ITEM NO. 1 - Workshop.
Mr. Bennett opened the meeting by explaining that the Park Board was
seeking the City Council's park requirements so that the two entities
would be working toward the same goal. Next, Mr. Bennett turned the
meeting over to Council for their input.
Councilman Mundy suggested to the Board that they should look at how the
park was used in the past, e.g.: parties, cookouts, KYA activities, etc.
The Park Board should set policies and make plans for the park. To be
practical but not to be limit by dollars and to not become discouraged
if a request is denied by Council, just keep planning and be persistent.
Councilman Boone added that a comprehensive plan should be developed and
implemented. Also he would like to see documentation on how the park
has been utilized.
Councilman Wright suggested that the board stay up with the condition of
the park and alert city staff on repairs and maintenance. Wright was
also interested in obtaining land for future park sites.
The Park Board members agreed that the information received would be
helpful. In addition the board inquired if Council would entertain the
idea of hiring the University of Texas at Arlington for their park
planning project at half the cost of a consultant, and it could possibly
be paid out over two fiscal years. The Council agreed to look at their
proposal once the board was ready to formally submit it.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Kirkpatrick adjourned
the meeting at 8:45 p.m.
