Nature Park: Herbicide down and dead plants come out in February along with 2 dead Queen Palms. Discussion followed on banners that committee wanted to suggest for the park to show the progress and different stages while keeping in mind that banners could be reused for other projects if they were not specific to this project. After many ideas and discussion, it was decided that the main banner will say Renewing Our Town with the Town Logo on the banner. This will be presented to the Town Administrator. The next banner may denote that the plants are Florida Friendly. Also want to add a QR code on the banners to allow the public to see the entire project. Ginger shared some ideas for small signs to be used around the park to keep people’s interest in what is going on and to add some fun to the project. 2. Beach Access Signs: The committee looked at some examples of what other towns along the Gulf Coast are using to see if any of their set ups fit what the committee was trying to accomplish by aggregating the necessary signs.
