[1. Call to Order / Roll Call]

[00:00:07]

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO THE JUNE 12TH, 2025 MEETING OF THE PARKS AND REC BOARD OF DIRECTORS. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS TO CALL ROLL. AND I SEE BOARD MEMBERS HERE ARE KERRY CASTRO, KIM SHAMSIE, VALERIE LITTLE, MYSELF, DANIEL KNOX, BOB BENSON, JOHN METCALF AND KYLE LAFFERTY. WE'RE ALL PRESENT TONIGHT. SECOND, WE HAVE THE STAFF MEMBERS. I SEE DAN BAKER. I SEE MATT FUR, TREVOR HELTON, KALEN STONE AND TALIA STEVENSON.

[2. Consider and act upon the minutes of the May 8, 2025 Parks and Recreation Board meeting.]

[4. Consider and act upon Raymond Community Park Sod Installation.]

OH, SORRY. OKAY. OKAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SORRY ABOUT THAT. I DON'T USUALLY PUT THE MIC OUT. IT'S OKAY. SO INITIALLY, THE PLAN WAS TO.

WE'RE STARTING THE BASEBALL COMPLEX, THE FOUR FIELDS. BUT WE WERE GOING TO SEE THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS, THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS. WHEN WE FIRST GOT STARTED ON THIS PROJECT, REALLY WEREN'T WE WERE NOT GOING TO IRRIGATE THEM. WE WERE REALLY NOT GOING TO PROGRAM. THEY WERE GOING TO JUST BE OPEN SPACE THROUGH THE ITERATIONS ON THIS PROJECT, WE REALLY DETERMINED IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THOSE FIELDS ONLINE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. SO INITIALLY WE FELT PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THE HYDROMULCH, BUT THE WAY THIS PROJECT IS TRACKING THE SEED WOULD PROBABLY NOT GO DOWN TILL LATE SUMMER EARLY FALL, WHICH MEANS THERE'S NO WAY IT WOULD BE READY FOR PLAY IN THE SPRING. WE ALREADY KNOW. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS ROOM THAT THE ATHLETIC FIELDS ARE NOT GOING TO OPEN IN THE FALL. IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GROW IN EVEN THE SOD. SO WE WANT TO GIVE THEM A GOOD FEW MONTHS TO ESTABLISH THE REST OF THE PARK. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE HOPING TO BE OPEN SEPTEMBER OCTOBER, WHICH WHICH WILL BE GREAT, BUT WITH THE TIMING, THERE'S NO WAY THAT IF WE HAD TO MULCH THESE FIELDS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE READY FOR PLAY IN THE SPRING. SO WE DO HAVE CONTINGENCY DOLLARS THAT CAN COVER THE ADDITIONAL COST.

SO BASICALLY WE WOULD GET A CREDIT BACK ON THE SEED. AND BUT THE DELTA THE ADDITIONAL COST NEEDED IS ALMOST $276,000. BUT WE DO HAVE THAT IN OUR CONTINGENCY FUNDING. SO WE DID PRESENT THIS TO THE CIP SUBCOMMITTEE BACK IN MAY, AND THEY WERE IN FAVOR OF THE ADDITIONAL COST, KNOWING THAT THERE WAS REALLY NO IT WASN'T GOING TO PULL FROM ANY OTHER PROJECTS OR ANY OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. WE HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THAT. SO I'M JUST ASKING YOU ALL TO GIVE US APPROVAL. WE'LL BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO GO TO COUNCIL IN THE ON THE 24TH. WE WANT TO ASK THEM FOR APPROVAL, BUT THAT'S REALLY IT. DAN, I FEEL LIKE WE KIND OF TOUCHED ON THIS LAST MONTH. CORRECT. AND THEN IT WAS GOING TO CIP IN MAY. I THINK IF YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M NOT ASKING ANYBODY NOT TO ASK A QUESTION. BUT WE DID TOUCH ON IT. IT WENT BEFORE CIP. I THINK THEY'RE FOR IT. WE YOU'VE GOT DOLLARS SET ASIDE. I THINK IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT FOR THE TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION AND USAGE OF THE PARK AS WELL. RIGHT. OKAY. YES. OR OR IS THIS IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME, LIKE THE 400,000. SO THE TOTAL COST IS RIGHT AROUND 400,000.

[00:05:02]

RIGHT. SO YES. SO BASICALLY THE PROJECT WILL INCREASE BY THAT $276,000. GOT IT. OKAY. YES.

THANK YOU. CAN I CAN I PLAY THE NEW CARD AND ASK WHO SITS ON THE CIP SUBCOMMITTEE? YOU SURE CAN JUST I. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO THE IS IT STAFF? I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE SO. SO YEAH. SO THERE'S THREE I'M SORRY. THERE'S THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT SIT ON THERE AND THEN THERE'S STAFF FROM FROM PARKS TOWN MANAGER'S OFFICE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND ENGINEERING. SO EVERYBODY HAS TO GO ASK FOR MONEY OR OR ANYBODY WHO'S INVOLVED WITH CAPITAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENT AT THOSE MEETINGS. BUT ESSENTIALLY IT'S THE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT MAKE THOSE DECISIONS WHETHER TO CARRY IT FORWARD OR AND I MEAN AND I IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE GOOD PROFESSIONALLY FOR ME TO STILL TAKE IT FORWARD TO COUNCIL AFTER IT'S BEEN SHOT DOWN BY THREE COUNCIL IN THE FIRST MEETING OR BRING IT TO YOU. SO TYPICALLY THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST STEP. IF THEY GIVE US A THUMBS UP I COME TO YOU ALL AND THEN I TAKE IT TO COUNCIL. IF THEY SAY WE DON'T WANT TO GO THAT ROUTE, THEN WE PRETTY MUCH CLOSE THE DOOR AT THAT POINT. AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YEAH. LEAVES YOU ENOUGH IN THE CONTINGENCY TO MAKE IT THROUGH IN CASE SOMETHING BIG HAPPENS AGAIN. YEAH. IT'S UNPREDICTABLE. BASICALLY HOW WE'VE BEEN BUILDING THIS PARK. WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR ESSENTIAL THINGS IN. AND THEN AS WE, WE GET TO CERTAIN MILESTONES SO WE KNOW WE PUT TOGETHER ALSO FOR THE PARKING LOTS. CONCRETE'S EXPENSIVE PARKING LOTS ARE EXPENSIVE ONCE WE GET THROUGH BUILDING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE AS WE'RE AS WE'RE EXCAVATING SOIL, THERE COULD BE A 1963 VOLKSWAGEN BURIED OR SOMETHING. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND. SO THAT'S WHAT THOSE CONTINGENCY DOLLARS ARE FOR. BUT WHEN WE BUILD THAT, WE BUILD EACH ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS WITH CONTINGENCY. SO ONCE WE GET PAST A CERTAIN PARKING LOTS ARE DONE, WE'RE GOOD. NO OTHER EXPENSES. AND WE DIDN'T BURN OUT THAT ALL THAT CONTINGENCY, THAT CONTINGENCY ROLLS FORWARD INTO THE PROJECT. SO IT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HELP COVER THIS ONE. WE DID HAVE SOME CONTINGENCY DOLLARS WITH THE SEATING, BUT TWO, WE'VE HAD SOME SAVINGS ON SOME OF THESE OTHER DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT. SO THOSE KIND OF JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE A KIND OF A WISH LIST. AND WE'VE REALLY ACHIEVED MOST OF THOSE. THERE'S A COUPLE SMALLER ITEMS THAT WE PROBABLY WILL NOT GET DONE WITH WHAT OUR WITH OUR CURRENT FUNDING, BUT IT'S NOTHING REALLY SIGNIFICANT. I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THIS PARK IS GOING TO BE BUILT REALLY THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE BUILT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

1963 VOLKSWAGEN IS KIND OF A SPECIFIC SCENARIO. OR JUST HOW MY BRAIN WORKS. SOMETIMES I JUST I WAS I WAS GRASPING. SO I'D LOVE TO GET MATT'S PERSPECTIVE. ANY THOUGHTS MATT, ON THIS APPROACH. AND DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT SURVIVABILITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH THIS APPROACH? NO, THIS IS WHAT I RECOMMENDED. OKAY. THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO SAVE EVERYTHING. IT WAS WHEN I STARTED TALKING INTO THE WAY THE IRRIGATION IS LAID OUT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE RUN INTO.

THERE WAS NO THERE WAS NO CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL AT THAT POINT. WE'RE STILL COMING BACK RIGHT NOW AT LAKEWOOD AND HAVING TO JUST COMMON AREAS COME BACK, BECAUSE WHEN THE SEED WAS PUT DOWN, WE HAD A COUPLE RAINS. BUT SEED WILL WASH. DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPEN OR DOESN'T OR JUST ISN'T VIABLE AT SOME SOME CAPACITY. SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH ANOTHER ITERATION, NOT AT OUR COST, BUT FOR THEM TO COME DOWN AND PUT MORE SEED DOWN AND GET IT GOING. SO WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID A SITUATION LIKE THAT. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYDROMULCH AND HYDRO SEED? NO. IT'S OKAY.

OKAY. SEMANTICS. OKAY. WHEN I THINK OF MULCH I THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. NO, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. AND ARE THE MARKUP INSURANCE AND FEE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR CMAA CONTRACT? YES, YES. I JUST WANTED TO ASK A GOOD QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU WANT US TO TAKE IT TO VOTE? I'M GUESSING? YES, SIR. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'D LIKE TO SAY ASK FOR A VOTE ON THE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE COMMUNITY PARK, HYDRO, HYDRO SEEDING PROCESS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? YEP. MOVE TO VOTE. OKAY. OKAY. FIRST ONE BOB FOR MOVE TO VOTE, ANYBODY. SECOND, MOVE TO VOTE SECOND. OKAY. SECOND FROM VALERIE. OKAY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? NONE. SEVEN ZERO PASS. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT

[5. Consider and act upon an agreement with Prosper Area Soccer Organization for Raymond Community Park Lighting.]

[00:10:06]

ROBERT IS THE PRESIDENT OF PASO. AND. THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE SAME FIELD. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS. EVEN WITH IT BEING IRRIGATED AND NOW SODDED WITHOUT LIGHTS, THE ABILITY ON THOSE FIELDS IS GOING TO BE LIMITED, RIGHT? PROBABLY THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHICH WE'RE NOT PLANNING A LOT OF SOCCER IN THE SUMMER, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET IN THE FALL AND EARLY SPRING, IT'S STILL GETTING DARK EARLY ENOUGH WHERE THOSE FIELDS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE USED A LOT DURING THE WEEK ANYWAYS. SO MR. PATRICK MADE A VERY GENEROUS OFFER, AND SO RIGHT NOW, THE COST OF THAT LIGHTING WITH CONTINGENCY. AND WE THINK THIS IS A I THINK WE MAY EVEN DO A LITTLE BETTER ON IT THAN THE 2 MILLION, BUT IT'S APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION TO PUT TO LIGHT ALL THOSE FIELDS. ROBERT OFFERED THAT PASO WOULD FUND $950,000 OF IT. ACTUALLY, HE OFFERED TO COVER THE WHOLE AMOUNT OVER A COURSE OF YEARS, BUT CIP SUBCOMMITTEE, SAME MEETING BACK ON MAY, THEY DECIDED. THANK YOU FOR THE $950,000. THE TOWN REALLY NEEDS TO PICK UP THE REMAINING. THE REMAINDER OF THAT PROJECT COST, WHICH WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY FUNDING ON SOME PROJECT SAVINGS AND PARK FEES THAT WE HAVE IN THE IN THE BANK. SO MY ESTIMATE IS WE'LL PROBABLY COME FORWARD WITH APPROXIMATELY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO DO THAT. BUT THAT'S THIS IS A HUGE, HUGE OFFER. I MEAN, ALMOST $1 MILLION FROM ONE OF OUR YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS. SO I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO COUNCIL WITH YOUR APPROVAL. JUNE 24TH. AND BUT WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU ALL TO DO IS TO APPROVE AND APPROVE THE ACCEPTING OF THEIR OFFER OF THE $950,000. AND WE CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ROBERT IS GRACIOUSLY OFFERED TO, TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. SO WITH THAT, WHAT DOES THAT GET THEM? NOTHING. NO PREFERENTIAL, NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OR FIELDS. NOW, NOT TO SAY THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE THEM, BUT THEY WON'T WHEN WE ALL COME TOGETHER BEFORE IN THE IN THE SUMMER BEFORE FALL STARTS AND MATT AND TREVOR SIT WITH THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND WE START TALKING ABOUT WHAT FIELDS ARE THEY GOING TO NEED THIS AND THAT. THESE WILL BE ADDITIONAL FIELDS WE GET TO ADD EVERY ONE OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS IS GROWING, EVERY ONE OF THEM. SO WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE. ONCE WE GET THIS APPROVED, WE'LL HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE BASICALLY STATING THAT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US THE MONEY, BUT NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NO STRINGS ATTACHED. THEY'RE JUST SAYING, HERE'S $1 MILLION.

THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HOW QUICKLY CAN WE VOTE I'M SORRY QUESTIONS. IS THAT JUST FOR THE INITIAL INSTALLATION OF THE LIGHTS. AND THEN IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE AUTOMATED, LIKE A, LIKE A MUSCO LIGHTING SYSTEM.

YEAH. SO THIS IS ALL MAINTAIN. YES. THESE WILL BE THE TOWN'S LIGHTS. IT'S JUST THEY'RE GOING TO BE ATHLETIC LIGHTING LIKE WE HAVE IN ALL OF OUR OTHER PARKS. SO THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. YEAH.

AND AT THE SAME TIME THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE SAME SAME OPTION AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE.

ALL RIGHT. CAN WE GET A MOTION TO VOTE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE TAKE THAT MONEY QUICK. CAN I GET A SECOND, KYLE? SECONDS. ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MULTI-PIECE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD LIGHTING AT RAYMOND COMMUNITY PARK. ALL THOSE WITH A VISUAL IN AN I SAY AYE. AYE. ALL RIGHT, SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE GENEROUS. THAT'S

[6. Receive an update from Kimley-Horm regarding the Doe Branch Community Park Master Plan.]

[00:15:02]

SO THE REST OF THE BOARD, AS SOON AS THEY GET US THE COMPLETED UPDATE, THEN YES, WE'LL GET THAT EMAILED OUT SO YOU GUYS CAN LOOK AT IT AND DEVELOP ANY QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT TO LOOK AT JUST IN TWO MINUTES TO COME UP WITH GOOD QUESTIONS. SO NO, THAT'S MORE THAN FINE OKAY. ALL RIGHT I APPRECIATE IT. YEAH. IT TAKES A DAY. NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE

[7. Receive staff updates: Recreation, Park Development, Park Operations, and Director.]

SO FIRST OF ALL WE HAD A TOTAL OF 351 RESPONSES FOR OUR SPECIAL EVENT SURVEY, WHICH I AM THRILLED WITH. EXCUSE ME, WE HAD A LOT OF I HAVE A LOT OF CHARTS AND GRAPHS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT WITH YOU. WE WILL BRING THAT BACK IN AUGUST. THERE WERE THREE QUESTIONS THAT WERE SPECIFIC RESPONSES THAT THE PUBLIC PUT OUT. SO WE KIND OF WANT TO VET THOSE AND GO THROUGH THEM AND GET LIKE THE TOP ONES BEFORE WE GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. BUT I CONSIDER THAT SUPER SUCCESSFUL. I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND I REALLY THINK MOVING FORWARD FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, THIS WILL HELP GUIDE US INTO THE NEXT SEASON OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO NEXT UP IS OUR BLOOMS AND BUBBLY. THIS WAS OUR FIRST SIP AND STROLL. WE ACTUALLY ANGELA AND I WENT DOWN THERE, WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, WENT THROUGH THE CHECK IN, WENT INTO ALL THE BUSINESSES. ONE OF THE BUSINESSES TOLD US THAT THAT WAS THE MOST TRAFFIC THEY'VE EVER HAD IN THE STORE. SO WE CONSIDER THIS SUPER SUCCESSFUL. EVERYONE BEHAVED. THAT WAS A WE WERE THAT WAS A CONCERN OF OURS. SO EVERYONE BEHAVED. IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. I'LL TALK ABOUT THIS IN A MINUTE, BUT OUR NEXT ONE WILL BE JULY 19TH. SO SUPER EXCITED TO CONTINUE THAT. THERE WILL BE THREE MORE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. SO BUT GREAT, GREAT EVENT. HOW DO THEY ALL ARE THEY ALL KIND OF SIMILAR IN NATURE TO SIP AND STROLL? IS THAT SO? YES. THE ONLY THING THAT DIFFERS IS LIKE THE TASTING, WHAT THEY OFFER THE ONE THE BLOOMS AND BUBBLY WAS KIND OF MORE SPECIFIC TO LIKE MOTHER'S DAY. IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME. THIS NEXT ONE I THINK, IS MORE IT'S A LITTLE BIT AFTER FATHER'S DAY, BUT MORE LIKE FATHER'S DAY RELATED. AND THEN THE THANKSGIVING WILL BE LIKE A FRIENDSGIVING. AND THEN OR BEFORE THAT THERE'S A LIKE AN NFL KICKOFF ONE. OKAY. SO THEY'RE KIND OF RELATED JUST TO LIKE SEASONAL EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO DO YOU ON THESE. DO YOU INTERFACE WITH PDC AT ALL OR IS THERE ANY JOINT EFFORT FOR, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENTS ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YES. SO YES AND NO. SO I DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT OKAY. WE FINANCIALLY WITH THEM NOT NECESSARILY FOR THIS EVENT BUT YES THROUGH PROMOTION THROUGH EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY ARE VERY INVOLVED ACTUALLY. WE HAVE AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EDC. SO WHEN IT COMES TO CONTACTING OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES, WE ALWAYS GO THROUGH THEM JUST KIND OF AS A LEVEL OF RESPECT. SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SEND OUT THE EMAILS, SEND OUT THE CORRESPONDENCE AND THEN GET BACK TO US. SO I WOULD SAY IT IS A VERY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM THROUGH THIS. GOOD. ALRIGHTY. MEMORIAL DAY, SO GREAT EVENT. WE WERE SUPER WORRIED ABOUT THE WEATHER THAT WAS I THINK I WAS UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING. I THINK YOU WERE TOO. IT WAS A LITTLE WET, BUT IT WASN'T RAINING AT THE ACTUAL EVENT, SO THAT WAS A HUGE BLESSING FOR US. I EVERY YEAR I ORDER MORE CHAIRS AND EVERY YEAR WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE. SO THIS IS YEAR TWO OF DOING THIS. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE MILITARY FOR NINE YEARS, SO THIS IS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO ME. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LOVE BEING A PART OF. IT'S SHORT AND SWEET BUT VERY MEANINGFUL. SO IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. OKAY, THIS ONE I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT. SO WE WANTED TO DO THIS LAST YEAR AND JUST KIND OF GOT DELAYED AND DECIDED TO PUSH IT OFF TILL THIS YEAR. SO ONE OF OUR DIRECTIVES FOR CELEBRATE PROSPER WAS TO MAKE IT MORE COMMUNITY ORIENTED. SO WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A PROSPER JAM OFF IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT. BUT IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO BE A BATTLE OF THE BANDS, SINGERS. PEOPLE WILL REGISTER, SUBMIT THEIR AUDITION VIDEOS. WE WILL VET THEM BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES. SO WE WILL VET THEM AND THEN WE WILL PICK THE TOP FIVE. AND WE'RE STILL NOT 100% SURE ON HOW WE'RE WORKING WITH VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH COMMUNICATIONS ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THAT VOTING OUT, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF LIKE IF A FACEBOOK POLL OR INSTAGRAM POLL, WE DON'T KNOW, LIKE THE

[00:20:05]

SORRY. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME A LITTLE BIT LONGER. WAIT. THERE'S MORE JULY 1ST. YEAH, I WAS DOING THE SLIDES. I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, WE'VE BEEN BUSY JULY 1ST. PRIOR TO THIS GUY, 5 TO 10 FIREWORKS WILL LAUNCH AT 930 FRONTIER PARK. AND THEN THAT'S HOSTED BY CEDARBROOK MEDIA. BUT WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO PUT ON THAT EVENT. AND THEN SATURDAY, JULY 19TH, FROM 12 TO 4 IS THE PROSPER ON TOP. AND LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DANIEL, THIS ONE WILL BE THE OR BOB I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF US, BUT THE BOURBON, BEER AND BUBBLY. THE LAST ONE WAS LIKE BLOOMS AND BUBBLY, SO IT WAS JUST LIKE CHAMPAGNE DRINKS. THIS ONE.

THEY'LL HAVE THE BOURBON AND THE BEER AND THE BUBBLY. SO LOTS OF OPTIONS ON THIS ONE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TOO THOUGH I WILL TELL YOU, WE DID HAVE AN AFTER ACTION MEETING WITH THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND THE EVENT ITSELF WAS VERY, VERY WELL RECEIVED. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE GOAL FOR THIS. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. AND LIKE I SAID, WE I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS FOR THAT. AND THE COMPANY WE'RE WORKING WITH HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL AS WELL. OKAY. LAST THING FOR ME CHRISTMAS IN JULY. SO WE HAD WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHEN WE WANT TO OPEN VENDOR APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO OUR EVENTS. WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH SOME NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH OTHERS. WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE PLENTY OF TIME, BUT NOT TOO MUCH TIME, RIGHT? SO WE HAD A BIG ASK THAT WE OPEN CHRISTMAS EARLIER THAN WHAT WAS SLATED, SO WE WERE SLATED FOR THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. WE DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO DO A HUGE PUSH FOR CHRISTMAS IN JULY, SO THIS WILL ACTUALLY GO OUT IN A LOCAL NEWS AD, BUT WE WILL OPEN ALL OF OUR NON-SPONSORED APPLICATIONS IN JULY, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF THE PUBLIC REACH OUT AND ASK, LIKE, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THAT? I'M LIKE, OKAY, WE'LL DO IT SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT. SO THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. WE OPEN THAT. SORRY. WHEN IN THE PAST HAVE WE OPENED? TYPICALLY I WOULD SAY LIKE AUGUST ISH. SOMETIMES EVEN BEFORE THAT THE FIRST YEAR I WAS HERE, I THINK WE OPENED IN LIKE FEBRUARY. BUT THAT GOT THAT WAS LIKE THAT WAS NOT GOOD. SO SORRY, I WAS JUST MAKING A COMMENT. THAT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT PEOPLE ARE ITCHING TO GET REGISTERED. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED AND CELEBRATE PROSPER. VENDOR APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN AS WELL. WE WERE GOING TO KIND OF DO THE SAME THING THE THREE MONTHS PRIOR, BUT IF PEOPLE ARE ASKING LIKE THAT, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. SO THOSE ARE OPEN AS WELL. AND WE HAVE A GOOD, A GOOD, STEADY CROWD ON THAT RIGHT NOW. SO. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK SO OKAY. THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP RECREATION IS TREVOR. GOOD EVENING PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD. JUST A FEW ITEMS TO DISCUSS. IN OUR LAST MEETING, WE HAD KIND OF BEEN REQUESTED TO KIND OF BRING BACK SOME INFORMATION ON THE CRICKET PITCH, SPECIFICALLY OVER AT LAKEWOOD PARK. SO THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL SLIDE THAT WE HAD FROM THE NOVEMBER 2024 PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING. AND THIS IS WHEN WE WERE KIND OF PRESENTING BASED ON FEEDBACK OF WHAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS GOES THROUGH, WE I'LL GO THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT QUICKLY BECAUSE WE HAVE PRESENTED IT BEFORE, BUT WE HAD LOOKED AT THE FLAT FEE OF $70 PER HOUR, COVERS. TWO SOCCER FIELDS ARE AND THESE ARE PARTIES. THIS IS RESIDENT RATES COVERS TWO SOCCER FIELDS WHICH WE CHARGE $35 PER HOUR. SO COVERING TWO FIELDS IT MADE SENSE TO YOU KNOW THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO CHARGE THAT MUCH. WE HAD ORIGINALLY SAID WEEKEND RENTALS ONLY WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC DAY. IT IS SATURDAY AND THIS IS BASED ON THE WATERING SCHEDULE, MAKING

[00:25:02]

YEAH. AND WE JUST IT'S RIGHT THERE WHEN YOU ENTER THE PARK AND IF NEED BE, IF WE NEED ANOTHER SIGN, WE CAN ALWAYS ADDRESS THAT LATER ON. BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST WE'RE GOING THROUGH A TRIAL PERIOD AND SEEING IF IT'S GOING TO WORK. WE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR AT FRONTIER PARK. THE MAYOR CALLED ME ONE SATURDAY AND WAS TRYING TO FIND HIS GRANDDAUGHTER'S SOCCER FIELD. AND IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT TO FRONTIER PARK ON A SATURDAY, YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF SOCCER FIELDS. SO. WE TRIED IT OUT THERE. IT'S WORKED GREAT. SO TREVOR HAD THE IDEA TO ROLL IT BACK OUT FOR LAKEWOOD. SO GOOD JOB TEAM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR TREVOR? I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SO IS IT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE OR THEY HAVE TO HAVE A RESERVATION. THIS SPECIFIC PITCH DOES NEED TO. OR THIS SPECIFIC FIELD DOES NEED TO BE RESERVED OKAY. SOI MEAN IF IT'S OPEN. BY THE RULES AND PROCEDURES. YES YOU DO NEED TO RENT THEM OUT. BUT IN CONTRARY TO ANY OF THE KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE ALLUDING TO, THE OPEN SPACE, THOSE ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. AS LONG AS YOU'RE FOLLOWING ALL THE RULES AND EVERYTHING, AND YOU'RE NOT

[00:30:05]

AND THEN THEY ALSO PAINTED THE WALLS AS WELL. SO THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT TOOK PLACE ALMOST ABOUT A MONTH AGO OR SO. SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH IT AND JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL EVEN THOUGH YEARS AWAY FROM A COMMUNITY CENTER, THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO IMPROVE THE FACILITIES THAT WE DO HAVE. I THINK IT LOOKS LIGHTER AND AREA. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, IT'S IT WAS I WISH I HAD AN OLD PICTURE, BUT WHERE THE KITCHEN AREA WAS, THAT WAS THE ACTUAL ONLY LIKE LAMINATE AREA AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE WAS CARPET. SO ONCE YOU REMOVED EVERYTHING IN THERE AND THEN WE ALSO REDID THE BATHROOM FLOORING AS WELL. SO THE BATHROOM FLOORING IS THE SAME AS THE MAIN BUILDING FLOORING. AND SO YEAH, IT LOOKS ESPECIALLY WITH THE PAINT. IT LOOKS BETTER AND. MAJORITY OF THE GROUPS THAT COME IN THERE ON A WEEKLY BASIS ARE ALL VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF IT AS WELL. OUT OF CURIOSITY, DO YOU KNOW THE TYPE OF PRODUCT? WAS IT AN LVT OR IS IT A PRE-MANUFACTURED WOOD? I KNOW IT LOOKS GREAT. NO NO NO. YEAH THE COLOR IS FANTASTIC CHOICE. DOESN'T SHOW SCRATCHES LV LV OKAY. YEAH. AND THEN WE ALSO WE ALSO WENT WITH THE SEMI-GLOSS. JUST SO IF THERE ARE SCRATCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IT'S NOT. YEAH. TO THE NAKED EYE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL. MAKES EVERYONE'S LIFE EASIER THAT WAY. YES ABSOLUTELY. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS, TREVOR. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE ARE YOU DOING PARK DEVELOPMENT? YEAH.

OKAY. YEAH. KURT'S HIKING TRAILS UP IN BOULDER, COLORADO. OH, MAYBE NOT RIGHT THIS SECOND, BUT HE WAS THIS MORNING. I KNOW FOR SURE. SO JUST TO GET YOU GUYS SOME UPDATES ON ON SOME CAPITAL PROJECTS, COMMUNITY PARK IS STILL MOVING ALONG VERY WELL.

RESTROOM CONCESSION BUILDING IS PROGRESSING SLOWLY. WE HAVE HAD OBVIOUSLY SOME WEATHER SO THAT DOES SLOW THINGS DOWN BUT STILL DOING GREAT. THE PICKLEBALL, TENNIS COURTS, THE MOISTURE CONDITIONING FOR THOSE IS COMPLETED AND THE SHADES THAT ARE GOING UP, THE SHADE CLOTHS ARE GOING UP. SO BASEBALL FIELD FENCING. IN FACT, I GOT SOME PICTURES THIS MORNING FROM OUR ONE OF OUR CONSULTANTS. SO FENCING IS GOING UP AND THE CONCRETE HAS I BELIEVE IT IS

[00:35:01]

AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE ON THE PARK PROJECTS? I'M SORRY, I'M KURT. KURT USUALLY FIELDS I HAVE ONE I WAS GOING TO ASK KURT, YOU KNOW LAST TIME WITH THE PLAYGROUND UPDATES. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE TONS OF PROJECTS AND I BY NO MEANS AM TRYING TO GET INTO THE GRANULAR DETAILS, BUT IT WOULD BE AWESOME FOR US TO GET A BULLETED LIST OF JUST KIND OF EVERYTHING YOU'RE WORKING ON AS A GENERAL UPDATE, AND HE CAN HIGHLIGHT THE BIG ONES LIKE YOU ALL DID, BUT WE KNOW AND IT'D BE GREAT TO CELEBRATE ALL THE WORK YOU ALL DO. AND HE IS WORKING ON THAT. HE TOLD ME. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THAT SIDEBAR, BUT I DIDN'T. I KNEW HE WAS WORKING, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S OKAY. AND IF HE'D BEEN HERE TODAY, I THINK IT'S DONE, BUT WE'LL PROBABLY BRING IT TO YOU IN AUGUST JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TOLD THE REST OF THE BOARD WHAT I ASKED. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD. NO. IT'S OKAY. NO, KYLE. I PULLED CURTIS OUT AND SAID, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON. CAN YOU GUYS JUST PUT TOGETHER A LIST JUST TO SHOW US, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT MAY JUST BE COMPLETED AND WHAT'S UPCOMING. SO KURT WAS WORKING ON THAT AND I THINK I THINK HE'S DONE WITH IT. BUT WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT. BUT I ACTUALLY WANT HIM TO PRESENT IT BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE THAT'S REALLY DOING THE LION'S SHARE OF THAT STUFF, AND I WANTED TO GIVE HIM TIME. I KNOW HE'S OUT. AND THEN ON THE PLAYGROUND, MY BOYS WANT TO THANK YOU. EXACT QUOTE FOR MY NINE YEAR OLD, AS IT DOESN'T HURT ANYMORE TO GO DOWN THE SLIDE SO GOOD. THEY APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S OUR GOAL. SO ALL RIGHT. GREAT THEN RAYMOND WHEN DO THEY START DOING IRRIGATION OR THEY ALREADY STARTED? RAYMOND. IT'S YEAH, THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP PARK DEVELOPMENT WITH MATT FOR. OPERATIONS. WHAT DO I SAY DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS. SO TO GO BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, DANIEL, WE'RE STILL KIND OF TWEAKING ALL THAT IRRIGATION PLANS. WE'VE GONE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER PLACE, BACK TO ANOTHER PLACE AND THEN BACK TO ANOTHER ONE. SO WE'RE REALLY WORKING THROUGH THAT. WE HAD ANOTHER MEETING ON THAT YESTERDAY WITH THE CONSULTANTS AND ABOUT THE WELL AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, TRYING TO NOW TIE EVERYTHING IN. SO IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS. NOW WE'RE GOING BACK AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE SENDING IT UP ON METERED WATER RIGHT NOW. BUT THE WELL'S COMING. WE WE'RE PLANNING ON THE WELL TO COME. SO THAT MEANS EVERYTHING ELSE NEEDS. KNOW. SO WHERE WE ARE ON THAT? YOU KNOW, INITIALLY THE PLAN WAS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE. WELL, THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DAM FOR THAT POND. SO AT THAT POINT COUNCIL WANTED TO PULL BACK. WE ALSO HAD SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING WATER RIGHTS ON THAT POND SINCE SINCE THOSE QUESTIONS CAME UP. MARIO CAZARES, TOWN MANAGER, AND I HAD A REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION WITH MR. SEXTON, WHO CONTRACTUALLY HAS THE WATER RIGHTS TO THAT POND. HE HAS SAID HE'D BE HAPPY TO ESSENTIALLY WAIVE THOSE. HE SAID HE HAS NO PLANS FOR THAT PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE. HE HAS NO HEIRS. SO

[00:40:08]

WE'VE GOT A HE'S WORKING ON WE'VE SENT HIM A NEW AGREEMENT. HE'S GOT HIS ATTORNEY LOOKING AT IT. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL GET THAT CLOSED OUT HERE SOON. SO THAT'S THE REALLY THE FIRST BOX THAT HAD TO BE CHECKED. NOW THAT WE KNOW IT'S A VIABLE INVESTMENT ON OUR END TO PUT THAT WILL AND THE REASON BEING BECAUSE THAT, WELL, YOU KNOW, WELLS BRING WATER UP. RIGHT.

YOU'RE BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE TO PUT THE WATER AND YOU CAN DO A WATER TANK OR, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE AND THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL. WE HAVE A POND RIGHT THERE. SO IT MAKES SENSE. FILL THE POND, PUMP ON THE POND AND GO. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WATER IS TECHNICALLY OUR PROPERTY. SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT. WE ARE GETTING A BECAUSE THE COST THAT WE HAVE WE HAD ONE POINT, WE HAVE $1.3 MILLION IN THE BANK FOR THE WELL. AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S STILL SITTING THERE. BUT THAT NUMBER IS PROBABLY SIX MONTHS OLD. AND YEAH, MR. MR. LAFFERTY'S OVER THERE, NOT HIS HEAD, BECAUSE HE SEES THE COST GOING UP ON EVERYTHING EVERY DAY AS WE DO TOO. SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE UPDATED COSTS. SO ONCE ONCE WE HAVE THAT WE SHOULD WE'VE ASKED FOR MONEY IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET TO TAKE CARE OF SOME REPAIRS ON THAT DAM. THE DAMS AND THE DAM IS IN FINE SHAPE. IT'S GOT A COUPLE LITTLE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE HANDLED, BUT WE'RE IN NO DANGER OF LOSING THAT DAM. BUT COUNCIL AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THEM. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE PUT A, PUT A WELL THAT'S GOING TO PUMP WATER FROM THE POND. THE POND IS GOING TO BE EXISTING THERE, YOU KNOW, SO TO MAKE SURE THAT DAM IS 100%. SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE THINGS COMING DOWN THE LINE. I DON'T KNOW THE TIMING ON THE WELL, BUT I FEEL PRETTY GOOD THAT THAT WELL WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT'S GOT TO GO BACK TO COUNCIL WITH THE NEW NUMBERS, AND THEY'VE GOT TO FEEL CONFIDENT THAT ABOUT THE AGREEMENT WITH MR. SEXTON. AND THEN THE FACT THAT THE DAM'S IN GOOD SHAPE. I THINK ONCE YOU REBID THAT WELL IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO WE HAVE A NUMBER BUT THE NUMBER WAS GOOD THROUGH I CAN'T REMEMBER I WANT TO SAY IT WAS IT'S PROBABLY WAS BEING HELD UP TO ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. SO YES. SO WE'RE BASICALLY GETTING UPDATED COST ON THAT. WE DON'T KNOW. NO ONE SAID IT'S GOING UP, BUT WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT IT MIGHT BE UP A LITTLE BIT. SO IF THE COST GOES UP THEN WE JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOME FUNDING FOR IT. AND IF WE'VE GOT THOSE THINGS, I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL MOVE FORWARD. WE KNOW THE WATER COST FOR THAT PARK ARE GOING TO BE PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE MARK, ABOUT $500,000 A YEAR. WE'RE JUST ON THE MATH WE'VE DONE COULD BE A LITTLE BETTER, COULD BE A LITTLE WORSE. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU START LOOKING AT BASICALLY 3 TO 4 YEARS. YOU BASICALLY YOU'RE RIGHT. THE WELLS PAID FOR ITSELF. SO BUT MATT'S RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE TYING INTO MUNICIPAL WATER SOURCE. AND AS SOON AS WE GET THE WELL ONLINE, AS SOON AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND THE WELL COMES ONLINE, WE'LL CONVERT OVER. BUT THAT ALSO GIVES US THE SECURITY THAT IF AT SOME POINT SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE, WELL, WE'VE GOT A BACKUP WITH, WITH WITH THE MUNICIPAL WATER SOURCE. SO IT'S NOT A BAD THING. WAS THAT DESIGNED THROUGH PERFORMANCE SPECS OR HOW DID YOU ALL BID THAT. I BELIEVE SO ALL THOSE THINGS. RIGHT. WE DID IT. WE DID IT INITIALLY WITH THE CMR OKAY. SO IT'S THROUGH THE CMR PROCESS. HAVE YOU DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY OTHER WELLS IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW. YES. MOST OF OUR PARKS RUN OFF OF WELL THEY RUN OFF OF WELL WATER. DO YOU HAVE ANY THAT ARE RUNNING LIKE THIS WHERE THEY'RE USING THE POND AND THE BOOSTER PUMPS YOU'RE GOING TO NEED FOR THE IRRIGATION HERE.

FRONTIER DOES. THAT'S THE ONLY. I WAS JUST GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO CALL THE CITY OF FRISCO AND ASK THEM. THEY'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF MOTORS AND ALL THE STUFF WE HAD TO REPLACE FOR YEARS. AND SO I THINK JUST LEAN ON THEM. AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE CASING IS GOING TO COST, HOW MANY LINEAR FEET THEY'RE GOING. AND SO MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO JUST LOOK INTO. CALL EDDIE CAMACHO DOWN THERE AND HE'D BE HAPPY TO HELP. AND THEY WERE JUST FUN AS YOU KNOW. OKAY. NO, WE APPRECIATE THAT. JUST A THOUGHT. I'M SORRY. NO YOU'RE FINE. SO ANYWAY, GOING BACK TO ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF HAVING FROM

[00:45:03]

EVERYTHING WENT REALLY GOOD FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS. AND THEN. THE INDIAN BURIAL GROUNDS. THAT FRONTIER IS THE PIPING BURST CLOGGED UP, BACKED UP. SO ALL THE KIDS WERE PLAYING IN THE WATER AND THE GRASS HAVING A GOOD TIME. IT LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE MINI POND. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH PUBLIC WORKS. PUBLIC WORKS COMES OUT AND HELPS US DO A LOT OF THINGS. LIKE DAN WAS SAYING, THE CONTRACTORS HIT OUR DRAIN PIPES IN THE IN THE PRAIRIE PARK PLAYGROUND. SO EVERYTHING'S GOT YOUR DRAINS AND YOUR DRAINS AND ALL THAT, AND THEN IT GOES WHEREVER WE SEND IT. WELL, THEY THEY PEERED DOWN INTO THREE OF THE TWO OF THE MAINS AND ONE OF THE LATERALS.

SO WITH THIS PAST RAIN THAT WE GOT, IT LOOKED LIKE A BIG OLD BATHTUB. EVERYTHING WAS OVERFLOWING. EVERYTHING. IT'S NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. SO WE KNEW WE HAD SOME ISSUES SOMEWHERE. WELL, PUBLIC WORKS WAS ABLE TO COME OUT, SEND THEIR CAMERAS. WE FOUND THE HOLES, GO THROUGH THERE AND SAY, NO, YOU GOT PROBLEMS. SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK AROUND, SNAKE AROUND AND THEY CAME BACK OUT AND JETTED EVERYTHING. SO WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD TEAM ALL THE WAY AROUND AND EVEN GOING BACK TO SOCCER AND BASEBALL, OUR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PRETTY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THESE GUYS IN OUR CORNER BECAUSE I'M ABLE, IF I'M SHORT ON A BUDGET, I WAS LIKE, BASEBALL, YOU KNOW, I NEED THIS. CAN Y'ALL HELP DO THIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS? WHAT CAN WE OFFSET? THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, HOW MUCH IS IT? SO WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE GROWING. SOCCER IS GROWING. BASEBALL IS ACTUALLY GOING TO CONTRACT OUT OUR PHRASE MOWER COMPANY. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND LEVEL THE FIELDS AT FOLSOM. THE BACKSTOPS. SO THAT'S ABOUT AN ACRE OF TWO BACKSTOPS RIGHT THERE. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO START HOSTING GAMES FOR THE LITTLE KIDS ON WEEKENDS. ONCE WE GET THAT LEVELED OUT MAKE IT REAL NICE.

AND NOW I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THAT AN EVERYDAY ATHLETIC, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE THAT WE DON'T DO NOW BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS ARE SO CLOSE. THAT ALSO BRINGS UP MORE MAINTENANCE AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. BUT WORKING TOGETHER, THEY KNOW OUR MONEY'S TIGHT. SOCCER COMES OUT AND HELPS US ALL THE TIME WITH GOALS AND NETS AND PAINTS AND ALL, ALL KINDS OF STUFF. SO I APPRECIATE THEM IN THE PUBLIC SETTING LIKE THAT. I WANT TO THANK THEM VERY MUCH FOR WHAT THEY DO FOR US. SO THIS WAS GETTING READY, YOU KNOW, THE SOCCER, WE WERE TAKING EVERYTHING DOWN ON FRONTIER, JUST MORE LEAKS THAT WE HAVE GUYS OUT THERE REPAIRING, SHOWING HOW MUCH THEY DO EVERY DAY. MEDIAN APPLICATIONS. SO IF YOU EVER SEE ONE OF THOSE GUYS UP THERE, GIVE THEM A LITTLE HONK, SCARE THEM A LITTLE BIT. SO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, ANYTHING Y'ALL NEED TO SEE NEXT AUGUST. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NO, NO. AS ALWAYS, THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF. THE CREW, YOU KNOW, ENTER OUR TOWN, LEAVE OUR TOWN FOR MANY PARKWAY OR MAJOR STREET. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND

[00:50:08]

WE'RE, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THE MEDIANS. WE'RE STILL TRYING TO WE'VE GOTTEN MOST OF EVERYTHING PLANTED. A LOT OF THE THINGS. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING DEAD RIGHT NOW, THAT MAY BE PART OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD FROM THE BUILD FROM LAST YEAR. SO WE'RE STILL I'VE GOT SEVERAL PROJECTS LIKE THAT THAT WE'RE JUST KIND OF TRYING TO WORK THROUGH, GET TO THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO COME OUT, REPLACE WHATEVER'S, YOU KNOW, DAMAGED OR DEAD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF PLACES LEFT. TO ADD THE BOULDER, YOU KNOW, LOOK THAT WE HAVE THE DIFFERENT COLORED ROCKS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF IN OUR MEDIANS. SO WE STARTED WORKING ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN ON FISHTRAP. SO WE HAVE EVERYTHING PLANTED NOW. WE JUST GOT TO COME BACK. WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE GOING TO BE SUCH A WET START TO THE YEAR, SO WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND, BUT THAT'LL BE COMING UP SHORTLY. HOPEFULLY NEXT FEW WEEKS. GET THAT STARTED TO GET THAT WRAPPED UP. CONCRETE PROJECTS ALL OVER TOWN, BUT THAT'LL BE LATER ON. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, MATT. THANK YOU ALL. UP NEXT, DAN WITH DIRECTOR. DIRECTOR DIRECTOR MINUTES. THANK YOU. NOT REALLY MUCH TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY. I DID CAITLIN DID. REMIND ME NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE BY THE PARKS ADMIN OFFICE, YOU'LL NOTICE SOME CHANGES TO OUR PARKING LOT. SO THE OLD BARBED WIRE FENCE THAT WAS UP, THEY'LL PROBABLY 56 YEAR OLD FENCE. THAT SHOULD BE DOWN BY 7:00 TONIGHT. 8:00 TONIGHT. WE PUT SOME NEW FENCING UP CLOSER TO THE BUILDING SO MATT COULD STILL STORE THE PARK OPS EQUIPMENT, BUT WE'LL HAVE AN OPEN PARKING LOT WITH ASPHALT, I BELIEVE SHOULD BE SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY. SO THE MAIN CONCERN ON THIS IS NOT 100% ESTHETICS, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S GOING TO BE THE BENEFIT WITH THE EXPANSION OF FIRST STREET, THERE WERE NO PLANS. SO FIRST IT'S GOING TO EXPAND TOWARDS OUR BUILDING. SO WE'VE GOT 1011 PARKING SPOTS OUT FRONT. THOSE ARE GOING TO GO AWAY AND WE'VE GOT THE 407. SO I THINK THEY SAID WE THOSE 1011 HIDDEN SPOTS MAY CONVERT TO ABOUT 2 OR 3 PARALLEL PARKING SPOTS. IF YOU'VE PARKED IN OUR PARKING LOT, IT'S VERY ROCKY AND SANDY AND NOT SOMETHING I FELT COMFORTABLE WITH OUR SENIORS WALKING ON DAY TO DAY, SO THERE WERE NO PLANS WITH THE ROAD EXPANSION TO DO ANYTHING TO OUR PARKING LOT. SO I BEGGED AND PLEADED AND THEY GAVE US SOME DOLLARS. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE INITIAL INITIAL PHASE OF THAT. SO THE FENCE COMING DOWN THAT AUTOMATICALLY ALREADY LOOKS BETTER. AND THEN WITH SOME NICE BLACKTOP OUT THERE. SO MY STAFF HAVE TO WASH THEIR CARS EVERY THREE DAYS NOW EITHER. SO THAT'LL BE NICE. BUT ANYWAYS, SO YOU'LL SEE SOME CHANGES PROBABLY BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THAT PROJECT SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AS I SAID EARLIER, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU JULY OFF. CERTAINLY IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO COME IN AND TALK TO ME AND I'LL STAY THAT TUESDAY NIGHT IF YOU WANT AND JUST COME OVER, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO DO WITH YOUR FAMILIES OR FRIENDS OR DO WHATEVER. SO OUR NEXT MEETING WOULD BE AUGUST 14TH AT 6:00. PROBABLY BE WARM, I'M GUESSING, BUT BUT THAT'S REALLY IT. SO ARE THEY GOING TO GET RID OF. ISN'T THERE A TELEPHONE POLE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW? RIGHT OUT THERE IN THE PARKING? THERE IS. YES. SO YES, I BELIEVE ALL THE UTILITIES ARE GOING TO BE MOVED. I'M NOT SURE WHERE EXACTLY THAT ONE'S GETTING MOVED TO, BUT YES, BECAUSE IT'LL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT LANE IF WE DON'T. SO YEAH, THAT COULD UPGRADE THE ESTHETICS RIGHT THERE. YES IT WILL FOR SURE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT? ALL RIGHT.
