The markers will be ordered in the FY 2005 budget. VI. Lighting at Bransford Park Joe Deupree reported that there was concern with the new spot lighting installed in the caboose area at Bransford Park. The lighting is too harsh and glaring. The bulbs have been changed and the lighting may not be suitable for security. Lila Coley stated that the lights are glaring and need to be a more subdued lighting. She suggested that hooded lights might be more appropriate. The committee will review the resolution approved by the city council concerning responsibility of the Webb House and Bransford Park. VII. Discussion of July 2, 2005 Event Nelson Thibodeaux reported that the theme of the event is "Hometown Heroes Day". Part of the consideration is to honor the two young men from Colleyville Heritage High School, Steven Tucker and Chris Schultz, who died during "Iraqi Freedom" and a member of public service. Also each year a hometown hero will be honored. As a result, the developer of the Village at Colleyville is willing to make the "Holiday Park" area in the Village a pedestrian area with plaques worked into the landscaping for each individual. It is planned to have an artist rendition of the park at the July 2 event and to name the honorees for this year. The wording on the plaques will be written by the Colleyville Historical Preservation Committee. Thibodeaux also reported that there will be a history room at the Colleyville Center. Mike Patterson will be the host. He also suggested inviting Bobby Fitzgerald to display some of his museum items. There will be a parade, chili cook-off, car show and different family activities.

Carol reported that the CWC had asked her to do the article on the women's club and that she was still working on it, and that the article on the garden club just needed some final touches. Lila reported that there were 15 features articles (at 1-1/2 pages each) with lots of pictures, and that the parks and recreation article is at 15 pages. Molly inquired about the source for pictures for articles. She has received some from the police department.
