Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 4 businesses. I think we do part of that already. We could have business forums where people can come in. I don't know if anyone in the audience knows you can go to Mr. Beams and buy products. They actually have a store there. You can buy the motion detector lights. They are selling wireless. It's pretty amazing. It's in our backyard and we need to know more about it so we have more engagement. The businesses are not getting the brochures like Voice of the Village or information on our programmings. They. have employees who want to participate and . want to know more about events. I think it's a very timely cominent you made. It's timely in many aspects that we really try to engage these businesses and make sure they feel a part of the community. We need them. We want them. We value them. This is just another way of figuring this out. I am going to convene a meeting of the Community Economic Development Committee on a date to be determined. This will be the topic of discussion. I encourage all Council, whether you are a member of the Committee or not, everyone should come. We can have a lively discussion about what this looks like for us. I appreciate your report, Mr. Meyers. Mr. Meyers stated, thank you. OPEN POI2TION . ; .? - For Public Comment (5-minute limit imposed by Chair) Gina Tweed 6604 SOM Court The ravine area and stream is directly behind me. I am here today just to express disappointment in what I currently see out there. During the time working with the city, different plans were shared with us in terms of what would be taken out. I will pass this around along with pictures of what it looks like today. Different plans were shared with us. We as a community focused on not getting that walkway in so we would not have such destruction to that environment. We specifically talked about the trees and conserving that environment. I have been travelling for the last three and a half weeks. I got up on Friday to get ready for work and much to my amazement there was total destruction back there of many trees that were not out where they are going to redirect the stream but up close by our homes were being cut down. We came here on good faith working with Rachel and the Sewer District on what would be taken out and what would not be taken out. We did not have an opportunity to see this. It was just shared with us today.
