WORK SESSION
WS1. Project Updates.
Staff Comments on Projects
Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Stowers reviewed the department's current and future project
updates.
The pickleball courts at Community Park are nearly complete, with the concrete surfacing work, fence,
and gate installation having been done. The gates include three court entrances and one larger
maintenance access. The addition of the court windscreen mesh will complete the project and allow the
opening of the park amenity for public use within the next two weeks.
The contractor, RLM EarthCo Construction, has installed all of the mainline irrigation and valves and has
completed the first of four concrete pours at the dog park. The form -up has been done for the second
concrete pour scheduled this week. The four pours include the three dog paddocks and stamped concrete
at the park's main entrance. Because the project bid came in under budget, staff was able to submit a
work order change for the installation of sod at the northern dog paddock instead of hydro -mulch. This
project is progressing quickly and is expected to be completed by December 2023.
During the August meeting, the City Council approved selecting Raindrop Products to supply and install
the splash pad equipment features and pump and filtration system in the mechanical room. Including
Raindrop Products, this project will contract with five outside vendors to complete the concrete, pavilion,
gateway structure, electrical, and restroom facilities. In addition, the City of Wylie Public Works
Department, along with the Parks and Recreation Department, will assist with various aspects of the
splash pad project. The expected completion date is by May of 2024. Board Member Allen inquired about
the anticipated savings for electing to use City staff instead of an outside vendor to act as the general
contractor for the splash pad projects. Mr. Stowers responded that typically, 20 percent is added to the
anticipated expense when hiring an outside general contractor. Although the exact project savings are yet
to be determined, staff assuming the role of general contractor will allow funds for the needed parking lot
expansion, pavilion shade structures, and parking lot security lights at the East Meadow Trail splash pad,
and the addition of a drop-off safety feature and splash pad shade structures at the Community Park
splash pad. Board Chair Dyson asked if adding a Brown Street left turn lane into the East Meadow Trail
splash pad facility is included in this project budget. Mr. Stowers responded that a turn lane addition is
not included in this project budget but will be budgeted as a separate project when funds become
available.
The City Council approved the selection of vendor Grand Landscapes and Athletics for the Founders Park
field renovation project. The renovation will encompass the three fields located at the northern west side
of the park, closest to the Wylie Independent School District Stadium. The project will include bringing
up the ground about four inches with material, professional crowning, sand capping, and adding a new
full irrigation system on the fields and the surrounding common areas. The sports leagues that the City
contracted with are aware of the renovations beginning after November 1, 2023, and accepted the
probability that the project would cause a delay in the start of the spring season. Board Member Allen
asked if the field renovation project included any of the Founders Park Master Plan done by Halff and
Associates. Mr. Stowers advised that portions of the plan will be completed over time as the budget
allows. He added that in the 2023/2024 fiscal year budget, 4B Funds have been allocated to fund the

Pirates Cove playground replacement in Founders Park, a project included in the Founders Park Master
Plan.
Last week, staff received a final proposal from LMC Corporation for the Senior Recreation Center
renovation project, which is in review by the City Purchasing Department. If the City Council approves
the proposal, construction could begin as early as late October. The vendor estimates a 90-day renovation
timeline, and because the proposal came in under budget, exterior resurfacing and additional parking were
added to the project. Board Co -Chair Suarez inquired about the closing of the Senior Recreation Center.
Mr. Stowers stated that during the renovations, the facility will be closed completely. He explained that
some activities will be suspended, but many will resume at the Recreation Center location during
renovations.
WS2. Program Updates.
Staff Comments on Programs
Parks and Recreation Director Powlen reviewed the recent and upcoming Parks and Recreation
Department programs and events. She advised that many new items were added to the current ones in the
Fall and Winter schedule this year, including pickleball classes, the Welcome Center at the Brown House
exhibit of "School Days in Wylie, Then and Now" and "Wylie and the Wider World," Picnic in the Park,
the Victorian Christmas Market, the Senior Recreation Center Christmas Banquet, Pumpkins on the

Staff Comments on Rescheduled Fall Tour
Executive Administrative Assistant Janet Pieper reviewed the new date and itinerary for the Fall Tour
with the Board. The tour will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 14, and conclude with Lunch at the
Municipal Complex at approximately 11:15 a.m. All Board Members plan to attend; however, Board
Member Mullis advised previously that she will be absent for the tour.

meeting at 6:30 p.m. A vote was taken, and the motion passed 6-0 with Board Member Mullis absent
from the meeting.
