attended to show their faces.
5.3 Potential Projects- Ms. Sallberg has requested the committee to reserve a spot for any
potential unofficial items that may arise between the agenda being created and the meeting
taking place. This spot would remain open for any business or issue that a citizen might have
brought up or any topic that doesn't require voting, but they would like to address. Action:
Mr. Estes made a motion to add an open discussion item after the action items during the
meeting; Mr. Nelson seconded this.
6. Open Discussion
6.1 Housing numbers- A concerned citizen spoke to Ms. Sallberg about the issue of houses not
having visible numbers, making it difficult for pedestrians to locate an address, particularly at
night. The citizens are wondering how we can work with HOAs and other citizens in the city
to adopt and implement this suggestion.
6.2 Redstone Rd./ Okaloosa Ln.- Ms. Sallberg is worried about the high number of parked cars
on the side of the road, waiting to pick up children who have been released from school. The
issue is causing too much confusion and congestion, and there is not enough vigilance from
the students or parents after school. Ms. Sallberg is wondering who she should address to find
a solution that ensures there are no issues.
6.3 American Flags- Ms. Sallberg would really love to see more American Flags around town to
show our Patriotism.
6.4 Announcements- Mr. Nelson is wondering if there is another way for the announcements to
be spread more publicly.
