Due to lack of a quorum, the meeting began late, and as a result Vice-President Potter asked for the
administrative comments first.
Agenda Item No. 5. Administrative Comments.
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.
The Board discussed dates and times for a special meeting to discuss the proposed budget and the
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.
Director Jackson advised the board of a Joint Utilization project with the Carroll Independent School

and the gym floor. The total project is $52,000. The City will use $15,000 of funds previously approved
in the CEP.
Agenda Item No. 4. Public Forum.
Kelli Riley, 1374 Woodbrook Lake, Southlake, Texas, President of the Southlake Carroll Lacrosse
Association advised the board of the SCLA need for practice fields and lighted fields. She is concerned

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.
