The meeting was called to order by Chair David Martens at 8:04 a.m. in the
Marina conference room, 25 Causeway Boulevard, Clearwater, Florida. In order to
provide continuity for research, the items will be listed in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in that order.
c,
1 . Marina Decorative Lamp Post!3
Assistant Harbormaster Mike Hancock noted the material for electric
decorative lamp posts for the main and east docks and the seawalls at the Marina is
expected to arrive by mid-February. The lamp post lights are photocell-controlled
lamps which will match the other lamp posts already at the Marina. Contract prices
are being reviewed for installation of new lights.
2. Tourist Information Center
There will be a kiosk erected in the Marina lobby, similar to the one at the
Clearwater Mall. The kiosk will provide information about the beaches, City
services and points of interest in Clearwater. Racks of brochures, a flashing
information sign, a money change machine tor parking meters, and a new A TM
machine are planned. The information center will not be staffed. Benches have
been placed in the lobby to accommodate those viewing television, weather
monitors and brochures.
3. Update of Fishing Pier at Clearwater Pass Bridg~
Mr. Held was not present at this meeting. Members agreed they had
previously decided to recommend construction of 3 fishing piers at Clearwater Pass.
This project will be discussed at the next meeting.

4. Other Busin~
The minutes of December 11, 1996 were approved as submitted in writing
to each member.
. The Pinellas County Commission met on December 10, 1996 regarding the
Magnolia Street dock reconstruction. The City will file for the building permit, which
will probably cause the opposition to file suits to block the process. It is anticipated
an appeal to the Pinellas County Commission's ruling will be filed by the January
10, 1997 deadline.
Mr. Hancock noted Pier 60 concession sales have dropped off slightly since
the grand opening, but over the holidays vendors' sales were good.
It was noted the fi>ted docks leading to the floating docks at the Seminole
launch Ramp are in the process of being replaced with a solid concrete structure.
Re-striping and re-paving should be complete by February of 1997. The Sailing
Center dock has been permitted as a permanent dock. Restrictions have been
. placed on the dock that no motorized vessels can be used other than for the
purpose of training, sailing classes and regattas.
':J
Questions were asked about the update on the proposed Memorial Causeway
Bridge. No new information has been dispersed to this Board, and members would
like to be kept informed.
Discussion has taken place throughout the City with various groups regarding
the proposed new library. One of the groups with which Chair Martens participated
suggested putting books onto computer disks to reduce the amount of space
required for the library. Another member noted a suggestion was made to
incorporate the proposed library into the Harborview Center.
The shoreline of Clearwater is mainly private property which greatly limits the
addition of launching facilities throughout the City. It was noted the west end of
the Courtney Campbell Causeway is too sharlow, the waterfront from Harborview
north is private property, and Stevenson's Creek is too shallow. Parking
considerations must also be addressed when planning launching facilities. It was
suggested members drive past the 'sland Estates area and the waterfront are north
of the Harborview Center to determine the possibility of adding launching facilities.
The meeting adjourned at 8:25 a.m.
