IN THE WESTERN TRAILS ADDITION
Marilyn Baker was present to represent the Western Trail s addition. Davi d
Fa i n presented a site plan along with the recommendations of the Pub 1 i c
Works Director for the park location. Discussion concerned the long range
plans for the site. David stated some plans could include landscaping
along the front to make it more attractive. Citizens were concerned with
the safety and unsightliness of the barbed wire fence along with the rest
of the site. They would like to open up the whole thing up and close
off the chlorine and other dangerous areas. David recommended the residents
set up a meeting with the Public Works Director and Water Superintendent
to answer the questions that are beyond the Board I s area of concern.
Alan suggested working a design with the Public Works Director and then
come back to the board with a more specific, prioritized request, until
then it is beyond the scope of the Board.

use of one field at City Park until the field they currently use is available

field #4 provided they pay nightly fee for use of the fields, the lights
would be out by 10:15; not conflict with Colleyville Associations; there
be no cost to the citizens of Colleyville.

discussion it was the consensus of the Board to proceed with the Creative

by the volunteers. The consensus of the Board is to make a presentation
