1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
2. CITIZEN'S INPUT -
Christi Martin, PO Box 560532, The Colony - She has previously made inquiries regarding getting a list of
parks available to adopt in the Adopt-A-Park program, but said she has not gotten a response from anyone in
the City. The Adopt-A-Park,form is available online, but it does not have information about the parks you
can adopt. She thinks the Adopt-A-Park program is a great program and can be a great way to give citizens
a sense of ownership of the parks, and it's also a good way to do team-building. She has several groups who
would love to get involved with this program. She would appreciate it if someone from the city could provide
her with the list of parks available to adopt.
