The meeting was called to order by Chairperson June Morris, at 7:40 p.m.

Mimi Ames seconded and the motion carried.
5. New Business
A. This item was taken out of order. 19~' Street Beach Access. Peggy Cornelius informed the
Committee that a general landscaping plan has been drawn. DEP and the City of Atlantic Beach
Public Works have approved this plan. At this point in time, the access has been graded, a bed of
lime rock was added and it was covered with a 4" layer of coquina sand. The current landscaping
plan is to be modified to utilize more natural plants such as grasses, sea oats and beach daisies.
The 19~' Street beach access group will provide a final landscaping plan to the Beautification
Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting for approval. The 19~' Street Beach Access
Committee requested that the Beautification Committee assist by purchasing a bench and a bike
rack.
B. This item was taken out of order. Selva Norte Median.. Betty Graham informed the Committee
that she had been advised that the beautification of the median on 20~' Street at 5elva Marina.
Drive would fall under the Beach Access Program. Susan Dunham advised. the Committee that
she had been erroneously informed that the Selva Norte Group project had been approved and,
therefore, accepted $500 towards the matching funds. Ms. Graham also informed the Committee
that a City water source was available but that they would like to have it extended to the median.
Susan Dunham will contact Public Works to see if they would be willing to extend the water
source. Due to a lack of a quorum, the Beautification Committee could not vote on whether the
beautification of this median fell under the Beach Access Program. June Morris stated that the
Beautification Committee would address this issue at the next regularly scheduled meeting. If it is
determined that this project does not fall under the Beach Access Program, the $500 will be
refunded to the Selva Norte Homeowner's Association.
Kay Lanier introduced herself and informed the Committee that Media One installed a palm tree and
laid sod at the corner of Tenth Street and Beach Avenue. Ms. Lanier stated that she would like to
install a fence to keep the dogs out of this area and would like to put in some mulch. The Committee
Hn suggested that Ms. Lanier draw up a plan of what she would like to put in this area and how she plans
to maintain it, and present her plan at the next Beautification Committee meeting.
