· Service department will look to put a picnic table on east side of the creek near the new headwall installed at the point where the trail crosses over the creek.
· The committee decided to not put any trashcans in the preserve because it is extra work for the service department and it encourages the public to carry out their trash. It also discourages people from dumping trash at the trashcan.
