He would like to see some hoops that are toddler size or youth size hoops in <br /> the parks. He noted he would be willing to donate five basketball hoops. He also explained <br /> it would be nice if the City brought back the open house to see what kind of community <br /> engagement would happen in a relaxed environment. The open houses were always <br /> popular with a ton of people there. He indicated a few years ago the City thought they <br /> were hiring too many outside consultants and for a while the City tried to cut that down, <br /> but it seems like the past few years just about everything being done in the City requires <br /> an outside consultant to do the work and it would be nice for the Council to determine if <br /> those consultants are really needed or not. He stated he has spent a lot of time on the U of <br /> M Campus lately and he has seen a lot of emergency call boxes everywhere. He thought <br /> the City should get them in the parks, especially at the pool. It would be nice and easy to <br /> hookup at the pool because the Wi-Fi is already there. He noted he would give the City up <br /> to a thousand dollars to put in an emergency call box at the pool if the City would agree to <br /> do that. He thought the Council should be expanded to six members rather than four to <br /> give more diversity because there is no diversity at the top right now and it probably will <br /> not happen unless there are more seats. <br />
