PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN AND TEXAS FLAGS

led by Council Member Doug Glaspell.
Mayor Carter requested permission to allow the guests from
the Corps of Engineers to give their presentation first. it
regarded information on the wetlands area which Trophy Club
citizens have voiced concerns about future maintenance and
child safety.
Stan Walker confirmed that the Clean Water Act declares the
ten acres in Village West a wetlands under the jurisdiction
of the Corps of Engineers for the purpose of water quality
and wildlife habitat control. Because the Corps prefers the
wetlands be left as naturally as possible, little to no
maintenance is required. If that or safety issues arise, he
recommended obtaining grants and detailed information from
the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife.
Co -Chairman Vance Booker of the Planning and Zoning
Commission asked if it could be filled in or stocked with
fish.
Commissioner Janet Kardish asked about mosquito and bottom
weed control and an assessment of all Trophy Club for other
wetland areas.
Citizen David Schell of 30 Salida Drive inquired about
recreational use such as boating.
Both representatives from the Corps informed us that any
changes as those suggested would require permits and approval
on a case by case basis. The Corps is a regulatory body who
coordinates with the Texas Fish and Wildlife Department as
well as the E.P.A.
