Mr. Dunbar said he and Mr. Art Kader met with the Director of Pinellas County Parks regarding
possible money from the county to pay costs of providing recreation programs to residents of
Pinellas unincorporated areas. Mr. Dunbar stressed the City's non.resident participation fees
would rise significantly without county funding. Recommended is a plan similar to the fire fee
wherein the City would collect a percentage of the county budget. The issue appears in the
Master Plan under Financing the Plan, and Pennies for Pinellas.

In response to 8 question by member Hider regarding how downtown development would affect.
,t,ha Master Plan~ Mr. Dunbar said any changes to Coachman Park'and the bayfrontwould be an
, issue. Another issue is to have a park for the downtown community..
Member Hammack suggested recording accomplishments as the Master Plan progresses.
5. Old Business
a) Nominations for Beautification Awards -
Member Blakemore nominated Peoples Bank to receive a Certificate of Appreciation for its
beautification efforts. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Mr. Dunbar said the manager of Kmart was unwilling to accept his award at a City Commission
meeting. Members decided to mail the award. In response to a question by Mr. Brown concerning
beautification requirements in the City Code, Mr. Chin said code calls for 1- or 2-inch in diameter
trees, and one hedge on the property.
6. New Business -
Mr. Dunbar apologized for not attending the advisory board recognition dinner; he attended an
FRPA meeting in Pasco County that evening.
"R~
~\,,'!,
t,~~II~!':
Mr. Dunbar said the staff is recommending to commence operations of a recreation center at St.
Petersburg Junior College field house site by Octobor 1. In response to a question from Member
Hammac regarding the chain link fence, Mr. Dunbar said the fence was to protect students and
will be removed when the City takes over the property. In response to a Question from member
Blakemore regarding plans for a skate park, Mr. Dunbar said existing tennis courts would be the
skate park site. SPJC's baseball office will remain in the field house. The final draft of the
business plan for SPJC is s'cheduled to go before the City Commission on April 20. Parks and
Recreation is committed to operate the facility without requesting additional ad valorem tax
dollars. .
Member Hammac asked about progress toward beautification of Gulf~to.Bay Boulevard. Mr.
Dunbar said the City is working with billboard companies to remove signs. As for power lines, the
cost would be prohibitive to bury power lines; placing lines behind businesses that front Gulf-to-
Bay is being explored. Part of the Glen Oaks negotiation requires the golf course to enhance
landscaping at Court Street and make it comparable with medians. Mr. Dunbar said the City
Commission voted against painting a mural at U.S. 19.
7. Adiournment - The meeting adjourned at 9: 14 8.m, The next meeting will be April 5, 2000.
