gets isn’t enough to keep up with needed street repairs and a levy would provide the Village the
ability to maintain the streets and make repairs on a more regular basis.

not park in the parking spaces designated for park activity.
• Nelson Embrey asked if there was an update on the Ashton Woods Village HOA. The VA said he
would prefer discussing it at the next Committee of the Whole meeting. Embrey then asked if the
