Looking for Volunteers & Recommendations

Scott Smith, one of our newly elected Highland City Councilmen, will soon be pushing for the City Council to begin "traveling council meetings" where they will go out to all neighborhoods, sit down with the citizens, and start a communication process. He has also requested some "brainstorming" to see how he (they) can help in the open space neighborhoods (see post labeled "Brainstorming"). These meetings will be open for everyone, but he is looking to have some key representatives from each area to advocate for these developments in the future. It would be beneficial to have several representatives from the Highland Hills, Chamberry Fields, and Mercer Hollow subdivisions involved. If you are interested or interested in recommending someone, please send your name or the name of the person you are interested in recruiting to openspace@q.com.

Brainstorming

We now have a great opportunity to start "brainstorming" about ways that we can work with open space concerns. Send your ideas, suggestions, comments, complaints, vetting, questions, thoughts, gripes, hopes, dreams, plans, etc. etc. to openspace@q.com and this information will be compiled and sent to our new Mayor and City Council in an un-edited format. This will give them an opportunity to see what hasn't been working, what has, and ways that we think they can make things continue or improve upon.

Scott Smith, one of our new Highland City Councilmen, has requested that we write down our concerns, ideas, suggestions, etc. for our open space areas. He is also looking for solutions to the problems that we have encountered in the past. This is a great opporunity for us to brainstorm as a neighborhood and let them know what problems we see and the solutions we feel would work. This information will be sent to them from all three of our open space developments in the Highland Hills area. While a lot of the open space developments are very different and have very different concerns, the compiling of information from this specific area in one large group will give them an idea about specifics in each open space area.

So, have fun brainstorming new ideas, give input about things that have worked well, get your thoughts "off your chest", vent, whatever you want, just make sure to make your voice heard! The more comments, negative or positive, the better idea they will have about what has worked and what will need to be done. The person publishing this blog does not offend easily, so feel free to say whatever you want. Just make sure to say it. Again, send this to openspace@q.com.
