The committee discussed the proposal and expressed the following suggestions.
• Commodore Cove Park does not need to be enlarged. Instead use the developer's
monetary exchange to better develop the existing Commodore Cove Park.
• A park is needed in the Cape Summer area. Discussion was held about maintenance
regarding the sand and sticker burrs. Karen Woodard reported on new grasses being
developed and tested on the Port Aransas beach.
• It was also suggested that the park areas be developed before they are turned over to
the City. Discussion regarding the percent of completeness was held.
• Maintenance issues and current funding restrictions were also discussed.

maintenance.
