[II) Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
UP IS CITIZEN COMMENTS. PERIOD. IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON ANY ITEM, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE DO SO. WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES, AND THAT YOU DIRECT THOSE COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD? YES, MA'AM. OKAY, SO MY NAME IS MRS. NEWBURY, ON THE EAST SIDE OF KYLE, OFF OF 150, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED WOODLANDS PARK. I'VE NEVER SPOKEN BEFORE. I HAVEN'T PREPARED ANYTHING, BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MR. ZUNIGA, WHO HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL ON FIGURING OUT WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING CARE OF THE PROPERTY ON COUNTY ROAD 158, BEHIND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S ALWAYS A MESS, AND WHEN I COME DOWN TO CR 158, IT SEEMS LIKE COOL SPRINGS, WHICH IS ALSO IN THE CITY, IS NICELY COIFFED AND BEAUTIFUL, HAS A NICE SIDEWALK, AND THEN YOU GET TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE'S OVERGROWN BUSHES AND TREES AND GARBAGE BACK THERE, AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. AND NOBODY WAS MOWING IT. SO FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO'S SUPPOSED TO DO IT, AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY.WELL, WE FOUND OUT THAT RECENTLY, ACCORDING TO CAD, IT'S NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. SO THEY MOWED FOR US AND NEXT THING I KNOW, THEY'VE MOVED OUT ALL THE BRUSH TO THE WEST SIDE OF WOODLANDS PARK, WOODLANDS DRIVE, EXCUSE ME. AND CR 158.
ALL THE DEBRIS IS STILL THERE, BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO THE LEFT. AND THAT REALLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF WOODLAND DRIVE THAT NEEDS TO BE RIPPED OUT AS WELL.
AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A RETENTION POND BACK THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT RETENTION PONDS DO, BUT IT'S SO OVERGROWN AND GROSS THAT THE NEIGHBORS CAN. MY NEIGHBORS CAN SMELL IT. THEIR ANIMALS ARE BEING DRIVEN CRAZY BY IT, AND THERE'S ALL KINDS OF VERMIN AND ANIMALS COMING OUT OF THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHO'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT EITHER, BUT I'M HOPING SOMEBODY HERE CAN CHECK INTO THAT AND LET ME KNOW. I DID TALK TO IS IT MR. LOPEZ FROM PARKS, THE NEW PERSON? I TOLD HIM I WILL BE SENDING HIM AN EMAIL. I'LL BE SENDING PICTURES. I'LL BE COPYING YOU. I'LL BE COPYING MR. ZUNIGA. I THINK RIZZO IS OUR GUY. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THIS SQUARED AWAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I'M
