BACKGROUND

The City's current contract for procurement of electric service expires December 31, 2022.

The new procurement process will include multiple RFP's for each year's power purchase to mitigate price risk. By avoiding a single long-term contract, annual rates will be lower by not including risk premiums for future market uncertainty. Pricing for each fiscal year will be known prior to adoption of the annual budget, and there will be the option of returning to a fixed-price contract if necessary.

Motion to name the park at Ranch Park Village J.K. Sachse Park.

BACKGROUND

On September 25, 2020, staff received a request from Sachse resident, Diana Smith, to name the Park at Ranch Park Village “J.K. Sachse Park” after J.K. Sachse.  Ms. Smith also gathered historical information on J.K. Sachse and received letters of support from local community members on the naming of the four acre park.  Staff also received two additional emails in support of the naming. This request was brought before the Parks & Recreation Board on October 8, 2020.  At that meeting, the Parks & Recreation Board approved to make a recommendation to City Council to name the park “J.K. Sachse Park.”  

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

According to the City of Sachse Naming of Public Facilities policy, if the Parks & Recreation Board approves a proposed name, the recommendation is forwarded by staff to the Sachse City Council with the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Board. As stated previously, the Parks & Recreation Board recommended approval of the naming of the park at Ranch Park Village as "J.K. Sachse Park."
