development further along Shell Road.

Vista and Heritage Oaks does not meet warrants. There have been 40 accidents there
involving rear -ending of vehicles, but not critical accidents. The City is considering a
turn lane at that intersection.
Jamie Beran reported that Heart of Texas had been working for the city for two months.

Mulch had been added under the bench at Bedford Park, using the free mulch from the
city and the Parks Department Staff. He also stated the mowers would be raised Ih" to
raise the height of the grass for better water conservation. He discussed the rocks at the

they would like to see in their neighborhoods.

from Chestnut Park.
The sidewalk maintenance project would be starting this summer. Briggs will bring
more information back at the next meeting.
Marler asked if the PID could pay for the maintenance of the fence along Shell Road.
