During a recent government meeting, officials discussed several community initiatives, including updates on a grant application and the opening of a new tiny library.

The meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to secure funding from Texas Parks and Wildlife for the replacement of netting at a local climbing structure near the water tower. Officials expressed optimism about the grant application, with results expected in January. Should the grant not be awarded, plans are in place to approach the city council for alternative funding to ensure the necessary repairs are made.

In addition to the climbing structure, the community center has introduced a pumpkin patch, which has been well-received as a family-friendly photo opportunity. This initiative aims to enhance community engagement and provide residents with enjoyable activities.

Another significant announcement was the completion of a tiny library at Turtle Park. The library, referred to as the \"turtle box,\" has been crafted by a local artist and features reinforced hinges and weatherproofing to protect the books inside. A grand opening for the tiny library is scheduled for October 22nd at 4 PM, inviting residents to participate in this new addition to the community.

Officials also encouraged residents to utilize the PW CARES website for reporting community issues, emphasizing its effectiveness in streamlining communication with public works and parks departments. Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to enhancing community resources and fostering local engagement.
