Park Board Meeting Page | 2 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. Ayes-4 and Nayes-2 (Kelsey Wyble and Patty Yocum) 7. ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETING: ● Add a tankless tank to Breezy Hill ● Soccer Field Irrigation Page 4 of 17 ITEM 3.1.
