There was some discussion of the city's budget meetings. Mr. Morris stated that the city
is trying to create a direction and image for the city to show what's great about Clearwater.
, This involves looking at better ways to manage distinct areas in the city and maybe putting one
department in charge instead of 3 or 4 as such is the case with the beach. This management
direction is called "Strategies for Success" and involves looking ahead over 5t 10 and 15 years
and will be part of One City. One Future.
Mr. Wilhelm stated that maybe the board could help with the Sailing Centert in regards
to financing and promotion. A suggestion was made to invite Gary Brumbeck to a meeting to
discuss the sailtng center. Perhaps raise fees to make the center more self-supporting 1 Bellair
Yacht Club charges $1001 month to store boats and for use of center. Mr. Morris is also looking
to start a high school salling team with local high schools.
An issue regarding para~sallers and seagrass was raised. Slgnage should be posted to
warn them and Mr. Morris is working with Legal to be able to post signage around the beds.

Mr. Morris searched the Internet for Information on seagrass beds and discovered that
one of the country's experts on seagrass teaches at Hlllsborough College. He works with a
farmer In Ruskin on a seagrass-replenlshlng program with ptnellas County. Mr. Morris would
like to post some sign age on buoys to educate boaters. Regarding parasail operations the
answe'r might be to try to limit the number of operations within the city limits. This would mean
capping the existing number of operations and through attrition cut down on the Itmit allowed.
The marina does not have a limit on any aT the existing types of businesses that are located at
the docks.
, 'Mr. Morris was asked to look into posting a day marker on the sandbar between the fuel
dock and Clearwater Point tip. The intersection is confusing to boaters. they are missing"the
turn and end up aground on the bar.
The members would like to send a letter to Mr. Martens, thanking him for his years of
service on the Marine Advisory Board.
