VI. COUNCIL REPORTS
A. GARY DAVIS – CHAIRMAN
Mr. Davis announced that the Council training session was held on 05/20/2011. Sadly no one from the public or the San Miguel Advisory Council were able to attend.
B. OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS – The subject of the Community Park expansion came up. Ms. Shelby informed us that the go ahead will be grant related. And that the Public Works Department supports the closing of K St. between 12th and 13th Streets. This would allow the space for sports fields. Per Mike Sanders, Elizabeth Kavanaugh will be presenting the proposed plans at the Lions meeting on the first Thursday of the month and he invited the public to attend. Mary Kalvans introduced herself and announced that she had been a past Chairman of the San Miguel Sewer District for five years. She lives on L St. and expresses concern that closing K St. would funnel more traffic down L. St. She related that there is already a problem on L St., particularly between 8:30 – 9:00 AM when the traffic increases as school starts. She said she has contacted the Sheriff’s Dept and they came out on 2 times only. She states she also spoke with Elizabeth Kavanaugh about the speed in 1999, to no avail. Jean Hoffmann also expressed her concern about the traffic and speed. Sharon Brower stated that when she takes or picks up her grandchildren from school she uses L St. because it is a “straight shot” to the entrance to the school and the closure of K St. or not would make no difference to her. Ms. Kalvans felt a four way stop would help with the speeding. Both Ms’ Hoffmann and Brower agreed. There were also questions re: the cross walk to the school.

VII. COMMUNITY REPORTS
A. CSD – DALE HAMBLIN
Mr. Hamblin reports that they are still looking for a new general manager. Currently, they have an Administrative Assistant; Mrs. Muehler as well as a high school student, who comes in 2x week to do filing. The CSD also hired a CPA to do their accounting. Mary Kalvans raised an issue to Mr. Hamblinabout sewer and garbage. She asked Mr. Hamblin if he knew that Mr. Pete Rose had passed away and said she has been taking care of things at his home since his demise. She said she had notified the garbage company that he had died and was advised by them to go to the CSD and personally advise them. She also expressed concern about the cost to the taxpayer for the helicopter which was in the air looking for K____ D________ and felt it was overkill as well as having the copter hovering over houses. After repeating the subjects name several times Sharon Brower interrupted her and requested that she refrain from using his name repeatedly, stating that the Council had previously determined that it was inappropriate to belabor his identity, as his family and friends reside in the area and this could be embarrassing to them. Ms. Kalvans apologized and refrained from the consistency of his name, stating that her concern was the money spent on the pursuit of this individual.
C. SAN MIGUEL RESOURCE CONNECTION – No report from any representative.
