He indicated the roundabout design has been moved to the east to provide % acre for a proposed interactive children's fountain that will improve the pier's family atmosphere. Seating will provide a place to watch sunsets. The City Manager estimated vehicles will average 20 mph through the roundabout due to traffic calming features. The 15~foot sidewalk with seating areas planned for Coronado Drive will attract visitors. Current plans are to mark the entrance to the beach with a monolith and sails.

Staff is considering stone designs to highlight nearby crosswalks. According to plans, the interior portion of the entryway will be completed by mid- summer. Ingress and egress to businesses and roads will be maintained throughout construction. During the project, a staff member will be on call 24 hours a day. To guarantee project completion by December 1999, two crews will work on the road's construction 16-hours a day and 6.days a week. Walkovers, previously proposed, have been removed from the roundabout's design due to the low traffic count and the reality that people will cross the street instead of using the walkovers. A signalized crosswalk is planned south of the roundabout. The cost of the project with revised plans will not exceed $1 Q-million.

Other related activities are planned City-wide. To cover City cash and in-kind service expenses, Clearwater will receive ticket receipts, sponsor funds, food & beverage' sales, and exhibitor fees to reimburse allocated Vision Funds. The Junior league will provide volunteers to service the concerts, cover costs 'associated with beer and wine sales for the Hootie & the Blowfish concert, and retain sales proceeds to fund the organization's community service programs. Time Warner Communications' contribution of cash and all concert marketing efforts to include print, radio, and television is valued at more than $300,000. While promoting outdoor events exposes the City to an element of risk, staff feels budget projections can be met and sufficient revenues generated to cover all City costs and services. Net revenue to be split between the City and Junior league will not exceed the total amount of sponsorships the Junior league generates. Along with relatp.d activities, the concerts will provide visitors opportunities to experience Clearwater.

Pruitt, Inc., $185,645.90 (PW) The City approved a JPA (Joint Project Agreement) with FOOT (Florida Department of Transportation) to construct Medium Intensity Runway Lights and Low Intensity Taxiway Lights at the Airpark. The JPA authorized the lighting system on a 50/50 cost sharing basis. The City pays the upfront cost of the project and is reimbursed by FOOT upon completion of construction. The project budget was estimated to be $100,000. . FDOT has approved the project and is amending the existing JPA to include additional FDOT funding for a true 50/50 split of the $185,645.90 construction costs. This project includes the design and installation of fixed medium intensity runway lights and fixed low intensity taxiway lights and the installation of a radio controlled switch capable of activating the lighting system by a standard VHF aircraft transmitter. This airport lighting system will encourage more business aircraft to use the airpark and will provide safer air operations during inclement weather and when seasonal daylight is minimal. Installation of the lighting system is part of the airpark's 5-year plan. Public Works Administrator Rich Baier said the upgrades will improve airpark safety. Harbormaster Bill Morris said remote activation of the lighting system can be overridden at night.
