FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-
Sales tax continues to increase. Statements look good
TRAILS -
Pam and Keith met with the Corp of Engineers regarding the shoreline trail plan. We can make the
trails 12ft. wide, the trail surface can be a mixture, but the Corp wants us to limit the amount of
concrete we use, the Corp does not want us to put picnic tables along the trail but we can put benches
and trash cans along the trail, we could put solar lights along the trail but they are very expensive.
HISTORICAL PARK - I
Don said the committee is developing a plan to tie Greenway Park, Perryman Park and the Historical
Park together. The idea is to highlight the history of The Colony area before it was The Colony, prior to
1974 - Bridges Settlement, Stewartsville, and Camey Spur, and then into The Colony with Fox & Jacobs
from 1974 with 5 or 6 years of The Colony history. In Greenway Park we want to put a kiosk in and talk
about the historical bridge, vegetation of the area, and history on the lake. We want to make this a tourist
attraction and a place school children can go to learn about the history of The Colony. There has been
discussion about making part of Fire Station #1 into a mini museum.
DOG PARK-
Stephen said there haven't been any meetings yet, he is going to wait until after the Public Hearing
takes place in November.
SAIL FAIR -
Pam said the event went well. The community volunteers and staff did a goodjob putting the event on.
The attendance was lower than anticipated It did rain on Sunday, but Radio Disney did come. There
was an evacuation plan in place for bad weather. This year we had 18 craft vendors, 15 food vendors, it
would have been better to have Radio Disney for 2 days instead of 1 day, some of the food vendors said
the event was good but some were disappointed, we received a lot of compliments for the kids area, and
Eddie Money was good Many people who lived in Stewarts Peninsula walked over and the shuttles
worked well.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
