Call to Order
1. Meeting was called to order at 6:40 pm by Chair, Lee Medart. Quorum was not met at the start of the meeting but was met further into the meeting. The Chair announced that hereafter she would be starting the meeting on time as it was not a courtesy to those that were there on time to be kept waiting 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Minutes for the Feb 24, March 3, March 10, and March 17, 2003 meetings had been sent out to the task force. There were no objections to the minutes and were approved as written after we had a quorum.
Unfinished Business
1. It was decided, after discussion, that the Community-wide meeting would be held May 8th with confirmation
from DI Baptist Church. Same time.
2. The Chair asked for volunteers to get the publicity out for the upcoming meeting as she needed
help. There were no forthcoming volunteers. The Chair stated that she would make a list of tasks that
needed to be done and call task force members to get volunteers.
a. Try to get the City to let us use the same permit number so we don’t have to pay another $25.00. Discussion centered
on size of signs. It was determined that the larger signs plus the sandwich board signs were the best. The placement of signs
was considered appropriate.
b. It was decided that the words “open-house” should be on the signs not TownHall Meeting.
c. Shelia said she’d do the signs but she needs help because it takes three people to apply the signs. Renae will
reprint the signs totally since they were applied so badly. But the thought would be that we can just change the date for
future meetings.
d. Shelia suggested that she use the same publicity documents as for the March 20th meeting. There
were no objections.
3. There was a sign-up for volunteers for the Islands’ Fest table for DI Planning.
a. Renae T. will print up a banner for the tabletop tripod display board and a banner on the outside
of the table indicating we’re DI Planning.
b. Rose will print up FAQ sheets to hand out as well as a flyer with dates of the upcoming meeting so
people can take it home.
c. Dennis will ask 220 for the loan of their table with umbrella.
d. We’ll borrow the pictures from Rose for the table. Easels will be brought by Rose.
e. Dennis will get the DI Realty maps for the routing.
f. Aerial map Charner will provide.
g. Rose will give the “Where we’ve been Where we’re going” posters.
h. Renee M. will provide the tripod table display.
i. Segmented DI map that Jeffrey made – Dennis has.
j. Colored pens – Lee to provide.
New Business
1. Awareness Day at the Tampa Bay Community Network has invited for one of us to be present on May 5.
Times to be gotten by Lee. Jeffrey agreed to be our representative.
2. B filming is scheduled for April 18th.
3. Lee showed an example of Gary Brown’s suggestion of having table top notices for restaurant tables.
They all thought it was a great idea.
Next meeting
The question was raised if we needed another meeting before the community-wide meeting it was decided we
did not need to meet.
The Community-wide meeting May 8th, 2003. Be there as close to 4:00 pm as possible.
Meeting adjourned at 7:40 pm.
