After listening to the tapes of the 12/17 meeting, they did not reflect these changes and in checking with the City Clerk, we must reflect what is actually said at each meeting, not what anyone wishes was said, and there must be a substantial change, not just a slight variation in interpretation. Therefore, the 1/6/97 minutes should be approved with the elimination of those three notations. MOTION by Donini/Reid I move that we accept the minutes of December 17, as written. A voice vote was taken. 3 - 0 motion carried. MOTION by Donini/Dabrowski I move that the January 6th minutes, as amended, be approved. A voice vote was taken. 3 - 0 motion carried.

STREET LIGHTING RECOMMENDATION ON STYLE Mr. Massarelli gave staff presentation and spoke of the bollard style lighting for Indian River Drive. He noted that the original budget was for a bollard style fixture, approximately 42" high and it shines down and illuminates the sidewalk and ground area. Be he also noted that we are not CITIZEN ADVISORY TASK FORCE MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1997 limited to that style, and he plans to have two lighting representatives at the next meeting with samples. He then commented that the Riverfront Committee has reviewed this, and they are recommending to this Task Force that we do a mixture of pole lighting and bollard lighting. A suggestion was pole lighting for the Riverview Park area up to the Yacht Club; bollard lighting from the Yacht Club up to the Main Street boat ramp; pole lights from Main Street to approximately Oyster Bay Resort; and bollard lighting from Oyster Bay Resort north. Mr. Massarelli also noted the importance of the style that is chosen for indian River Drive by this Task Force, as it will set the standard for the other accessories that are used in the riverfront, both by the City and by private businesses. He showed the choice made by the Riverfront Committee, and noted how many choices there are, as indicated in the catalogs in each members packet. Vice Chmn. Dabrowski inquired about the present FPL lights and what was planned for them. Mr. Massarelli commented that at present, staff is recommending that these lights remain as they are, for security purposes. He also noted that these FPL lights are on the west side of Indian River Drive, and the proposed lighting through the Grant will be placed on the east side. Mr. Reid suggested that the lights be as vandal proof as possible, and the bulbs be easy to replace and the fixtures should be low maintenance. Mr. Massarelli commented that all these factors shall be considered when the specifications are written up. Mr. Massarelli noted that new member nominations will go to the City Council on May 14th; the next regular CATF meeting is on May 27th and will include lighting presentations by two Companies who will also bring samples of their products. In response to a question from Mr. Donmi about the time line of the CDBGrant, he responded that the money in this Grant must be used completely before any other Grant can be applied for. He commented that hopefully, with a full Board, activity can be speeded up. Mr. Donini made the suggestion that the CATF Board and the Riverfront Committee might have a joint meeting to save time on certain issues relating to both. Mr. Massarelli noted that the Riverfront Committee will be winding down very soon. PUBLIC INPUT: Ms. Dierkes asked to see a picture of the bollard light recommended by the Riverfront Committee. Mr. Neuberger, from experience, cautioned against aluminum fixtures, and recommended fiberglass. CHAIRMAN'S MATTERS: Vice Chmn.
