C. City Theme Proj~ - Mr. Wilson said the project to line Gulf to Bay
with Washingtonian palm trees would be submitted in the 1996/97 Capital
Improvement Project. He said if it stays in the budget and can be funded
then it would become a viable project for after October 1.
Ms. Pullar said it would be nice to have potted plants (hibiscus) in
places where there is not room for palms. She suggested it would be nice
to do this and to get the owners involved as well. Ms. Cole added that
it would be a nice project if all the pots were uniform.
Mr. Baldwin asked what he thought what else could be done with the City
Theme Project. Mr. Wilson said the other thing that came up was the
banner on the streetlight being such an impact. Mr. Wilson said there
was not a lot of maintenance except the change out every couple of
months. Ms. Cole said the Beach Association had looked into getting them
on the beach but the initial cost as about $85.00 per light to install
the brackets. Mr. Wilson said once you get past the initial cost there
is not too much cost.
f ;;~:I.\
t:;'"
Ms. Cole said there was no reason not to have the hibiscus logo on each
banner. Mr. Baldwin asked if the Conunittee was to pursue the banner
project would the City budget money with Traffic to maintain and change
out the banners. Mr. Wilson said if the Conunittee wanted to back this
.project the a recommendation should go the City Commission. Mr. Baldwin
said he would write a memo to the City Manager for the Beautification
Committee recommending the banner program. Mr. Wilson said CRA and
Clearwater Festivals had bought some of the banners and that they are
reusable from year to year. Mr. Wilson said Terry Schmidt was going to be
meeting with the new Tourism Director soon. Ms. pullar suggested the
Committee invite the new Tourism Director to a meeting so she can get an
idea of what the Committee is doing.
Mr. Baldwin said he would write a memo to Betty Deptula, City Manager,
stating that the Committee recommends the banner program in as many areas
of the City as possible.
D. Staff Reports - Mr. Wilson said the Pinellas Trail was closer to being
approved to go through Clearwater as both the City Attorney and city
Engineer were going up to Tallahassee with the County Attorney and County
Engineer to meet on the subject. He said CSX had moved the easement 6"
to help along with the project.

A. Summer Meetings - Mr. Baldwin said Ms. Gardner had made a suggestion

City Clerk's office to see if this can happen and get back with the
Committee in June. Ms. Pullar said she would recommend to meet throughout

would be a good idea to take one month off.
