Mr. Curtis reported that previously installed survey stakes have been removed from WSPC property. The board will investigate.
Tabatha Curtis formally requested that the board take immediate and swift action to address the property lines in question and the following concerns: tress planted on, irrigation lines installed on, landscaping and fencing installed on WSPC property and not private property.
Tabatha Curtis raised an objection to the fire pit that was in use during the Diamond Lake Block Party at Miller Park on September 7, 2019 since the removal of fire pits had been implemented by WSPC. It was requested that WSPC consider allowing temporary fire pits to be used for occasional use.
