Dating willen Pills Park and Recreation Facilities development corporation meeting is five o'clock and we'll call it June eighth, twenty twenty-six.

Meeting to order one of the boards present.

The meeting has been duly posted in order with Texas government code.

First time

I'm eating is three minutes from the September eight twenty twenty-five parts and right creation facilities development corporation meeting.

Okay.

I like to try

and keep up the illusion and pitch my voice a little higher.

Proposed revisions include changes due to capital projects.

The first of which is a project to address lighting at the tennis center, which has been in place in 1996 with fixtures that require frequent bull replacement and that generate high energy costs.

A project to convert existing lights to LEDs was included in the fiscal year 2026 adopted budget.

But that funding was contingent upon receiving a grant that the city applied for, but was unfortunately not awarded.

Parsons department will apply for grant funding again, but this time this revised capital project makes it clear that the if the grant funding is not awarded, the replacement of lighting will still occur.

Costs to the city will be about the same regardless of whether the grant is awarded, with the grant funding higher quality lighting than what the city would otherwise install if awarded.

The second capital project with proposed change is PK2507, the 2025 parking recreation after plan.

This plan will guide long-term parts and recreation planning and includes four phases.

Discovery, assessment, recommendations, and implementation.

The

public engagement portion of the plan development has begun with community surveys currently underway in a public open house scheduled for this Wednesday at the NRA center's grand hall from 6 to 7 p.m.

Based upon available resources in the current scope of work, an additional $23,661 is being requested from the parks

fund.

Revenue changes within the park fund include additional sales tax based on strong performance.

So for this fiscal year.

Expenditure changes include salary savings from vacancies and a total of 160,000 in new capital project investments.

Historically, on the fund summary for parks, capital projects were bundled into one row.

For

the revised budget and last year's actuals, this line has been split into two to clarify how much is being invested in parks versus the NRH Center.

Finally, in the adopted budget, 120,000 for equipment replacement costs at the NRH Center were miscategorized on fund summary and applied to the tennis or operation.

The rise budget moves these budgeted expenditures to the NRH center fitness category.

Finally,

I

did want to point out one correction to the agenda packet prepared for tonight's meeting.

As posted, the header for attachment A read fiscal year 2027 instead of 2026.

This has since been fixed, and all other information on attachment A is correct.

In

closing, staff demand that the parks and recreation facilities development corporation board adopt the fiscal year 2026, revised budget and recommended city council approval.

Have the answer any questions.

Any questions?

Yes, sir.

Um I misunderstood you.

Uh on the tennis courts, the cost was going to be basically the sign to the city whether whether or not we got the grant.

So have we got the grant while our possible design?

Yes, so uh the grant uh can only be awarded if we apply for a higher classification of lighting.

Uh so basically bancare lights.

Uh normally if we were just spending our own money, we would not consider that class of lighting.

However, because the grant's available and it would cost us about the same either way, we've applied for that higher class of iting.

So essentially, if we are awarded the grant, we're gonna put in really nice lighting.

Uh if we don't get the grant, we're gonna spend about the same amount of money out of our pocket, but it'll be for good lighting, but maybe just not as good as it would have

been.

So

we're not spending money until we know we've got the grant.

Uh so the way that we've uh revised this project is basically just to stab you a hey, we've got a plan A and a plan B, right?

Point A, if we get the grant, we're gonna go do this.

Point B, if we don't get the grant, we're still gonna pull off this project, we're still gonna get better lighting in there.

It just won't be again at that higher class.

Uh in the expenses for the updated we had a allocation to the park fund reserves, is that just for plenty reserves or is that for a specific project?

Uh

so nothing in particular, although I'll share with City Council uh later tonight some investments that we have planned uh for park infrastructure across the city, uh, of which these uh reserves uh would be utilized at that time.

But no specific project is part of tonight's proposal.

Yes.
