'. " 't' .1 ;,:;~/ . ,'. ..<., . ~:.
