Farmers Market event on the first Saturday of August, September and October of this year,from
8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Ms. Grimes stated she hopes for the event to be successful and to
continue on into 2017. Fees collected would support community art projects and scholarships.
Types of items would include fresh produce and meats, as well as packaged items such as
honey, bread, pasta, spices,jams, etc. She also hopes to have food vending trucks on site.
Superintendent Diaz added that the vendor applicant would be responsible for notifying the Collin
County Environmental Services for required permits. The Parks Division staff would assist with
litter and park set up, and the event time frames would still allow for late afternoon and evening
rentals of the Olde City Park pavilion and gazebo.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
Parking options in the proposed park for the Woodbridge North
Development.
Superintendent Diaz reviewed with the Board the different parking lot options in the proposed
park for Woodbridge North Development:
• Option A 19 parking spots $55,000
• Option B 13 parking spots $47,000
• Option C 14 parking spots $21,865
• Option D 9 parking spots $24,455
Superintendent Diaz noted that Staff recommended options A and B for Board consideration
because option C does not provide safe and adequate pedestrian park access, and option D
provides too few parking spaces.
After discussion, the Board consensus was to go with Option B for the parking lot at Woodbridge
North Development. Board Member Jones preferred option A, Board Member Rose, Board
Member Chesnut, and Board Member White all preferred option B. Superintendent Diaz would
communicate to the Developer that option B would be the preferred parking option.
