Program. He Indicated that someone from the Parks and Recreation Department will
perform that function and submit them to Chair Baldwin for his signature. It was noted
that the wording on each certificate may need to be altered according to the type of
recognition the award winners receive. Chair Baldwin will develop a form letter to be
sent to each winner along with the certificates. The member who nominates a property
for recognition is responsible for submission of the official name and address of the
business to this Board.
B. Anti~Utter Campaign
Discussion ensued regarding Member Blasko's letter to Chair Baldwin regarding
unnecessary litter on the streets of Clearwater, particularly the Welcome Center on
Route 60. It was suggested asking businesses to monitor the problem In their
respective areas, contacting local schools to have a design contest or campaign on how
to diminish the litter problem, placing more trash receptacles throughout the City, a
clean~up program which enlists the help of prisoners, and contacting other cities to
obtain information on how they deal with litter programs. Police officers are responsible
to enforce the litter laws but it is difficult to enforce them unless the person is seen '
littering. There are many organizations throughout the City that have adopted an area
and implement clean-up programs.
C. Gulf~to-Bay Beautification Program
r.:;)
"..
Mr. Roether reported that the palm trees for the Gulf-to~Bay
Beautification Program should be received on April 14, 1997, at which time the Parks
and Recreation Department will plant a load of palms a week for 6 weeks. The project
will begin on the south side of State Road 60 at Glenwood Avenue.
5. Staff Reports
No formal reports were given.
6. New Business
No new business was discussed.
It was remarked that the landscaping surrounding the sign on the Courtney
Campbell Causeway is rather sparse and needs more work. That area is one of the
gateways Into the City. It was suggested that larger plants be considered for that area
since there Is no Irrigation. Members remarked how beautiful the Memorial Causeway
is, and how it represents the tropical beauty representative of Florida. Mr. Kader noted
some of the surrounding area is in the DOTs (Department of Transportation)
Jurisdiction. The Parks and Recreation Department will investigate what other
alternatives can be incorporated Into the area to improve beautification efforts.
