NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD LANDSCAPING ADVISORY
TOWN OF GULF STREAM
JULY 1, 1992, 9:00 AM
TOWN HALL OF GULF STREAM
100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA
I. The Meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Jeanne
Breazeale at 9:00 AM. In attendance were Jeanne
Breazeale, Mary Windle, Kim Tiernan, and Scott
Harrington.
II. Review of the meeting of June 29th by Mary Windle.
Review of Jeanne's memo "Building a Case for Australian
Pine."
III. Discussion regarding Committee visits to the "Native
Plant Society" and the "Botanical Gardens" and other
fact-finding field trips. Jeanne questioned the
legality of such trips as a group. How would we be
affected by the "Sunshine Law?" It was determined that
no law would be broken as long as the trips were purely
for fact-finding purposes and no pertinent decisions
were made.
IV. Scott Harrington discusses tentative town budget for
1993. Last year's overall budget was $1,200,000. 45%
of this goes out in salaries to the town's 13 full-time
employees -- 10 of whom are police officers. Other
funds are directed toward building and road maintenance
as well new patrol cars. A tentative budget is being
formulated at this time and will be presented to the
Town Commissioners at a meeting being held on July 13th.
If NOBLAC wishes moneys to be set aside for the pruning
and care of the existing Australian Pine trees, we must
submit our monetary request at his meeting. This is a
legitimate expenditure of Public Tax money.
V. Mary Windle broaches the question of establishing a fund
for the trees. Should we hold fund raising events
and/or sales. Some ideas discussed were selling
souvenir holiday packets of kindling and mulch which
would be made out of the dead pines. Also suggested
were note cards of old Gulf Stream and the Australian
Pine canopy. Scott Harrington suggests speaking with
John Randolph as to how to handle donations and fund-
raising events, and how to set up a Tree Fund.
VI. It is noted that the only NOBLAC committee members who
will be available to attend the July 13th meeting of the
Commission at which the budget presentation will be made
are Jeanne and Mary. Mary motions that a sub -committee
be formed to plan and present NOBLAC's monetary
requests. This Finance Sub -Committee would consist of
Mary Windle and Jeanne Breazeale. Kim Tiernan seconds
the motion and it is passed unanimously. The first
meeting of the NOBLAC Finance subcommittee is set for
July 8th at 9:15 AM.
VII.Jeanne Breazeale adjourns the meeting.
Respectfully submitted:
Kimberly A. Tiernan
Secretary
