April 2006 Committee Meeting
At last month’s meeting, it was discussed by the Committee to not formally make a rule of prohibiting the batting of balls in our parks. The Committee recommended running articles in the monthly newsletter asking residents to always make sure the park is large enough, and to use common sense when batting hardballs or softballs.
   Staff updated the Committee on the upcoming Street Faire and told them it was going to be our best Street Faire to date.
