Discuss and provide input on a staff update concerning bond and PID amenities and objectives in the following areas. a. Independence East Director Adams let the board know that sod will be installed this week, construction is within the time allotted for the project, and that there will be a grand opening “event” in conjunction with a baseball tournament. The target date for the grand opening is the last weekend in October. Board Member Lentzner shared his vision about future baseball tournaments; 5 day tournament, partner with Roanoke and baseball organizations, one of the days would be a “fun” day for participants to enjoy what Trophy Club and the metroplex have to offer. He also let the board know that progress is coming along nicely. b. Community Pool and Splash Park Director Adams gave a brief update on revenue, comparing 2010 numbers “to date” with 2011 numbers “to date.” Budgeting for the pool is a little tricky sense it must be budgeted two years out. There is a zoning change that will be going to Town Council to make the pool and splash park “governmental.” Staff may look at extending operating hours. c. Harmony Park Teague Nall and Perkins is moving ahead with soccer fields, as planned. Chain link fence will be moved closer to the street in the first part of September. The Harmony Park spray pad will be on the Town Council agenda at their next meeting. A new discussion regarding the Spray Pad has come up; it would be more cost effective for the MUD to run the operations due to the cost of water. If the Splash Pad is approved, the target date to have it completed is Labor Day Weekend. Director Adams researched the cost of a “recirculatory” water system. It was found that after the cost of supplies, it would take upwards of 15 years to recoup the cost of that system. A “holding tank” or “pond” Parks and Recreation Board 5 of 10 Meeting Date: August 9, 2011 system was also researched; it was found to be cost prohibitive. The quoted cost for the project will be held until May 2012. It was noted that the Park and Recreation Board has voted twice to approve the Splash Park. d. The concrete trail system and amenity lake Director Adams updated the board on the Median and Common Area RFP (Request For Proposals). The RFP will go before Town Council on Monday, July 18th, 2011. Adams stated that in his opinion the trail system will benefit from the labor being in-house Also, the amenity lakes are off- line while the transformer and cipher between the two lakes are being repaired. Director Adams let the board know that there will likely be unallocated money left from the bond. The Facilities Sub-Committee and the Board will need to discuss possible uses for this money. e. Trophy Club Park trail system Director Adams let the board know that regardless of the outcome of the RFP, maintenance of the trails will be covered by the contractor, or the Town will need to hire additional staff. If the Town maintains the trails, 2 additional staff have been budgeted, and it is likely that a third person will be needed, specifically, an irrigator. Discussion among board about trail signage. The trail sub-committee is working on the nature trail signage. There is no firm date of when all signs will be completed and installed. Also, it would be nice to add “rule” signage (specifically regarding no bicycles on the trail) at parking trail heads. It might also be good to start thinking about naming the trails. Although, Town Council will need to be involved in that process. A “trail” plan will begin before the “master” plan is complete. The Corps is okay with this. f. Recreation/community center survey Director Adams let the board know that money is still available to do an official survey. He noted that it would be best to do the survey after the baseball field and dog park are complete. Since the survey process is a long process, it may be a good idea to begin working on it fairly quickly after the other projects are complete. A survey pertaining to the Recreation/community center would be a portion of a larger “feasibility” study. 3. Discuss and provide input on a staff presentation concerning the Fourth of July Celebration. Director Adams and Recreation Supervisor Lewis reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that gave a detailed recap of the Fourth of July Celebration. Parks and Recreation Board 6 of 10 Meeting Date: August 9, 2011 4. Discuss and provide input concerning an update on Trophy Club Park. Recreation Supervisor Lohse revealed the debut of the Trophy Club Park web page. The new site will feature: an interactive site, a blog, a Facebook link, a message board, and a list of amenities. The Trophy Club Park web page will link to the Town’s web page. Recreation Supervisor Lohse also let the board know about an event coming to the park in August – TORN Racing event for ATV and motorcross. The event promoter will be building new trails, renting the park for 4 days and handling all event logistics and using Trophy Club Drive as main entrance to the event site. EDC4b will be providing “Trophy Club” coupon booklets to the promoter to include the packets that are passed out to the participants when they check in. 5. Future agenda items: Discussion of what can be taken to Town Council based on our amenities and park space in regards to a 3-day event organized for the Wounded Warrior Project. Adjourn Board Member Glaser made the motion to adjourn at 9:19 p.m. Seconded by Board Member Hanna. Motion passed unanimously. ____________________________________ Barbie Kadow Parks & Recreation Board Secretary Parks and Recreation Board 7 of 10 Meeting Date: August 9, 2011 100 Municipal Drive Trophy Club, Texas 76262Trophy Club Entities Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:12011-381-T Name: Status:Type:Agenda Item Regular Session File created:In control:8/4/2011 Parks and Recreation Board On agenda:Final action:8/9/2011 Title:Discuss and provide input on creating and prioritizing an amentity and service list utilizing the remaining Park Board funds.
