Cross Country Meet for Kennedale ISD approved for September 23, 2015 approved, but city staff
will contact Coach Smith regarding additional information details to block off Sonora Park to the
Public during the meet.
V. REGULAR ITEMS
A. Review City Rental policy: The process of getting information from other cities rental
policies is slow going as Public Works has been slammed with the amount of work and
we are short staff. Larry Hoover would like to discuss the rental fees. Jeff Nevarez
asked which Cities outside Kennedale we contacted to check their fees. We have
contacted other cities and are still gathering information.
1. City Staff will come back to the Park Board once we have more information as far as
budget.
2. David Deaver is very clear that he would like to keep a great working relationship as
well as basically full access to the fields and not worry about the use of the
concession stand and storage
3. KYA has kept up communication and we are renting the fields out in between their
football practices with no scheduling conflicts so far
B. 9-Hole addition to Disc Golf Course at Sonora Park
1. Jeff Nevarez advised he believes we do have room for the expansion.
2. At the last Council Meeting council approved a Senior Living development which will
impact the 16 hole along the edge. This will serve as an access point to the new
development.
3. Park Board will put this on hold until we can see the new development and possibly
more acreage for a new course route. The city is waiting on a full set of plans for this
development. Park Board would like to talk to the Disc Golf group to discuss
alternatives so Sonora Park can still function as a park for the non-disc golf players
C. Railway Park Project: The Park Board as well as a few local businesses are in favor of
this project.
1. The multipurpose building proposed would serve as a historical site as well.
2. The Railroad would be donating a train car as well. The parking may prove to be an
issue, but as we get closer to starting this project that will be discussed in further
detail.
3. Staff will take back to the City Manager that as a group the Park Board is very
interested, depending on what grant money we could obtain to make this a reality.
VI. REPORTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS
A. Staff is right in the middle of budget. Finance and staff will meet with City Council on
Friday August 7, 2015. Larry Hoover is looking to get more budgeting for the Park and
Ball fields as far as electrical over hall and adding sidewalks all around.
B. The Sidewalk Project is projected to be finished by December with all missing parts filled
in.
C. Bloxom Park Project water and sewer is almost done, staff is meeting with Tarrant
County tomorrow August, 2015 to discuss paving.
D. The Booster Pump is almost done we are simply waiting for the pump to be delivered.
