COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS:
Marilyn Werenskjold who lives at 6909 Wolfe Pen Branch Road (which is formerly known as the Allison-Barrickman House) presented the Council with a detailed historical background they had compiled concerning the Allison-Barrickman House (which is 100 years old), the land and Cemetery along with several pictures. Their home is listed on the National Register. Mayor Kehlbeck thanked Mrs. Werenskjold for all her effort and hard work in putting this very interesting information together and sharing it with the Council and those in attendance.

Mr. Ed Rademaker of Hunting Creek expressed his concerns to the Council regarding any action the Prospect Green 2010 Committee has taken which is part of the Harrods Creek Corridor. He asked the Council to please make any resident who lives' in his neighborhood aware of any decision pending by the Prospect Green 2010 Committee. Mayor Kehlbeck informed Mr. Rademaker no decision had been made regarding the Harrods Creek Corridor. The Prospect Green 2010 Committee has been working on the Putney Pond Purchase. Mayor Kehlbeck assured Mr. Rademaker that if any decision concerning Harrods Creek Corridor was to come up, the City will be made aware of it by Emails and City Newsletter. Mayor Kehlbeck said he would be sure the residents were contacted.

Mr. Guy Amstutz of Commonwealth Sign Company presented the Council with a request to allow Waterworks Car Wash to use a sign they had made up which is not in compliance with the City of Prospect Sign Ordinance. A discussion followed and no variance would be approved on Waterworks sign request.

POLICE REPORT:
Chief Wilson presented the Police Report.   He told the Council the Self-Defense Class for Women was a huge success with 25 residents participating in the program. He received numerous letters and phone calls from the residents who participated in the class saying how much they learned from Officer Loeser and Officer Timmons. They had fun and received valuable information that they believe will protect them and give them an opportunity to escape from the individual.

Council Member Lee Zimmerman read a letter to the Council that he had received from Chief Chris Aponte of the Harrods Creek Fire Department regarding the amount of time it takes EMS to respond to an emergency call in the City and surrounding areas.   Chief Aponte is working to bring advanced life support engine companies to the Harrods Creek Fire Department.   Chief Aponte told Council Zimmerman he is asking for support to help fund an expensive piece of equipment which would be a potential life saver.
