Citizen's Forum:
Sandy Veigh spoke about several issues at the golf course. Tee #1 (signature of the course) has tire marks around it and several obstacles that need repaired. Tee #7 Seniors must park about 30 yards away and should be closer to the box. Many of the ropes need to be replaced or repaired. Volunteers want to fix the but are not allowed to do so. The golf course needs to use volunteers.

Friends of the Park proposal:
Councilman Chavez brought to the QOL Board a proposal of establishing "Friends of the Park" organization like the one in existence at the Library. His wife suggested it to him and wanted to see if there was any interest. It would promote parks involvement, improvements, and donations. They would also look for park expansions. It should be affiliated but not a part of the city. The group should advocate for the parks and possibly do projects that the city can't do. Mr Stoddard said they will put out a social media post and he will speak to John Gallen about how the library does it. Mr Chavez says the board need find out if there is interest in the community in such an organization. If you are interested please comment on the blog to gauge community interest and "Speak Up!!! Copperas Cove" will pass it to the Parks.
Parks Master Plan discussion:
The current plan was approved by the city council in 2016 for five years for 3.7 million dollars. Phase 1 is almost finished (Parking lots, sidewalks, and walking trails). Phase 2 involves the bathrooms (Priority #1). Phase 3 involves more bathrooms and a concession stand. Mr Stoddard wants to refocus on City Park for lighting throughout it.
