It was decided to prepare earlier for this contest in the future years;
sending letters to businesses and mall owners in the City and also waiting
longer to judge the holiday decorations.
1993 Millage Rate Letter/G.Artman's suggestion:
It was decided to table Denny's millage letter, in favor of Gil Artman's
suggestion. The Public Works Director suggested to Jacobs and Adams that
monies collected for the City's Arbor Permit Fees be placed into a
cumulative BOWS Board fund, to be used for beautification projects. This
fund would be in addition to the monies that are already budgeted annually
for t;he BOWS Board, and which are not cumulative.

area from the Elementary School to S.R. 419, on S.R. 434 noting width,
suggestions for plantings, etc. Zahand will attempt to have Beautification
Week, April 18-24, mentioned in the Winter Springs Bulletin.

Arbor Day Contest:
Zahand suggested a children's essay contest on the subject of "trees".
Jacobs stated that Mayor Kulbes wants trees donated to the schools in
Winter Springs, similar to Governor Chiles' goal for Arbor Day. The Board
agreed upon one tree per grade; a total of 15 trees. Meta volunteered to
coordinate this effort. Stephens suggested awarding plaques to the schools
and he also suggested obtaining BOWS Board logo/emblem, and stationery.
FDOT Grants - Bicycle Path:
Meta stated that there are no plans for lighting on this path due to DOT's
conflict with Seminole County over maintenance of the lighting. The School
Board will be required to provide a traffic signal at the entrance road to
the Super Park, when the High School opens. Meta will contact FDOT
regarding the lighting situation.
Meta was told that two, 5 foot wide, sidewalks (bicycle paths) are in the
plans; one on each side of the road.
BOWS Funds:
r- Jacobs distributed instructions to the Board members which she had received
from Finance Director Martin regarding the allocation of BOWS funds.
Jacobs and Adams mentioned Public Work's Director Artman's desire to see
the BOWS Board involved in putting up a pavilion at the Super Park. They
were told by the Public Works Director that a pavilion, normally costing
approximately $2,000, could be made by him for approximately $200 (example:
pavilion located in the Ranchlands, on Tradewinds). Stephens suggested that
a plaque from the BOWS Board should accompany the pavilion. Jacobs
promised to contact Public Works Director Artman to obtain a price for such
a pavilion, in order to submit this figure to Finance Director Martin.
Zahand motioned to proceed with the arrangements to build a pavilion at the
Super Park, accompanied with a mounted plaque by the BOWS Board. Seconded
by Stephens. Vote: all aye. Motion carried.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
