Comments by the Public.
Michelle Williams commented that she wanted to be involved. She illustrated disappointment
about not being appointed to the Park and Recreation Board or interviewed for a PYSC Board
position. Mitchell explained that the PYSC board selection committee's desire to narrow down
applicants similar to job selection due to constraints on time and availability.
Consider and act upon Prosper Little League's proposed banner guidelines at Frontier
Park.
Chuck Washburn, with Prosper Little League discussed the banner designs that have been up for
the season. Washburn stated that he was not familiar with Terri McCutcheon's banner proposal
that was submitted. Sanchez asked what other cities did, and Mitchell presented surrounding
municipality direction on banners in public spaces and fields. Prosper was the only one that
allowed banners for an extended time period. Washburn indicated that 20 banners were sufficient
for the fields. The Board did not act on approving more banners on fencing but agreed to
continue allowing banners on dugouts as previously approved. Prosper Little League will
maintain the current banners to ensure consistency and take down at the end of the season.
Newell, suggested that Prosper Little League assess something other than extended use of
banners for revenue sponsorships.

Star Trail PD rezoning request. (Z13-0018).
