2. Discuss the status of road improvement and traffic signal projects.
Town Administrator Doug Mousel gave a general overview of road improvements and the traffic signal project at SH 289 and East First
Street.
s. Discuss the possible continuation of an agreement between the Town of Prosper and the Prosper Independent School
'strict regarding a community library.
Drew Watkins feels the shortcoming of attendance at the library has strictly been as a result of the inability to communicate the library to
the public as a whole. If better communicated, he feels that the public will be more aware that the use of the library is open to the general
public as well as to the school children.
Mayor Pro -Tem Lisa Dritschler and Mike Wadsworth asked the school district if they could quantify the numbers of non -student related use
of the library. Mr. Watkins suggested that as a contracted service to the Town and the community, he thought it would be a good idea for
the library/PISD to provide a quarterly report, which he agreed to see through.
Mike Wadsworth stated he would support contributions of at least one more year of support to the library before anything definitive
regarding a future commitment to the library is decided. Mayor Pro -Tem Lisa Dritschler stated that she is a supporter of continued support
to the library.
