Deputy Prochaska indicated that only one has registered so far. He expects interest to increase over the summer when people are out and about. Gary suggested Fox River Prairie Subdivision as a possible location for bicycle safety program. The Clerk is to check on whether a neighborhood association has been formed yet. Deputy Prochaska reported concern about parking at Case/Eagle Park during ball games. Many people are parking on the grass and he questioned how to handle this. His primary concern is about access for emergency vehicles.

A collection of (inert) old war souvenirs will also be on display to educate the public on what they look like. In addition to media, Milwaukee County and Racine County bomb squads will be invited.
