   Adding no littering signage on the streets leading into the harbor and spread some around the harbor. Spread this signage around town. Visitors are throwing their trash out the windows of their vehicles and also pulling over to the side of the road and dumping trash. There needs to be a deterrent to this bad behavior. Adding trash receptacles around the harbor would also help to keep the area cleaner. Accidents happen and the wind can be strong, but there are those who don't think twice about trashing the area.

The city has all the equipment, we just need to adopt this to get more out of the hours spent doing Community Service. This seems to simple not to work.

4. For border roads like mine (W. Beasley) keep the bar ditches clear and cleaned out. I have had standing water for 6-7 weeks on my drive.

   Keep the bar ditches clean and clear on roads like mine (W. Beasley). I have had standing water since Sept. (7 weeks) and no activity trying to move the water down to the drain at Saunders. Just a trickle there. If we want people to move in and build new homes like I did, we need to at least keep the rain drainage going. City does not supply us water or sewer service, the least they could do is keep us from sitting in stinky dirty mosquito water for months when all they need to do is clear the ditches. Most of the homeowners out here mow the right-of-way but some large unimproved lots stay full of weeds and sand-in. This keeps the water stuck in our yards! HELP !!

5. Turn old high school property (the one across from the civic center) into a park

   Why not arrange with APISD to move the bus barns to the park by the aquatic center and make the old high school property into a park with biking, walking and a little skate park. It’s more central,...

   Why not arrange with APISD to move the bus barns to the park by the aquatic center and make the old high school property into a park with biking, walking and a little skate park. It’s more central, much safer and way less scary than the current park. That park is so isolated most of the time and It doesn’t really feel very safe to be there.
