Resident urges safer venues for R/C cars; Board asks counsel to research privacy for tax-assistance sites
Summary
During public comment, resident Bryan Miller asked the Board to consider District facilities as safer locations for radio-controlled cars used with neighborhood children; the Board referred the idea to a committee. Later, the Board asked counsel to research whether spaces used for free tax return services could be designated 'private' to limit law-enforcement access without a court order.
Resident Bryan Miller told the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District Board during public comment on Nov. 18 that he is introducing neighborhood children to radio-controlled (R/C) cars and asked whether certain District facilities might be designated as safer venues than public streets. Director Harper said the Board would refer the matter to the appropriate committee for further evaluation. Miller told the Board that in his experience the radio frequencies used for R/C cars were not industrial grade and did not cause interference.
Separately during the District Manager’s report, Shirley Ross said a group that uses District facilities to provide free tax return services inquired whether the portions of facilities used for the service could be designated as 'private' so that law enforcement—such as immigration enforcement—would need a court order to enter those areas. The Board directed legal counsel to research that question.
Ross also reported staff is working with Consor and Crossroads to investigate unusual master meter readings; no conclusion was recorded in the minutes.
The Board took no immediate action on Miller’s request and moved the R/C-car idea to committee for evaluation; legal research was requested on the tax-site privacy question.
