Director of Community Services Malcolm Jackson welcomed the new members. New members Sherry
Berman, Tom Stephen, and Andy Wambsganss recited the oath of office. Due to a technicality, and
ordinance must be passed to create a places 8 and 9 on the Park and Recreation Board. Since Cara
White will be serving as the Park Representative in Place 8, she has not been sworn in as a Park and
Recreation Board member, and therefore she did not take the oath at this time.

orientation. The Board decided to do both at one meeting. The next SPDC meeting will be August 27,
2003, 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

in the CEP.

Kelli Riley, 1374 Woodbrook Lake, Southlake, Texas, President of the Southlake Carroll Lacrosse

games and for practice fields to meet the current need.

support of her sport and said there were fifty girls involved in Southlake Girls Lacrosse.
