PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN OF REDINGTON SHORES REGULAR MEETING WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026 - 5:00 P.M. MINUTES A Regular Meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee of the Town of Redington Shores, Florida, was convened at 5:00 p.m. Members Present: Ginger McQuigg, Cathy Sypnewski, Emily Schrader, Loretta Fricks, Bonnie Utz Members Absent: Theresa Galivan Other Municipal Officials Present: None. 1. ROLL CALL 2. OLD BUSINESS a. Underground utilities on W side of road. b. Review EVERY sign (crosswalks, directions etc) and remove any that aren’t absolutely necessary. We have more signs than any other community. It is all you see when driving through on Gulf Blvd. Remove or straighten the crooked or abandoned utility boxes throughout town. This is a real eyesore! (Followup: Consult with Town for an update on their status.) c. Develop a sign ordinance/standard for all businesses. Develop similar to Boca Raton. Signs are small, posted low and very subtle. (Followup: We do not have an abundance of businesses in our town to need these restrictions. Most of our signs are FDOT.) 4. Plant colorful seasonal flowers in the medians. There aren’t many so this should be doable. (Followup: Check for water source. Add large colorful pots with color on the medians.) Get decorative wraps for the large utility boxes. Such as nature Park, constitution Park, and any along Gulf Boulevard. (Followup: The large utility boxes belong to Duke Power and wraps are not allowed.) d. Make Nature Park a showplace. Colorful flowers, trees etc. do more that is seasonal to go along with our “forever” plants. Also have a “nature” sculpture created to enhance entrance. (Followup: With lack of Town personnel a suggestion was made to ask for volunteers for weeding and cleaning up. Dogs seem to be in Nature Park. There was also a discussion regarding a dog park area in Constitution Park if feasible. e. Refuse to handle any upkeep on the county park unless the town has total control of what gets done to maintain the entire property and then turn it into a show place. This is an eye sore for such an expensive piece of property. f. There was no new information about the status of new signs. Will attend Town Workshop for coordination of this project. Consistency with all our signage. 1 3. NEW BUSINESS a. County Park The County Parking lot is to be refreshed with new vinyl coated chain-link fence,

resurfacing and dumpster enclosure. We need to check with Town for how P&R can help. b. Add color around the RS signs at the beginning and end of town. c. Ask Margaret to attend meeting prior to Workshop meeting for information of what the Town is discussing. d. Make Nature Park a focal point of RS. Sculptures and designing and painting the crosswalk with DOT approval. e. Refresh our message boards with new cork, banner at top, painted brightly with up-to- date information and continued info about local wild life. 4. MISCELLANEOUS a. There is a vacancy on the committee for a representative of District 1. b. Next PAR meeting is Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 5 pm. (Subsequently the meeting scheduled for Jun 24 was canceled.) 5. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Committee, the meeting adjourned at 5:58 p.m. Submitted by: Bonnie Utz Approved: July 29, 2026 2
