8. Old Business.
A. Park Comprehensive Plan. Phyllis Wall read the statement prepared by Doylene
Lloyd for the addendum for TPWD. Rusty stated that it is believed the TPWD is
looking for a simpler process to describe how the commission determined the
needs assessment and priorities. The Commission believed they had fulfilled this
requirement in the plan and elected to pull these pages out of the existing plan and
resubmit them to TPWD, and Rusty is to contact TPWD to ascertain if this was
what he was requiring.
B. Arbor Day Activities. Phyllis stated that Plainview Daily Herald would run an
ad/article in Sunday's paper and This and That advertising Arbor Day along with a
photo of the Arbor Day flag displayed on Lloyd C. Woods Park Flag Pole. Rusty
told members that the Kiwanis have given their blessing to display the flag. The
26th of April at 5:00 P.M. in Woods park at the flag pole has been selected for a
photo for the Plainview Daily Herald with some members of the commission in
attendance.
C. Park Improvements 2006. Rusty provided numerous catalogs with play structure
designs. Rusty continued to say that there is not any designs that provided any
real play value other than climb and slide, so Rusty contacted Hunter Knapshield
for a design containing 10 play items that he provided. Rusty presented the
design to the board. Rusty presented the price quote for the designs that
exceeded the $20,000.00 limit. However, Rusty continued to say that we need
additional price quotes and that this price probably could be negotiated down.
After some discussion, a motion was made by Phyllis Wall and seconded by
Gabriel Rodriguez to accept the proposed design Del Valle 06 and to negotiate a
price to an acceptable price between $19,000 to $19,500 and to leave the design
as is. Motion passed by unanimous vote.
