3. Staff update on the following items; discussion of same:
a. Park Bond projects
The Facility Sub-Committee met and agreed that a playground at the end of
Trophy Club Drive should be included as a top priority; creating a “destination” in
Trophy Club, rather than adding little amenities throughout the town. Director
Adams will have quotes on all approved Park Bond projects to share with the
Board very soon, including playground options for the location at the end of
Trophy Club Drive. Staff has contacted local churches to see if there is any
interest in partnering together for the purchase/use of a van/bus, and will be
putting together a survey for residents to see if there is interest in such a
purchase.
b. Christmas Celebration
The Find Santa 5K and Fun Run had about 200 participants. Both Beck and
Lakeview Elementary had a choir singing at the Christmas Celebration. The
Dallas Morning News estimated that there were approximately 1000 in
attendance. In 2013, we need to address parking and a louder sound system.
c. Linear Park North
There was a large clean-up at the Highlands/Broadway. Small trees, brush and
debris were removed to correct a sink hole that developed. There is a concern
about beavers and large nutria in the area.
d. Trophy Club Park
Staff met with the Corp regarding finalizing the Master Plan. Board Member
Trotter updated the Board on activities by the Trails Sub-Committee: kiosk at the
beach, linear trail, and White Chapel installed (with boxes for trail maps), trail
map has been finalized, low-water crossings have been put in priority order for
repairing, 911 maps have been updated, Board Member Mills will be conducting
a training on the 911 markers in the TCP trail system, there is anticipated usage
of at least 21,000 park users in 2013, there was minor vandalism of posts being
removed, Shirley Greer offered to be “group volunteer coordinator”, and the sub-
committee is working with the park manager, Jacob Lohse on selecting a date for
the National Trails Day event. Director Adams asked that the sub-committee
record their volunteer hours spent at TCP.
e. Independence Park
Staff is still working with the contractor to finish a few projects. Director Adams is
also working with the contractor on pricing for the trail that will connect to the
LDS trail. Tables for the front pavilions have been ordered. The fence that will
be installed along the corner of Parkview/Bobcat will be installed soon.
f. Harmony Park
The Facility Sub-Committee was onboard with moving the three modular (small
kid) pieces into the covered area. The basketball courts are complete. Staff is
ordering a bench that will be installed in honor of the high school student who
was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 2012; with a ceremony to be
held in March.
g. Roundabout Lighting
Dazzlers danced, Andy Eades spoke, Council and MUD attended. The Town
now owns the lights that were used on the tree, and the tree has been planted on
Shasta Drive.
