to the south and north sides of Bellaire, and providing enhancements to Madrone Park,
Rowan Park and Summers' Green. Additional request for staff to provide costs for were a
bark park in the south section of the Village, a roundabout replaced at the intersection of
Bellaire and Rosedale, and street trees placed along Rosedale to Naranjo where there are not
currently any placed.
Ortego called upon people who had asked to speak on this topic.
Ron Moore, a Section 9 resident, asked for sidewalks along Shell Road and a park on
Beretta. Newman responded that he will have an answer soon about the design of a
possible park inside Beretta Circle.
Timothy Fleming, 604 Rosedale, (additional 3 minutes donated by Marsi Liddell, 604
Rosedale) spoke about past finances and the perceived disparity among the north side of
Shell Road and the south side of Shell Road and how many amenities were on each side. He
wants more money spent on the south side of Shell Road.
Michael Charles, 244 Beretta Circle, asked for the Board to consider funding more amenities
for Section 9, agreeing with Mr. Fleming.
