#6 Old Business
a) Discussion on Size of Committee and Attracting New Mem'bers - Mr. Dunbar said he is
concerned about having two vacancies since 3 absences and a meeting result in lack of a
quorum. Options suggested by the City Clerk's office were either to ask the Commission
to reduce the number of members on the committee or consider merging the committee
with the Parks and Recreation Board. Mr. Dunbar said he favors downsizing the number of
mambors rather than merging since the two boards have distinctly different objectives.
Members discussed ways to recruit more members by makIng the committee more visible.'
These included placing items in newspapers and inserts in utility bills. Members
. unanimously favored continuing to meet at 8 a.m. .
b) Nominations for Beautification Awards - Member Hider suggested the new McDonald's on
Missouri'Avenue. Other suggestions were Walgreens, the Storage Place on North Myrtle
Avenue, and the new Home Depot on Gulf-ta-Bav Soulevard.
117 New Busineu - Responding to a request by Member Hider, Mr. Dunbar said members will be
given monthly Status of Capital Improvement Projects reports. At members' request, copies of
the City Code addressing beautification requirements also. will be given to members. '
