5. Discussion Re: Proposed Ordinance to Prohibit Fireworks
Discussion was held on the proposed ordinance. Since this
Ordinance was drafted by Mr. Theriac, and he was not in
attendnace, it will be placed on the next workshop agenda.
Discussion Re: Proposed Aesthetic Ordinance
Mr. Nicholas noted that the aesthetic ordinance had been reviewed
by both the Planning and Zoning and Beautification Boards. He
presented the suggested changes proposed by the Beautification
Board.
It was noted that the ordinance would be enforced by the Code
Enforcement Board. In response to a question regarding whether or
not the ordinance would be defensible, Mr. Bennett explained that
the proposed ordinance was the "bare bones" of what could be
enforced; that it was 908 maintenance standards with the design
charactertics taken out.
Agenda for first reading on Tuesday.
7. Discussion Re: Establishing Referendum Question on
Restr ct ng Colora of Buildings
Mr. Nicholas explained that the City Attorney was under the
impression that the restricting of colors had to be accomplished
by a referendum question, similar to the Community Standards.
However, further research has shown this is not the case.
Beautification Board Member Judy Randels gave a presentation on
restricting the colors of buildings. Her research showed that the
City should select color chartsof approximately 200 colors and
that commercial buildings would have to be within those color
ranges. Discussion followed on getting the support of the
commercial community prior to adoption. The Beautification Board
was urged to proceed with the establishment of regulations.

Discussion
Discussion was held on the beautification of the median on
Columbia Drive. Mr. Nicholas noted that the Beautification Board
was surprised to hear Council state that it would be paid for with
revenue generated by the beautification ad valorem tax. He
further noted that if Ross of Brevard did come through with the
$25,000 donation as they have promised, that could go to defray
the cost of the beautification.
