Also reported that there is a major retail/residential development at Whitney Way/Mineral Point Rd corner. Some nice trees will have to be removed but most are low-value invasive species. There will be three ponds, and a lot of earth moved. Figueroa Cole noted that she will be meeting with the developers. Announcements: Lamb is checking on food vendors for the concerts, but initial feedback from restaurant was that they may not be able to handle all requests so might need additional options. Will check on food carts again despite some past disappointing service. Cardin pointed out that the Library cannot host meetings yet, so June will be via Zoom. Meeting was adjourned about 8:36 p.m. Submitted respectfully by C. Kreimendahl, Secy.
