City of Tallahassee Parks Department Meeting:
Robert Hicks met with City Parks Department representatives Randy Trousdale and David Chapman on Monday morning at the 80 acre site in Ox Bottom Manor. The City has upgraded the development of the 80 acre site to be included in their 5 year budget plan. The park area would be owned by the City but for the exclusive use of Ox Bottom Manor residents if developed. Robert will be meeting with the City again to discus details and the attorney will review all documents prior to any developments.

Common space on Meadow Ridge Drive was also discussed as being developed into a park for the homeowners. The Park Committee members will obtain quotes to have the area maintained and landscape improvements made, if the City would allow the project. Robert will submit an article about these park developments for production in the upcoming newsletter. Kathy Reardon, Gene Strickland, Steve Spook and Steve Stolting volunteered to be on the new Park Committee.
