6. Discussion on Town Events
a. Recent Events
• Prosper Christmas Festival
Mr. Franco commented that the festival was very well attended. Councilmember
Hodges mentioned that he thought this year's festival had the feeling of being able to
spend all day at it rather than just coming at night for the tree lighting. Councilmember
Bartley liked the stage set up where it was still in view as attendees shopped with
vendors.
7. Voice of the Town
Ms. Smith introduced the new agenda item as an opportunity for committee members to share
what they are hearing around town that could potentially guide future engagement
opportunities. Ms. Willis spoke of a recent a -bike accident that injured a minor resident and
gave praise to the efforts being set forth by the Prosper Police Department for registrations.
Councilmember Bartley shared some of the recent feedback from the a -bike registration
events and that a standout note is parents not knowing the differences between a -bikes and
e-motorcycles. It was also shared with the committee the opening of the Raymond Park
pickleball courts.

The Committee recommended the following for the CEC Top 3 this month:
