He suggests that the council include discussion about funding for 51 Blue Heron Days and in particular about the addition of a boat race event; staff 52 could have information for that discussion ready. 53 Recreation Land- Council Member Roeser noted that the council has discussed 54 the possibility of getting something going on the recreation land, such as a parking 55 lot and sign. He'd like to see some momentum back in getting those things done. 56 Mayor Reinert added that the purpose of those plans was to let people know that 57 they could have access to the area (parking) and begin using it. With the addition 58 of the new fire station in that vicinity, there should be coordination between the 59 two. Community Development Director Grochala said staff is looking at the 60 whole site and will continue to do so. 61 West Oaks- Council Member Roeser attended a citizen meeting and heard 62 concerns about speeding in the area. Can there be a speed indicator installed? 63 Community Development Director Grochala said he is aware of the complaints 64 and is monitoring the situation to determine the best response. 65 Update on Watermark Development- Regarding water issues in the 66 development area, shouldn't the project be a part of the drainage ditch study that 67 is going on in the area? Community Development Director Grochala will keep 68 Mattamy up to date as that study develops. 69 70 The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. 71 72 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 73 December 8, 2014. 74 75 76 77 78 Juli. - e Bartell, City Cl rk Jeff ft -inert, Mayor 79 2
