plant 5 trees on the medium. Parks & Recreation Director Art Kader said it will be
expensive to pipe the water necessary for flowers. The City will take aver maintenance of
the entire medium. In response to a suggestion to plant low growing plants, Mr. Roether

planned. Mr. Kader said it will take staff at least 6 months to accomplish the beautification
projects currently planned. The sign already is completed.

Shopping Center on US 19N. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

ITEM #5 - Staff Reports
Mr. Kader invited members to view a pilot project on Court Street, west of Missouri.
The display features 3 different systems to uplight the trees.
Mr. Kader said the Atrium Hotel on N. Ft. Harrison has been razed. He displayed a
, conceptual sketch of a park planned for the site. Motorists will be able to see through the
landscaping. No sidewalks or benches are planned. As the site is a large traffic triangle,
the City wants to discourage children from playing there due to safety concerns. The
landscaping will be irrigated and include several types of palms and colorful tropical plants
accented by evergreen trees. The City also will plant shade trees along the east side of
Myrtle. Should changes be made to the park in the future, the landscaping can be moved
and recycled. It was recommended down lighting may deter transients.
Mr. Kader said the reclaimed water project for Island Estates is complete. The City
will use reclaimed water at Jack Russell Stadium, Coachman Park, and the MemoriJl
Causeway medium. Staff also is considering the use of reclaimed water on the Memorial
Causeway rights-of-way. He estimated the City's use of reclaimed water will result in
significant savings. In response to a question regarding problems related to reclaimed
water, he said it spots cars and windows. Concern was expressed some residents who
don't want reclaimed water must pay for it anyway. Mr. Kader said the fee is minimal and
is much less expensive than fresh water.
