5.2 PADIC Board - Park Restroom Project: Demeter Turner presented this item. The
presentation was included in the agenda packet. The contractor for the remodel of the Football,
Soccer and Pavilion at Ben Gill Park is making progress. The contractor is waiting on materials
(lavatories) to be delivered. Some items were on back order due to shortage. A pitch was added
to the roof of the pavilion to assist with moving water off of the roof. The facility was originally
built with a flat roof. Some of the wood had to be replaced due to rotting. There were additional
repairs that needed attention to preserve the existing facility that required additional funds which
we had in the budget that was given.
It is our goal, if weather permitting and materials are available, to open the restrooms to the
public in September. Once completed we will schedule a tour for the City Council, PADIC and
Park Board to tour.
5.3 Kings Creek Grant Application:We have solar lighting approved for $10500 for the
playground area which does include concrete work and installation. We submitted the application
two weeks ago for Local 2024 Grant application for additional walking trails, restroom, magnolia
grove, and berm. We’re expecting to receive a response from the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department by December/January. We’re looking at May 2024 year as a start time frame once
final approval is received.
6. BUSINESS ITEMS (ACTION ITEMS):
6.1 - DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR
CROSSROADS PARK PROJECT:
The amendment includes laying the following items into the design: utilities, a restroom and a
bridge for connectivity from Film Alley’s parking lot to the park. There’s a timeline for approval
that is required in order to submit the change. Mrs. Kelsey Wyble and Mrs. Patty Yocum
expressed their concerns regarding the cost of the amendment.
Glenn Caldwell joined the meeting via phone and explained that we have to abide by the Texas
Engineering and Land Surveying Practice Acts and Rules when it comes to an Engineering firm
fee schedule. The costs associated with their services/fee schedule are non-negotiable. Glenn
Caldwell recommends meeting with the City Attorney concerning the legal rules of Professional
Engineering Services. The Park Board is an advisory board to make recommendations and
express concerns but it is the City Council who makes the final decision.
A motion was made by Caroline Brown as a recommendation to take this item before the City
Council for approval of the amended contract. Second by Savannah Nordstrom. Motion
carried.

ITEM 5.3. CURRENT
City of Terrell
Commemorative Tree Planting Program
Making A Lasting Contribution…
The Terrell Parks Department, in its desire to enhance public property and encourage an aesthetically pleasing environment,
has established a tree donation program. This program enables citizens to have a tree planted and maintained by the City of
Terrell within public right-of-ways, parks or other city controlled areas to celebrate a special occasion such as a wedding,
anniversary or birthday. Trees can also be planted as a memorial for a friend or family member. A commemorative plaque
can be installed with the original planting. Applications can be picked up at City of Terrell Service Center or call us at
(972) 551-6614 and we’ll be happy to mail one to you. Donations made to the City of Terrell are tax deductible.
Rules:
1. The city and the donor must mutually agree on the proposed location. Factors such as vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
underground and aboveground utilities, property lines, availability of water, and other factors shall be considered.
2. Any tree planted shall be listed on the current Master Tree List. This list shall be developed based on native species,
long-term maintenance, degree of hardiness, growth rate, as well as other considerations.
3. All trees will be purchased, installed and maintained by the city through the parks department. This includes the
original planting, replacement if necessary, pruning, pest and fungus control, removal, storm damage repairs, staking,
etc.
4. The seasonal planting of new or replacement trees shall occur from November through February, weather permitting.
5. A commemorative plaque, if desired, can be installed with the original planting. The plaque shall be made of granite,
approximately 10”x12”, with a maximum of three (3) lines of text or numbers and a maximum of twelve (12) letters or
numbers per line. The plaque will be installed at ground level.
6. Regarding deciduous versus evergreens, because of dense bushy growth in many cases, and the resultant shading
problems in the winter months, the use of evergreen trees is limited to carefully chosen sites and only where the above-
mentioned problems can be minimized.
