OLD BUSINESS Christmas Parade Route Mr. Corder stated that due to the construction on Indian River Boulevard, the parade route for this year would definitely be changed. The new staging area will be at the Edgewater Public School ballfields on Turgot Ave. From there the parade will proceed north on Old County Road to Park Avenue, where it will turn west and go to Rotary Park, where the parade will disperse. It was asked if we would be purchasing new Christmas banners for this year, and Mr. Corder replied no, due to the budget cuts. He stated they will put up the same as last year, and some may be put in different locations, because of the road construction. He stated they still have a live Christmas tree on hold from last year for the City Tree. Museum Opening Mr. Corder said the museum is really coming along fine and stated the official date for the Grand Opening of the City Museum would be October 12th at 10:00 AM. There will be tents set up, and refreshments served. Several dignitaries will be invited along with the public. He stated he hopes to have a nice turn out.

Beautification Awards for September The Board voted on the September nominations for a business and a residential award. The winning business award was given to Nancy Freeman's State Farm office at 1015 S. Ridgewood Avenue and the residential award was given to 121 E. Ocean Avenue. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Corder said the Adopt-A-Median program would be coming before Council this month. Mr. Visconti mentioned that Riverside Bank was interested in doing a median in front of their business. Mr. Corder stated he had $10,000 in the budget for medians that was lost due to the budget cuts and what is left has to be spent for pipes on the Boulevard construction project. Mr. Visconti suggested a donation program for the City residents whereby they could dontate $1.00 on the their water bill, to go towards beautification, as it seems there will be no money allotted for this in the near future with all the latest cuts. The Board liked the idea and agreed to come back with ideas next month on how this could be implemented if Council liked the idea. Mr. Visconti presented a sketch to the Board representing a memorial for September 11 th, 200 1. While the Board liked the idea, they did not feel it was something for this Board to undertake, rather the Service organizations or the Police and Fire units. Mr. Fishback stated he did some checking on the possibility of getting some kind of a program going for students interested in playing musical instruments. He was told that there are no such programs, the schools do not have any instruments, they rent them, and there just is no money at all allotted to these programs any more. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mr. Visconti moved to adjourn, seconded by Mrs. Trout. Minutes submitted by Barb Kowall Recreation/Cultural Services Bd.
