>> WELCOME. >> WELCOME, WELCOME.

>> I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE WOODLAND SINCE 1991.

WE LIVED IN COCKREN CROSSING IN APRIL 2021, WE BUILT A HOME IN WEST CREEKSIDE. OUR HOME IS LOCATED NORTH OF HUD SMITH OFF CREEKSIDE FOREST DRIVE.

THE SUBDIVISION, THE HOMES SELL FROM 800 TO ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS.

RECENTLY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO A NEIGHBOR BOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RV, CAMPER OR SOMETHING--THERE IS PICTURES I PROVIDED, AND I CONTACTED THE WOODLAND TOWNSHIP AND I WAS TOLD I-I SENT THE PICTURES AND SHE RESPONDED BACK AND TOLD ME IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL FOR THIS OVER-SIZED CAMPER OR WHATEVER IT IS TO BE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

IT IS A TOTAL EYE SORE. I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO ADOPT A COVENANT TO RESTRICT ANY VEHICLES AT A HOME OWNER RESIDENT THAT CANNOT BE STORED OR PARKED IN THE HOME OWNER GARAGE DUE TO SIZE. THE VEHICLES CANNOT BE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OR ON THE STREET.

AND I THINK THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY.

IT'S A TOTAL EYE SORE AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF US IN HERE WOULD WANT THIS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M TOLD THAT THERE IS NO COVENANT AGAINST THIS.

>> NOTHING WOULD MAKE ME HAPPIER TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

WE CAN'T HAVE DIALOGUE BECAUSE IT ISN'T A POSTED AGENDA ITEM, BUT WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AFTERWARDS AND LOOK TO ADDRESS THIS IN FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. POINT OF INFORMATION.

HAVE YOU ALREADY BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DSC? THAT SHOULD BE MY THOUGHT WHERE YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE IT.

TO THE DSC?

>> I DON'T KNOW- >> THAT IS THE ANSWER, YOU DON'T KNOW. THERE IS SOMEBODY HERE-

>> THERE IS A GUY IN THE BACK. >> THE GUY STANDING UP.

>> THAT IS WHERE YOU SHOULD START.

HE IS A GREAT RESOURCE. >> GO TO HIM, BUT-

>> WE'LL LOOK INTO IT FOR SURE. APPRECIATE THE PICTURES.

THANK YOU SO MUP. MUCH.

>> YOU AUSTINS DAD? >> I AM.

>> I SAW YOUR NAME AND SAID THAT HAS TO BE CRAIG.

>> HE STILL HOLDS A 3 POINT RECORD AT WOODLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

>> STOP IT .

>> WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER.

THANK YOU. >> THANKS FOR COMING OUT.

[00:10:03]

>> NEXT UP, STEW HURSH. MR. HURSH, WELCOME.

CREEKSIDE PARK. I LIVED THERE SINCE 2010.

I'M HERE TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS THE PROPOSED [INAUDIBLE] I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STATUS IS OF THIS PARK AS OF YET.

OVER THE LAST REALLY 5 YEARS OR SO, WE HAVE SEEN CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT LOSS AROUND CREEKSIDE PARK.

THIS PARCEL IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING PARCELS THAT IS UNDEVELOPED IN THE CREEKSIDE PARK AREA. JUST RECENTLY, THE PARCEL ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CREEKSIDE FOREST AND GAUSSLING WAS MOWED DOWN FOR DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN I MOVED IN, WE USED TO HAVE DEER, WE HAD FOXES, PLETHORA OF OTHER SMALL ANIMALS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THOSE ARE ALL GONE. THEY DON'T SHOW UP ANYMORE.

WHEN YOU REDUCE A CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL AREA LIKE WHAT WE HAD THERE, THE DEER ARE RELOCATED IF THEY CAN FIND A LOCATION, ALL THE SMALL ANIMALS THAT EXIST IN THIS AREA ARE DESTROYED. THEY DON'T RELOCATE.

THE BIRDS THAT NESTED IN THIS AREA HAVE GONE.

NOW, IF YOU PUT THIS PARK IN, YOU ARE GOING TO DESTROY 200 ACRES OF CRITICAL FOREST HABITAT.

PUTTING A LITTLE OF A PARK HERE IS NOT A PROBLEM, TRAILS, NATURE TRAILS THAT SORT OF THING, BUT THIS TYPE OF PARK IS UNNEEDED. WE HAVE GOLF, THE SPRING CREEK GOLF CLUB IS HALF MILE DOWN THE ROAD.

WILLOW CREEK GOLF CLUB IS CLOSE BY AND THERE IS NUMBER OF PROFESSIONAL COURSES ALL IN THIS AREA.

WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE GOLF OR INCOME FROM THE GOLF.

SO, THE OTHER THING IS, YOU ARE GOING TO-200 ACRES OF CLEARED AREA, YES, THERE WILL BE GRASS, BUT IT IS STILL GOING INCREASE THE RUN-OFF. I WAS A PROFESSIONAL GEOLOGIST FOR 50 YEARS AND I KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF CLEARING THAT AREA. YES, THE GRASS WILL ABSRB SOME OF THE RUN-OFF, BUT YOU WILL BE-BY REMOVING THAT FOREST CANOPY, YOU ARE PUSHING ALL THE WATER INTO SPRING CREEK AND THOSE PEOPLE DOWN GRADIENT IN SPRING CREEK ARE GOING TO BE IN FOR EVEN MORE FLOODING IN THE FUTURE.

FINALLY, YOU GOT THIS PARK AROUND THE LARGEST SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT IN THE COUNTY AND SEWAGE LIFT STATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GAUSSLING ROAD. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL WANT TO USE THE PARK BECAUSE PROBABLY HALF THE TIME DURING THE YEAR IT IS PRETTY SMELLY OVER THERE.

SO, I'M JUST HERE TO SAY I DON'T THINK YOU NEED THIS PARK.

AT LEAST NOT IN THE WAY IT IS ENVISIONED.

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING WITH IT, BUT PLEASE DON'T DESTROY THAT HABITAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU MR. HURSH. WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT THAT AS A BOARD IN PUBLIC COMMENT.

[INAUDIBLE] READ A RFP AND WROTE THE STORY BASED ON THAT, SO WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT A LOT MORE IN FUTURE BOARD

MEETINGS. >> APPRECIATE IT.

YOUR PAPER IS READ. PERFECT READING.

ALRIGHT. THAT IS CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC

[ CONSENT AGENDA]

MOVING TO CONSENT AGENDA. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON CONSENT AGENDA. NN CONTROVERSIAL ITEMS REQUIRED BY LAW AND CONSIDERED AND APPROVED WITHIN ONE MOTION. NO DISCUSSION WILL TAKE PLACE UNLESS A ITEM IS REMOVED AND PLACED ON REGULAR AGENDA BY ANY BOARD MEMBER. THERE ARE 10 ITEMS ON THE AGENDA AN 43-67 OF THE PACKET.

MOVED BY DIRECTOR FRANK AND SECONDED BY SEKULA-GIBBS.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE. MOTION CARRIES.

[7. Receive, consider and act upon a proposal to The Boring Company under its Tunnel Vision Challenge and authorize a Board letter of support for the submittal;]

[00:15:02]

PLEASE REFER TO PAGES 68-81. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHAIRMAN BAILEY. AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS FROM THE BORING COMPANY AND BASICALLY THEY ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. PUT ON THE STREET OF IDEAS OF HOW TO POTENTIALLY USE THEIR TECHNOLOGY, THE BORING AND MANY KNOW THAT OR AWAY THIS IS ONE OF ELON MUSK'S COMPANIES AND THE CONCEPT IS THEY CONSTRUCT A TUNNEL UP TO A MILE FREE OF CHARGE AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY INTERESTS OF I THINK THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY FROM A STANDPOINT OF, WE KNOW WE HAVE TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND WE PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENTS CHALLENGES, ESPECIALLY IN THE TOWN CENTER AREA, AND SO WE DEVELOPED A PROPOSAL AND THERE IS A UPDATED PROPOSAL THAT IS ON YOUR DESK BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO REVISE IT AND REVISE IT AS WE GET NEW IDEAS, BUT THE CONCEPT HAS NOT CHANGED T. IS REFINEMENT THERE.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS IN THE WATER WAY CORRIDOR CONNECTING BETWEEN THE WATER WAY SQUARE TO THE MARRIOTT TO TOWN GREEN AND TRY TO EXTEND AS FAR AS THE GE BETS LOT OVER TO HUGHS LANDING IS DUAL TUNNEL SYSTEM THAT WILL BE PEDESTRIAN MOVER, POTENTIALLY USE THE TESLA VEHICLES TO TRANSPORT VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE PEAK TIME PERIODS WHERE WE ARE CRUSHED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE SEE THAT DURING THE [INAUDIBLE] CONCERTS, WE SEE AS SPECIAL EVENTS. WE SEE THAT CHALLENGES WITH WHEN MARKET STREET HAS EVENTS, THE TOWNSHIP HAS EVENTS. [INAUDIBLE] THERE IS BIG THINGS GOING ON WITH THE MARRIOTT, SO WE HAVE THAT AWAY TO POTENTIALLY MOVE PEOPLE NOT ONLY SURFACE STREETS BUT ALSO THROUGH THE TUNNEL CONCEPT.

WHAT WE ARE REALLY SEEKING AS THE MEMO IDENTIFIES IS FOUR KEY ASPECTS.

HOW WE IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY, HOW WE IMPROVE CIRCULATION OR SEE AS A WAY TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION, REDUCE SURFACE CONGESTION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AND DR. SHELLEY IS THE ADVOCATE IS HOW DO WE NOT EXPAND POTENTIALLY TRAFFIC-LANES OF TRAFFIC AND REMOVE TREES AND OTHER TYPE GREENERY IN OUR COMMUNITY WE SO CHERISH TO USE A DIFFERENT LAYER OF THE EARTH TO FACILITATE THIS DISCUSSION. AND SO IF THE PROJECT IS SELECTED WE WOULD RETURN TO THE BOARD MANY TIMES.

THIS IS JUST REALLY AUTHORIZING THE LETTER OF SUPPORT AS WELL AS THE SUBMISSION OF THE PROPOSAL.

WE WOULD BE COMING BACK WITH ANY RECOMMENDED AGREEMENTS, FUNDING REQUIREMENTS, PERMITTING STRATEGY, ANY SCOPE ELEMENTS AND SO THE MOTION IN FRONT OF YOU IS REALLY TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SUBMIT THE ATTACHED-SHOULD BE THE REVISED OR REREVISED PROPOSAL TO THE BORING COMPANY BY THE DEADLINE ON

THE 23. >> THANK YOU.

COMING UP WITH THE IDEA AND FINDING THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHAIRMAN AND BOARD.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO THE COMMUNITY AND AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE WILL NOT BE THE ONLY APPLICANT ASSUMING THE BOARD AGREES AND GIVES ITS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT TO THE EFFORT TO WIN-IT IS COMPETITION AND IF WE DO WIN, THEN THAT'S WHEN REALLY WE'LL LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT WHAT THE ACTUAL PROJECT COULD BE.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IF YOU LOOK ONLINE, ANYONE CAN GO ONLINE AND LOOK AT THIS. IT IS CALLED TUNNEL VISION CHALLENGE AND IT IS INTERESTING, BUT THERE ISN'T A LOT OF MEAT AND POTATOES. WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY, BUT SEVERAL HERE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE LAS VEGAS LOOP IN ACTION A FEW YEARS AGO WITH THE WOODLAND CHAMBER AND THAT WAS EYE OPENING.

DR. NELSON WAS THERE AND WERE YOU THERE?

>> I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO. >> IT WAS FANTASTIC.

AND BRAD SENT A VIDEO BACK OF IT.

YOU ROAD IT DIDN'T YOU BRAD? SADLY, IT WAS UNDER THE WEATHER WHEN WE WERE THERE.

SO, WE COULD NOT RIDE IT. BUT IT WAS STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE. THAT SAID, WHEN THIS CAME UP WE HAVE A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS APPLICATION WORK AND DIRECTOR-SORRY, MR. NOONS, DR. NOONS,

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE? >> THE 23.

>> RIGHT, MONDAY. YES, SO WE HAVE A LOT TO DO.

NO PRESSURE. A LOT TO DO TO GET THIS OFF AND IN THE WORKS.

BUT, IT COULD BE SOMETHING REALLY WONDERFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE'LL WAIT AND SEE.

I'M SURE THERE WILL BE HUNDREDS OF OTHER APPLICANTS AND IF THEY WANT TO HAVE A PRESENCE IN TEXAS, WE MAY BE THE

[00:20:03]

BUSINESSES. >> I APPLAUD YOU FINDING THIS.

THESE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE.

I LOOK BACK AT OUR SHORT-TERM GOALS FROM OUR RETREAT LAST YEAR AND ONE OF THEM IS, TOWN CENTER TRAFFIC MOBILITY AND PARKING AND THIS IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LOOK REALLY CREATIVELY AND TO HAVE SITES AND TUNNELS MAYBE GOING UNDER THE WATERWAY AND UP SPOTS WERE-PAVILION AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND MARKET STREET DOWN TO HUGHS LANDING THE MALL.

WHO KNOWS WHERE WE CAN DO IT BECAUSE THERE ARE BIG NATURAL GAS PIPELINES SO I HAVE SPOKE TO HOWARD HUGHS, I SPOKE TO PAVILION AND MARKET STREET AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND THE MALL.

AL WERE INTERESTED IN THE OPPORTUNITY AND LEARN MORE.

IF WE DO IT RIGHT AND GET A PLAN AND COME IN PHASE 1, 2, 3, 4, SO A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT ABLE TO GET A MILE OF THIS FREE WOULD BE GREAT. WOULD BE REALLY ADVANTAGEOUS.

I WOULD SAY THOUGH, WE NEED TO-WITH ANYONE WITH ELON, WE BETTER BE COMMUNICATING WITH HIM, SO WE NEED OUR COMMUNICATION TEAM TO START TWEETING, BUT I CAN TELL YOU AS WHY OUR COMMUNITY WE SHOULD INCLUDE, WHY OUR COMMUNITY? LIKE GREAT MINDS HAVE BEEN IN THE WOODLAND GEORGE MITCHELL EXHIBIT A, HE CREATED THE WOODLANDS AND INVENTED FRACKING THAT REVOLUTIONED OUR COUNTRY AND MADE US ENERGY INDEPENDENT.

WHY NOT TAKE TRANSPORTATION TO THE NEXT LEVEL? WE NEED TO WORK HARD TO GET THIS AND HAVING STEAK HOLD RS ON BOARD FOR NEXT STEPS-

>> WE NEED A MOTION TO PURSUE THIS?

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> ONE QUESTION.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE FOR ALL THE MILLIONS OF VIEWERS, EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN VEGAS?

IS IT A ONE WAY TUNNEL? >> IT IS A TUNNEL THAT-I WILL ACTUALLY-MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I WILL SEND A VIDEO. YOU GET IN A AREA THAT IS ABOVE GROUND. YOU GET INTO A TESLA.

IT GOES DOWN AND LOOPS AND HAS FIBER OPTIC LED LIGHTS.

IT IS COOL EXPERIENCE AND YOU COME UP AND YOU ARE AT A FOUNTAIN BLUE RESORT HOTEL.

AND THEN YOU GO BACK DOWN AND COME UP AND AT THE SPHERE.

THEY HAVE SEVERAL STOPS. WHEN THEY COME UP, IT-BUT YOU GO UNDER TRAFFIC, THERE IS NO STOPLIGHTS OR TRAFFIC, THERE IS NO ANYTHING SO YOU ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH EITHER WAY. IT IS A REALLY CREATIVE SPOT.

THEY STARTED THE PROCESS I BELIEVE WITH THOMAS CARS, LIKE THE SELF-DRIVING TESLAS BECAUSE THERE IS NO RIGHT AND LEFT. JUST GO STRAIGHT.

THEY CHANGED THAT A BIT I THINK FOR OTHER ISSUES, BUT THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS NO DRIVERS SO YOU DON'T HAVE A MASSIVE LABOR COST.

>> I THINK THEY CHANGED FOR THE SIMPLE REASON PEOPLE WERE A LITTLE ANXIOUS AND SO THE CURRENT DRIVERS, THEY DO HARDLY ANYTHING ACCEPT JUST CHAT LIKE A DOCENT IN A MUSEUM.

THEY JUST CHAT WITH THE PASSENGERS AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS DOING WELL AND HAPPY AND GIVE THEM INFORMATION ABOUT THE WHOLE PROJECT;B THE LOOP BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS FASCINATED HOW IT WORK JZ THE NEXT STEP AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING, IS THIS SCALABLE AND COMING TO MY COMMUNITY?

>> DETAILS ARE SPARSE ON THIS, BUT DO WE KNOW ARE TESLA CARS INCLUDED IN THIS SCOPE?

>> THAT IS PART OF THE ANSWER TO COME.

>> I'M SURE THE CARS ARE CHEAP COMPARED TO THE DRILLING AND CONCRETE.

IT IS VERY VERY GREEN. >> WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE AGAIN THIS IS ALL EXPENSES PAID BY THE BORING COMPANY?

>> THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS. >> WE WILL LOOK AT OPTIONS AND SEE IF WE CAN MAYBE GET SHORT-LISTED AND ARE PROVIDE PHASE 2. I THINK IT IS A CREATIVE WAY WE ARE LOOKING HOW WE DO IT.

>> DID I READ THE RFP THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR MULTIPLE LETTERS OF

[00:25:05]

SUPPORT? >> YES, AND- THAT'S WHAT CHAIRMAN HAS BEEN WORKING ON AND I HAVE TOO.

>> BY MONDAY? >> YES, BY MONDAY.

>> A LOT OF WRITING TOMORROW. FEELS LIKE COLLEGE.

>> CRAM IT OUT, BABY. >> BUSY WEEKEND.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FEEDBACK?

>> I WANTED TO COMMEND CHRIS NOONS.

HE HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO GET THIS TO WHERE IT IS.

DIRECTOR SEKULA-GIBBS, THANK YOU TOO.

WE SHARED WITH HER AND SHE PROVIDED VALUABLE INPUT TO GET IT WHERE IT IS NOW.

I WANTED TO COMMEND BOTH OF YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS ON THIS.

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A LOT. >> THANK YOU CHRIS.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING WORK AND IF WE ARE ABLE TO PULL RABBIT OUT OF A

HAT- >> WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE THE WOODLAND? IT IS BEST THE PLACE TO LIVE IN AMERICA, SO WHY NOT HAVE THE MOST EXCITING INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN AMERICA?

>> NO PRESSURE, CHRIS. >> THANK YOU.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THE MOTION?

>> YES, I HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER TO THE BOARD.

I LIKE TO MOVE TO AUTHORIZE THE SUBMITTAL OF THIS RESPONSE WITH FINAL FORM APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER OF THE WOODLANDS AND THAT IS NUMBER ONE.

THE OTHER IS TO APPROVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT THAT WOULD BE SIGNED BY ALL OF US TO GO AS AN ATTACHMENT WITH THE

APPLICATION. >> I LIKE TO ADD TO THAT.

I LIKE TO INVITE ELON MUSK AND BORING COMPANY TO VISIT THE WOODLANDS.

>> SERIOUSLY. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WHY NOT? >> MOTION BY SEKULA-GIBBS AND [INAUDIBLE] ALL IN FAVOR AYE. OPPOSED?

[8. Receive, consider and act upon an Ad Hoc Village Centers Committee Charter and the related appointments to the Committee;]

>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

LAST MONTH AS THE BOARD WAS CONSIDERING THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURE IN APPOINTEES FOR THIS YEAR, CHAIRMAN BAILEY ASKED THE BOARD CONSIDER A AD HOC COMMITTEE.

THAT CHARGE HAS BEEN UNDER THE AD HOC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SO WE BROUGHT BACK A DRAFT CHARTER THAT FOLLOWS THE CHARTER GIVEN TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, PUTS IN A STAND ALONE COMMITTEE, AT THE SAME TIME FORESEE BOARD MEMBERS AND THREE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO COMPRISE THE COMMITTEE SO YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THE DRAFT CHARTER AND LIKE TO CONSIDER THE APPOINTMENTS FOR THE COMMITTEE.

WE ARE SEEING TODAY I WAS AT THE [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE GRAND OPENING, CINDY AND I BOTH WERE OF THE ROBOTICS SECTION OF THE KEVIN BRADY LIBRARY.

INCREDIBLE. POD CAST STUDIO, ROBOTIC STUDIO.

TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CENTER SINCE THEY OPENED UP.

LET'S NOT FORGET, IT WAS A DESOLATE-LOOKED LIKE A GHOST TOWN FOR A LONG TIME. NOW THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE BY FAR MOST VISITED LIBRARY IN THE ENTIRE ALL MONTGOMERY COUNTY. IT IS BEACON OF WHAT LIBRARIES SHOULD BE.

THE COMMUNITY IS DOING LIGHTS OUT BUSINESS.

KIDS ARE COMING IN ALL AGES. IT IS REALLY REALLY WELL DONE.

THIS WAS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THAT WORKED I THINK WE SHOULD APPLAUD THAT.

AS WE LOOK AT THE VILLAGE CENTER, THE OTHER 8-7 VILLAGE CENTERS WE

[11. Consideration of items to be placed on the agenda for next month's meeting;]

>> SECOND. >> ALRIGHT.

COME TO GIVE A BRIEFING. ANYONE ELSE?

>> WELL, I DON'T HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE THIS, BUT THE STAFF BUT IT SEEMS WE ARE CONTINUING TO GET REGULAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT ELECTRIC BIKE PEN TRAINING THE PARK IN CREEKSIDE PARK AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A REPORT WHERE THE PROGRAM FOR OUTREACHES IS. I THINK THERE WAS A DELAY-WE AGREED TO SOME SORT OF DELAY OR EXTENSION.

WE WERE GETTING IT MONTHLY I THINK.

JUNE. THAT'S A LONG TIME.

I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE WORK FOR THEM, BUT I THINK THE COMMUNITY IN CREEKSIDE PARK IS VERY UNHAPPY, ESPECIALLY LIBERTY BRANCH AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING BECAUSE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE IS BEING JEOPARDIZED.

THEY ARE WORRIED. SO, I LIKE TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR OUTREACH, IF IT HAS ANY IMPACT AND ALSO THE STATISTICS. ARE THE INJURIES GOING UP? ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVING CONSEQUENCESS OR IS THIS SIMPLY INCONVENIENCE AND ANNOYING HAVING THE BIKES ON THE PATHWAYS AND PARKS.

>> WOULD YOU NEED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO BE AT THE MEETING AS WELL?

>> I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE STAFF HOW THEY WANT TO HANDLE IT.

>> WE HAD A MEETING ONCE BEFORE AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

>> I'M INTERESTED JUST DON'T KNOW IF IS SON OUR COMMUNICATIONS.

>> I LIKE THE PACK ABOUT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACCIDENTS HAPPENING AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACCIDENTS.

I WANT THE STATISTICS, I THINK IT HELPS AND IF WE PUSH THOSE OUT TO THE

PARENTS. >> ALSO THE DISRESPECT OF THE KIDS ABUSING PARK PROPERTY.

PARENT MAY NOT KNOW THAT IS THEIR KID AND IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANT ISSUE, LIKE LITTLE BILLY, THIS ISN'T YOU, RIGHT? SO MAKING IT MORE PUBLIC GETS MORE ATTENTION.

>> YEAH. >> WELL, I THINK JAMES CAMPBELL WITH THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY DISTRICT, I THINK HE IS KEEPING STATS MORE SO THEN BEFORE I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MONTHLY BUT MAYBE A QUARTERLY BASING.

I THINK IT GOES BACK TO EDUCATING THE PARENTS AND I THINK LEEA NN IS

[00:35:01]

LIBERTY BRANCH IS ONE OF THE MANY NEIGHBORHOODS FACING THE SAME THING AND CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH.

>> GOOD TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT GOING ON, THE CURRENT STATISTICS.

>> I THINK WE NEED ALSO TO HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT.

>> IF WE CAN TRY TO WRAP IT UP. WE ARE GETTING BEYOND THE AGENDA, BUT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT AND WILL

[12. Board announcements; and]

BRING SOMETHING BACK. >> WE HAD IT ONCE BEFORE.

>> WE GOT THAT ADDED. ANY OTHER ONES?
