<br />Phyllis Sheppard asked if there were any additions or corrections needed. Sheryl Mays- Woods <br />added that it may be nice to include a certificate with the letter. All agreed this would be a good <br />idea. <br /> <br />The board discussed putting a sign in the yard of the letter recipient. Mr. Cruz added that this <br />may be more labor intensive, and that a letter and certificate would be sufficient. <br /> <br />With the approval of the Board, Mr. Cruz said that he'd forward the draft letter onto Mr. Fortini <br />and the City Manager. <br /> <br />Phyllis Sheppard added that it would be nice if the recipient could be recognized at a City <br />Commission meeting. Mr. Cruz said that he'd check into this possibility. <br /> <br />June Herron suggested that a "tip of the month" be added to the utility bills letting customers <br />know when to do certain yard maintenance and also water conservation tips. <br /> <br />Blue Way System <br /> <br />The Blue Way System was brought up at last night's Commission meeting. The Blue Way is a <br />concept to connect the lakes by passage ways in the City. Features such as a nature trail, <br />boardwalks and pavilions may be added. <br /> <br />A grant in the amount of $46,200 was received from Seminole County for improvement of the <br />canal on N. Lake Triplet. Geo tubes will be added to help restore the shore line and prevent <br />eroSIOn. <br /> <br />A small kayak and canoe concession will be added. The boy scouts will assist with the building <br />of canoe/kayak racks. <br /> <br />June Herron asked about the "bird island" that was mentioned at the Commission meeting. Mr. <br />Cruz said this is an island in Middle Lake Triplet. When the invasive species were removed, the <br />birds left the island. <br /> <br />Phyllis Sheppard asked about the location of N. Lake Triplet. Mr. Cruz said this is to the right of <br />the Sr. Center. The lake across the street is Middle Lake Triplet. <br /> <br />Mr. Cruz brought in a map of the lakes and pointed out where the canal restoration and <br />canoe/kayak rental will take place. <br /> <br />June Herron commented about the addition of a kayak/canoe concession area. She feels that this <br />will probably make a lot of people happy, especially those who were upset with the closing of <br />the boat ramps. <br /> <br />Mr. Cruz asked Ms. Sheppard if she's ever had any problems with people coming onto her <br />property. She replied that she hasn't had any, but people using the lakes need to understand that <br />it is private property. <br /> <br />Sheryl Mays-Woods commented on the canoe/kayak issue. She thinks it is a wonderful idea but <br />believes that signs will need to be posted with the rules. Mr. Cruz replied that there will be signs <br /> <br />2 <br />
