List of Priorities from Board Retreat 2-3-07
Teen Center
The Board asked staff to research solutions that could be implemented in the next budget
year. These solutions include working with the WISD on open play uses, Saturday night
programming for youth in 5-8t grades, and additional teen oriented programs.
Water park/Aquatic Center
The Board asked staff what research could be done to prepare for another bond proposal
in the future. The Board also inquired about water elements that could be put into current
projects and could this be another item for a survey if the master plan is updated.
Trail connections
The Board's intent for this priority is to identify trails that could be connected or linked to
each other. An example would be areas in Sage Creek or Birmingham Farms. Staff is
also researching the possibility to utilize sidewalk bond funds for some of the linkage
projects.
Skate park
The Board made it clear to staff that Park Acquisition and Improvement(A and I) funds
need to be requested from the City Council at the Mid-year budget cycle. These funds
would be used to construct the City's first skate park area. Staff is currently working
with Parks and Recreation Board Member Donna Larsen on prices and potential locations
to put a skatepark.
Practice fields
The Board addressed the fact that there is a lack of designated practice areas. Staff is
working to identify potential areas that could be used for practice fields i.e. Alanis
Landfill and Dodd Park and identify funding for improvements in the next regular budget
cycle. The Board also recommended working with some of the local HOA's to see if
they would be interested in creating some practice areas for use in their subdivisions.
Staff will research this possibility.
McMillan,Wylie East, and Olde City Park land purchases
The Board was very supportive of staff pursuing the funding for additional land
purchases at the south end of Olde City Park for the next Collin County Grant cycle in
the summer of 2007. Due to the funding limitations of pursuing any additional land
projects and due to the fact that current projects are under funded i.e.New Recreation
Center, staff is recommending that no other land projects be pursued at this time.
Additional projects identified by the Board and Staff
Update Recreation,Parks and Open Space Master Plan. 4-k..13-,?-1(5
G�tAS
Development of Twin Lakes, Dodd, and Avalon Parks.
