Recommendations of potential projects utilizing the Parks and Acquisition and

The Acquisition and Improvement(A& I)Subcommittee discussed with staff their final
recommendations for the A& I project priority list for fiscal year 2019/2020. The current actual balance
in the A& I fund is$150,501; a negative balance of$24,941 in the west zone, $71,169 in the central
zone, and$104,473 in the east zone.
The Subcommittee agreed on the following staff recommendations:
1. West Zone: Funds are exhausted in this zone, however,the Parkside Park Concept Park
Master Plan is included as an expenditure in this park zone.
2. Central Zone: $35,000 will be reimbursed to this zone by the Wylie Baseball Softball
Association in the A&I Central Fund when the Community Park infield project is completed.
The Twin Lakes Park Trail project could potentially be funded by the Collin County grant
program. Staff is recommending including a new playground as part of this project. The
Braddock Park Concept Park Master Plan is included as an expenditure in this park zone.
3. East Zone: Due to the joint project with the Wylie Lakes Homeowner's Association never
being executed,this park zone has a healthy balance. Staff is recommending as potential
projects the landscape and irrigation for Avalon Park north and south as well as possibly
additional street parking.
Director Diaz confirmed he will add the A& I Subcommittee's recommendations as a discussion item
