[6. Discuss and make a recommendation to the City Council on park project funding and the corresponding budget for the Municipal Development District to fund for the 2023-2024 fiscal year budget.]

ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSING MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON PARK PROJECT FUNDING AND THE CORRESPONDING BUDGET FOR MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FUND FOR 2023 2024 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

THANK YOU, JERMAINE.

I'M GOING TO HAVE SUSAN GO UP THERE.

SHE'S GOING TO PULL UP. IT'S NOTHING MAJOR, BUT JUST A LITTLE BUDGET PRESENTATION.

OR MAYBE SHE WAS. SHE CAN DO IT AFTER SHE LOCKS HER IN.

BUT WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT, LET ME JUST TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET.

SO, AS YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR, WE YOU GUYS APPROVED THAT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS THAT'S IN THE MDD FUND TO BE SPENT AT JK SACHSE PARK.

THAT WAS THE APPROVAL THAT YOU GUYS DID LAST YEAR.

THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE SOME REMAINING FUNDS THIS LAST QUARTER BEFORE THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PAGE ON THERE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST ONE TO READ.

YOU'LL SEE THAT WE CURRENTLY BEFORE THIS LAST QUARTER ENDED, WE HAD $16,219.

THAT WAS IN THE END OF MAY.

NO END OF SORRY, END OF JUNE.

THANK YOU. THAT ONE? YES. OH, NO.

ONE MORE. YOU GO ONE MORE.

WE'RE GOING TO JUMP TO THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2223, AT THE END OF JUNE, WE HAD A SURPLUS OF $16,219. AND THEN WITH THE REVENUES OF THIS YEAR, THE PROJECTED WAS 575.

WE HAD 730.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE BALANCE OF THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, 895,000.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE SPENT ON SACHSE PARK.

WAS 775,000.

AND SO THAT'S THE REMAINING BALANCE.

AND AND THAT THAT 730 IS COUNTING.

AUGUST AND AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER.

SO THE TOTAL FOR OUR MD PLUS THE GRANT FROM COLLIN COUNTY.

895. WE SPENT 775.

WE WILL HAVE 135,546 CARRY OVER TO THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

[00:10:06]

THE PROJECTED BUDGET OR PROJECTED INCOME IS 750.

HOWEVER, JUST REMEMBER, IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER IF WE JUST PASS WHEN WE DO PASS THE BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR, JUST TO SAY ALL THE FUNDS IN THE MD TO GO.

IF WE IF WE LIMIT IT AS 750, LET'S SAY WE DO APPROVE THE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR TONIGHT ON SEXY PART.

ONCE WE HIT 750, WE HAVE TO STOP.

WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE WE HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM YOU GUYS CITY COUNCIL AGAIN.

SO LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR, YOU JUST EVEN THOUGH THE BUDGET THAT WE PROJECTED WAS 575.

YOU GUYS SAID USE ANY AND ALL FUNDS, NOT NOT ONLY FROM THIS FISCAL YEAR, BUT ANY REMAINING FROM THE FISCAL YEAR BEFORE, WHICH YOU'LL SEE ON THE OTHER BUDGET WORKSHEET THAT JENNIFER HAD RIGHT BEFORE THIS.

I KNOW I'M TALKING A LOT.

I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT FINANCE TALK, BUT.

SO WITH THE BUDGET, GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

BACK TO THE EASY ONE TO READ, JENNIFER.

WITH THIS BUDGET OF 886,546 PROJECTED.

UM. MY PROPOSAL WILL BE TWO ITEMS. ONE IS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A $50,000 FUND THERE THAT WE PUT PARKS AND PARK REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT NOT ONLY THE OLD PARKS THAT DIDN'T GET REPLACED ON OUR FIRST PHASE OF FUNDS WHERE WE REDID DAVE SANFORD PARK AND JOE STONE PARK AND FIREFIGHTERS, WE DID THOSE THINGS.

WE'RE SEEING REPAIRS STARTING TO BE NEEDED ON THOSE.

WE ALSO NEED TO START A FUND ON REPLACING LIKE INGRAM PARK AND HERITAGE PARK FOR THE PLAYGROUND ALTOGETHER.

SO THIS IS JUST A RECOMMENDATION.

THIS IS JUST A NUMBER.

I CAME UP WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER JUST TO GET IT IN THERE.

THERE'S PROBABLY SOME KIND OF FORMULA THAT GOES BY YOUR BUDGET, HOW MANY PARKS YOU HAVE, HOW MANY PLAYGROUNDS YOU HAVE THAT WE CAN MAYBE LOOK AT HAVING A BETTER FORMULA IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE DOING A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT COMES IN FROM THE MDD GO SET ASIDE FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS.

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THIS FUND AND HAVING THE REMAINING FUNDS GO TOWARDS PHASE TWO A OF THE SACHSE PARK IF YOU WANT TO.

FIRST OF ALL, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PART BEFORE I GO INTO RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT WE NEED, WHAT MY RECOMMENDATION IS WOULD BE FOR THE FOR THE BUDGET.

WE DON'T HAVE A RESERVE FUND THAT WE'RE PUTTING MONEY INTO ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE.

WE DON'T WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PARKS DEPRECIATION AND SO FORTH.

WE DON'T HAVE A FORM, WE DON'T HAVE A FORMULA THAT WE USE TO TO ALLOCATE A CERTAIN NUMBER AMOUNT OF RESERVE, NOT ON THE MD FUND I'VE BEEN TAKING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND OF MY OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET.

IT COMES OUT OF PARKS BUDGET AND THAT HAS WITH THE INCREASE OF OUR ADDED PARKS, WE'VE INCREASED THAT BUDGET.

BUT IT'S NOTHING.

IT'S IT'S LIKE 20,000 YEARS WE'RE GOING TO HERE.

YEAH. HE ALMOST SAID EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE IS A GENERAL FUND BALANCE BUT NOT AN MDD FUND BALANCE.

OKAY. THE OTHER THING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS WE'VE DONE THE LAST FEW YEARS WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND AND WITHIN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS IS THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.

THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.

BUT WE DO THAT WITH IT.

WE DO THAT WITH NON VEHICLES.

THE BEST EXAMPLE WAS A FIRE TRUCK.

WE THOUGHT A FIRE TRUCK WAS GOING TO COST $700,000.

IT ENDED UP COSTING $1 MILLION.

WE ONLY HAD 6 OR $700,000 IN THERE, BUT IT OFFSET THE COST.

SO IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO LAST, LIKE THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.

LANSING I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HERITAGE FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, BUT IT'S 20 YEARS OLD.

IT'S BEEN REPAIRED TO DEATH AND IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

SO DO WE START PUTTING 10,000 OR $50,000 IN THERE A YEAR KNOWING I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SHARE WHAT SAX'S PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT WAS, BUT IT WAS OVER TWICE WHAT YOU EXPECT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

JUST THE PLAYGROUNDS. JUST THE PLAYGROUND.

JUST THE PLAYGROUND. 1.5 MILLION.

YEAH. YEAH. MY CONCERN ABOUT TRYING TO BUDGET INTO THE GENERAL FUND IS THAT'S KIND OF GENERAL.

IF WE ALLOCATE.

FOR SPECIFIC PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT TOO.

IF WE KNOW WE INSTALLED THAT AT JC SACHSE PARK, THAT THAT EXPECTED LIFE CYCLE FOR THAT PLAYGROUND IS

[00:15:05]

15 YEARS OR 20 YEARS, WHATEVER.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS 50,000 WOULD BE.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A TURF, IF YOU WILL.

BUT IS IT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, BECAUSE THE VERSE THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT WITH THE CITY, IT IS IT IS LITERALLY FORMULATED TO THE TO THE PRICE.

FOR INSTANCE, THE PRICE OF A TRUCK.

AND THEN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A TRUCK IS TEN YEARS.

AND THEN THEY BUDGET THAT LIKE THIS YEAR, THOUGH, COSTS OF TRUCK TRUCKS HAVE GONE UP 30, 40%.

SO THEY'VE ADJUSTED THE AMOUNT THAT GOES IN THERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS JUST CAME UP BECAUSE JUST THIS PAST SUMMER WE SPENT $10,000 JUST ON REPLACING A SLIDE AND A BRIDGE AT HERITAGE PARK AND ANOTHER 3000 REPLACING A SLIDE AT INGRAM PARK.

SO IT CAME UP. THAT TAKES A HUGE HIT ON THE GENERAL FUND.

BUT IF WE CAN USE MAYBE SOME OF THE MD, THE MD FUND TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT REPAIR FUND, I DON'T.

TO ME, 50,000 DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT.

WELL, AND I'LL TAKE IT.

I'LL TELL IT TO YOU THIS WAY.

A FIRE TRUCK IS A FINITE ITEM.

YOU CAN'T REPLACE A HOSE OR A VALVE ON A FIRE TRUCK.

YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO WEAR OUT IN TEN YEARS BECAUSE OF MILEAGE ENGINE, THAT KIND OF STUFF.

BUT THE PLAYGROUND, THE WHOLE THING DOESN'T FALL APART AT ONCE.

SO IT'S HARD TO FINITE AN AMOUNT.

YEAH, THERE'S GOING TO BE A 20 YEAR LIFESPAN OF THIS PLAYGROUND, BUT WE KNOW SOMETHING'S GOING TO BREAK YEAR 3 TO 5.

WE KNOW SOMETHING MAJOR IS GOING TO BREAK YEAR 15 TO 20.

THE WHOLE STRUCTURE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT ONCE, LIKE A FIRE TRUCK.

SO IT'S HARD TO GIVE AN IDENTITY IDENTIFIABLE VALUE TO THAT.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD SO WHAT ARE OUR STEPS IN SAYING? AND AS FAR AS SAYING, OKAY, WE'LL ALLOCATE.

7% OF WHATEVER WE MAKE FOR THE YEAR.

BUT STILL HAVE THE LATITUDE TO BE ABLE TO.

IF WE DON'T SPEND ALL THAT, FOR INSTANCE, ON MAINTENANCE, WE CAN MOVE IT TO BEING ABLE TO SPEND IT ON THE PARK.

CAN YOU DO THAT? RIGHT.

SO IF YOU SAY LET'S SAY LET'S 10% MAKE IT EASY FOR ROUND NUMBERS, RIGHT? SO 750 IS OUR PROJECTED.

WE SAY, WELL, OKAY, 10%, WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE TOO MUCH, $75,000 FOR MAINTENANCE IN THAT YEAR.

RIGHT. BUT WE ONLY SPEND 25.

OH, YES. RIGHT.

SO AN ADDITIONAL 50.

WE CAN ALLOCATE THAT TO THE PARK OR KIND OF PUT IT BACK INTO THE FUND TO BE ABLE TO SPEND IT ON OTHER ITEMS. IS THAT IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? OR ONCE WE ALLOCATE IT, IT'S LOCKED IN.

SO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

OKAY, WE'RE TALKING TO THE FINANCE DIRECTOR.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS LITERALLY TREAT IT LIKE A VERB WHERE GET A SPREADSHEET, INVENTORY ALL OF OUR PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS, EQUIPMENT AND PUT A LIFE EXPECTANCY ON THERE WHEN WHEN WE REPLACED FIVE DIFFERENT PLAYGROUNDS JUST FOUR YEARS AGO.

SO THAT LIFE EXPECTANCY IS GOING TO GO ANOTHER 16 YEARS.

BUT HERITAGE WAS BUILT IN 98.

SO WE'RE 25 YEARS ON HERITAGE, SO IT'S PAST US.

SO WE'D LIKE TO GET WHERE EACH YEAR IT'S GOING TO COST THREE $200,000 TO REPLACE THESE THESE PLAYGROUNDS.

AND WE PUT A LIFE EXPECTANCY AND WE BRING WE, WE JUST BUDGET LIKE WE DO WITH THE VERVE, A PERCENTAGE OF THIS FUND TO HELP WHERE IN YEAR FIVE, WE CAN REPLACE HERITAGE PARK IN YEAR, YEAH, YEAH, STAGGER THEM.

SO YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST USED PART, WE CAN EXTEND THAT.

YES. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH. YEAH, IT MAKES SENSE. YEAH. YEAH, WE WOULD.

I MEAN, WE TRIED WITH THE.

WITH THE VEHICLES AND IT JUST THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT JUST MESSED IT UP SO.

OR STEEL OR WOOD.

YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE WE FACTORED IN.

BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO AMEND IT LIKE THIS SHOULD WE AMENDED IT QUITE A BIT.

WE ADDED A LOT MORE TO THE BUDGET.

I'LL SAY ONE MORE THING, AND IF YOU WANT TO EQUATE THIS TO A VERB, IDEALLY, WHATEVER YOU SET THE VERB AT TODAY WILL BE ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE VALUE TODAY. BUT LIKE LANCE JUST SAID, THAT PLAYGROUND MAY COST US $200,000 A DAY IN FIVE YEARS OR EXCUSE ME, IN 20 YEARS WHEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. IT MAY BE $1 MILLION.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW. I THINK A BIG PORTION OF IT YOU THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT $200,000 AND ENDED UP BEING ABOUT $400,000 FOR JC 60.

AND THE OTHER THING IS, LET ME JUST FINISH REAL QUICK, BUT IF IT'S NOT ENOUGH, IT'S ENOUGH OF A PERCENTAGE TO OFFSET SO THAT WE DO HAVE TO MAKE THAT PURCHASE.

WE FIND THAT MONEY SOMEWHERE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO FIND THE WHOLE THING.

SORRY. AND THE OTHER THING IS WE'RE LOOKING AT I GET A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR DIFFERENT PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIAL.

RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS ENGINEERED WOOD FIBERS.

[00:20:02]

IT'S THE CHEAPEST WAY, BUT IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE.

SO PEOPLE WANT TILES.

THEY WANT IT'S CALLED PIP POUR IN PLACE.

IT'S YOU'VE BEEN THE PLAYGROUND VERSUS THE SOFT, FOAMY THINGS.

WELL, THOSE ARE AS EXPENSIVE AS THE PLAYGROUND.

SO AGAIN, IF WE DO A ROOF OR WE DO A VERVE TYPE THING FOR THE PLAYER, WE NEED TO FACTOR THAT IN ALSO.

SO LIKE IF WE WERE TO REPLACE EQUIPMENT AND THE SURFACE, THAT'S GOING TO DOUBLE THE PRICE.

SO BUT ANYWAYS, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD START.

AGAIN, WE GOT LATE, LATE ON DOING THE FORMULA, BUT I THINK THIS WOULD BE AT LEAST GET SOMETHING IN THERE.

AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE LOOK AT MAYBE I CAN HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT FINANCE HELPS ME WITH THE SHOW THE.

LONGEVITY OF IT AND HOW WE CAN BUDGET AND REPLACEMENT TIMES AND AND STUFF LIKE THAT FOR THAT 50.

FOR MAINTENANCE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY USE IT, BUT IF WE DON'T END UP USING IT, I THINK IT JUST ROLLS OVER.

CARRIES OVER? YEAH. OKAY.

SO KEEP ADDING TO IT.

THERE MAY BE YEARS WE DON'T USE ANY OF IT, BUT YOU'RE BUILDING IT UP TO REPLACE THESE OTHER PLAYGROUNDS.

SO IF WE VOTE THAT WE'RE GOOD WITH THIS FOR THE IDEA.

WHEN DO YOU. WHEN DO YOU THINK WE WOULD YOU'D BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO US KIND OF A PLAN FOR THAT.

WELL, TONIGHT WE GOT TO GET IT ON THE BUDGET TONIGHT.

BUT I'M SAYING, LIKE OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, FOR INSTANCE, BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE I THINK FOR 2025.

BUT YEAH, I THINK WE COULD, YOU KNOW, AS I MEET WITH FINANCE AND THEY KIND OF HELP ME PUT TOGETHER A SPREADSHEET, WE PROBABLY TALK ABOUT IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND JUST DISCUSS IT. OKAY. SO TONIGHT.

IF YOU WANT, GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

MAYBE. MAYBE. LET'S SHOW THE MAP REAL QUICK.

I KNOW I TOLD YOU TO PUT IT IN THIS ORDER.

I'M SORRY, JENNIFER.

SO IF YOU REMEMBER, THIS IS THE PHASE MAP FOR THE PARK.

THE GREEN WAS PHASE ONE.

WE JUST COMPLETED THAT.

AND THEN THE ORANGE IS PHASE TWO A AND Y WAS BROKEN UP BECAUSE PHASE TWO ORIGINALLY WAS THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND THE PLAYGROUNDS.

THAT'S $3 MILLION, $2.5 MILLION TO DO BOTH THOSE.

THE WHEN I SHOW YOU THE NUMBERS FOR THE PHASE TWO A, THEY'RE DOWN IN THE ORANGE, THE TRIANGLE FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE THIS FISCAL YEAR.

I SAY THIS FISCAL YEAR WITH MONEY THAT WE GET THIS FISCAL YEAR, IT WON'T BE DONE WITHIN THE YEAR, BUT WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THAT PHASE THIS YEAR WHERE THE PHASE TWO BE THE TWO PLAYGROUNDS, THE PLAYGROUND SURFACE MATERIAL, FINISHING OUT THE LANDSCAPING AROUND THE VOLLEYBALL COURT.

AND THAT PHASE YOU'LL SEE ON HERE, PHASE TWO B IS OVER $2 MILLION AGAIN.

SO AND IF YOU REMEMBER, FOR US TO DO THE SPLASH PAD AND THE SEEING, IT WAS 2.6 MILLION AND WE SAVED WELL OVER TWO AND A HALF, THREE YEARS TO GET THAT DONE, PLUS WHAT WE HAD IN THERE LEFT OVER.

SO MY RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT WOULD BE YOU CAN GO TO THE CHART IS TO DO IS TO GET GOING ON PHASE TWO A AND YOU'LL SEE THIS IS THE.

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING IN THERE.

WE DISCUSSED HAVING MAYBE A COUPLE PIECES OF OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT.

AT THE PARK AGAIN, AS WE LOOK AT THE DESIGN, CAN IT FIT IN THAT TRIANGLE? MAYBE. BUT DO THE SURFACING.

THE TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS LIGHTING FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THE. THE SURFACE.

THE BLEACHERS, THE FENCING, THE LANDSCAPING AROUND IT.

NOW, SOME OF THIS WE DID WE IF YOU REMEMBER IN PHASE ONE, WE DID GO AHEAD AND PUT IRRIGATION IN THAT TRIANGLE.

SO WE WILL SAVE SOME MONEY ON HERE WHERE IT HAS THE DRIP IRRIGATION AND POP UP A SMALL ROTORS.

ALL THE IRRIGATION IS INSTALLED.

WE JUST HAVE TO MOVE THINGS AROUND TO GET THE STUFF IN.

SO WE MAY SAVE A LITTLE BIT ON THERE.

BUT THIS THIS PROJECT OF TWO A WOULD.

ALL IN THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DESIGN.

THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ASK FOR A CONSULTANT TO HELP US WITH.

BUT IT'S $521,000 TO DO THIS NEXT PHASE, AND THE TIMING COULD NOT BE BETTER.

WHAT'S THAT COST? $1,600 EACH.

THE ONES THAT DID.

HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE TWO OUT THERE?

[00:25:03]

WELL, WE WE ENDED UP BUYING TWO MORE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GETTING USED ANYWAYS.

THIS GRACIOUS. WHAT ARE YOU ANTICIPATE? THE CONSULTANT. 10%.

SO IT'S ALMOST 600,000.

YOU ALMOST HAVE YOU ALMOST HAVE TO DO THIS STUFF FOR THE PRICE IS RAISED AGAIN.

BUT IF YOU REMEMBER ON THE SPLASH PAD, OUR COLLECTIONS, IT WAS LIKE IF YOUR RACE, WE SET IT OUT WITH REVENUE AND THEN THE EXPENDITURES JETTED OUT AND THEN IT SLOWED DOWN.

THE EXPENDITURE JUST WENT AND GRADUALLY CAUGHT UP.

AND I BELIEVE I DON'T KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, I ACTUALLY THINK WE WERE UNDER JUST FOR ONE MONTH WHERE EXPENDITURES WENT ABOVE REVENUE, BUT WE CAUGHT RIGHT BACK UP. THAT'S WHY IT'S A 16,000 AT THE END OF JUNE.

SO WELL, LET ME SHOW YOU PHASE TWO B, JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THAT IS.

YOU CAN SEE THE PLAYGROUND, THE SHADE, THE SURFACING.

WE INCLUDED THE ENTRANCE SIGN ON THIS ONE.

SHADE STRUCTURE.

GRANITE. THERE.

THESE ONES ARE $6,500 FOR YOUR TRASH CAN BENCHES.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL OF THIS.

IS THERE IS THERE TWO PAGES TO TO BE OR JUST ONE? OKAY. I WAS WRONG.

FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THIS WAS 2 MILLION, BUT IT'S 1.3 MILLION, WHICH IF YOU PHASE THIS.

WHAT'S THAT? CONSULTED ON IT AS WELL.

WELL, THIS ONE HAS A CONSULTING.

OKAY. DID DID IT HAVE ON TO A DID IT HAVE CONSULTANT FEES ON TO A YOU WANT TO GO BACK REAL QUICK.

MAYBE IT DID. OH, OKAY.

THERE YOU GO. YEAH. THAT'S ALL INCLUDE YEAH.

8%. YEAH. OKAY.

GO TO. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE MD.

WE BUDGETED IT.

WE BUDGETED 750 OF INCOME COMING IN.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION OF THE MD FUND MONTHLY, IT IS WE'VE HAD 50,000, $55,000 A MONTH.

AND THE LOWEST MONTH THAT I SAW WAS LIKE 41,000.

SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE COLLECT MORE LIKE 850 TO 900,000 THAT IF WE CAN GET THIS PROJECT DONE, LET'S SAY, TO TO A AROUND THAT $500,000 MARK.

BUT WE COLLECT, SAY, 900,000 PLUS WE HAD 116,000.

THAT'LL LEAVE US 400,000 GOING INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, PLUS THE COLLECTION.

WE CAN ALMOST DO PHASE TWO A AND TWO B AND TWO FISCAL BUDGET YEARS.

AND THEN. BE GETTING ALMOST DONE, WHICH IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS, WE WERE WE WERE ANTICIPATING 300, 350,000, 400.

WE WERE WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD TAKE LIKE 8 OR 9 YEARS TO COMPLETELY COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.

SO I PRESENTED THE BUDGET, MY RECOMMENDATIONS.

NOW I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

PICKLEBALL COURTS.

DOWAGER THAT. PICKLEBALL ISN'T JUST A PASSING FAD.

I WILL SAY THIS.

IF A PICKLEBALL PLAYER SAW YOU PLAYING SOMETHING OTHER THAN PICKLEBALL ON THE COURTS, YOU'LL BE OSTRACIZED.

COUNCILMAN FRANKS IS A PICKLEBALL PLAYER.

AM I RIGHT? LET'S CONVERT THIS.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU GO OUT THERE WITH YOUR SON AND PLAY A LITTLE TENNIS OR SOMETHING, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME SIZE.

YEAH, THERE'S NO OTHER LINES ON IT.

YEAH, IT'S. IT'S.

IS IT HALF THE SIZE OF A TENNIS COURT? MAYBE IT'S.

IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF A VOLLEYBALL COURT.

MAYBE EVEN SMALLER. YEAH.

YOUR, YOUR QUESTION IF I UNDERSTOOD THE DIRECTION YOU WERE HEADING IS PICKLEBALL FALLS OUT OF FAVOR.

YEAH. YEAH. THAT.

CAN THAT SURFACE BE.

YEAH. I MEAN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT, 700,000 OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PUTTING REUSED IN ANOTHER FUNCTION AND YOU WOULD SAY THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE.

DO WHAT? LOOK AT TENNIS.

THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY. AND STILL THEY'RE NOT BEING USED AND THEY'RE BEING TURNED INTO PICKLEBALL COURTS EVERYWHERE.

I GUESS YOU COULD. YOU COULD.

YOU CAN'T GO BACKWARDS. IT'D BE TOUGH OVER THERE.

BUT WHAT YOU COULD DO IS YOU COULD USE THE SURFACE AND BUILD ON IT LIKE A SKATEBOARD PARK OR SOMETHING.

AS A FOUNDATION OF A PARK.

I. I MEAN, I AGREE RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL THE RAGE.

[00:30:02]

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S HUGE.

IT LOOKS. THAT WAS.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE OUTDOOR EXERCISE AREA.

WELL, I THINK WE HAD BOTH IN THERE AND WE'RE STILL WANT TO DO WE'RE STILL.

I THINK THE OUTDOOR FITNESS IS STILL A POSSIBILITY.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE GERMANE OR NOT.

I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING VOLLEYBALL IN THERE AT ONE TIME.

YEAH. A.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

I AGREE. SO A FEW MONTHS AGO.

BUT. TO.

THE. THREE.

THE SPACE.

THE. JUST LIKE, YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

I THINK THAT AREA, WITH IT BEING SO POPULAR, WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY BUILD ON IT AND MAYBE DO SOMETHING FOR OLDER KIDS OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW, DODGEBALL, COURT OR SOMETHING BECAUSE WE WANT TO.

FENCES. FENCES AND ALSO BASKETBALL OR.

YEAH, BASKETBALL. MAYBE TURN INTO BASKETBALL COURT.

YEAH, THAT'D BE GOOD.

THIS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

HOPEFULLY IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS.

IF YOU. SO, SO, SO THE BUDGET WOULD BE APPROVED IN OCTOBER. WOULD HAVE.

135,000IN THERE, WE CAN START DESIGN.

AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT TO START UNTIL WE HAD OUR FUND UP TO.

300,000 TO GET.

THE CONTRACTOR GOING.

AND THEN LIKE I SAID WITH WITH JB CO AND, AND AND SPLASH PAD AND ALL THAT, WE STARTED WITHOUT HAVING ALL OF THE MONEY IN THE FUND.

BUT WE AGAIN WE WENT RIGHT.

I MEAN THE TIMING WAS ABOUT PERFECT.

WE ENDED THEY ENDED, WE HAD ENOUGH TO PAY THEM AND WE HAD A LITTLE EXTRA.

SO IF I WAS, SAY, TIMING ON THIS EARLY, EARLY CALENDAR YEAR, WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE.

BREAK ROUND OUT THERE.

THANKS. WE HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE ABOUT 300,000 IN THERE AT THE END OF DECEMBER.

SO. 20, 20, 2024.

I THINK WE COULD.

LIFETIME AWARD FOR LIFETIME.

YEAH. HOPE.

PICKLEBALL COURTS. THEY'RE JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO SORT OUT THE LIST.

THE REALITY IS ABOUT TO OPEN A FOUR COURT, OUTDOOR FULL COURT, FOUR COURT COMPLEX AT COMMUNITY PARK BACK THERE BY BURNETT JUNIOR HIGH. YEAH, THEY'RE GOING TO OPEN THIS FALL.

SO I GUESS TWO THINGS.

YES. YEAH, THAT'S BASICALLY IT RIGHT THERE.

RECOMMEND FUNDING FOR THE.

WELL, WHAT'S THE.

THE RECOMMENDATION.

CAN YOU PULL UP THE. CAN YOU DO YOU HAVE BORED DOGS? CAN YOU PULL UP THE ACTUAL AGENDA ITEM? RECIPIENT RECOMMENDATION.

[00:35:09]

IT WAS ON YOUR PRESENTATION JUST A MINUTE AGO.

WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR PRESENTATION? I SAW THEM IN THERE. OH, SURE.

THANK YOU. TALKED ABOUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE LAST PAGE, RIGHT? REPLACEMENT FUND AS WELL.

NO. NO, IT WAS ON SLIDE, BUT IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE.

RIGHT THERE. THAT WAS IT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. SUGGESTED RECOMMENDATION.

I'M SORRY, LANCE. CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? I WAS RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT.

SO DOES THAT NEED TO BE IN A FORM OF MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL, THE FISCAL FISCAL YEAR 2022 AND 2023 AND 2023 AND 2024 AVAILABLE FUNDING BE APPROPRIATED. VERY SEXY.

LET'S TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE PARK AND MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PARKS AROUND THE CITY.

ON, SECONDED BY PAT.

OH, YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT.

SORRY. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. WE'LL WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT WHEN WE COME UP AND.

AS ALWAYS, I'LL INCLUDE YOU ON EVERYTHING AND WE PROGRESS, SO IT'S AWESOME.

[7. Discuss and receive an update on the J.K. Sachse Park]

YES. FOR THOSE THAT WERE IN THE PARK BOARD MEETING, I DID AN UPDATE ON THE GRAND OPENING AS WELL AS THE PARK ITSELF.

I JUST TO EXPAND ON THAT, I JUST WANT TO SAY I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE DIRECTION LEISURE SERVICES AND PARKS AND SPECIFICALLY IS GOING IN THE CITY OF SACHSE.

THIS PROJECT, I BELIEVE, HAS REALLY KICK STARTED THE COMMUNITY INTO PRIORITIZING LEISURE SERVICES IN THE CITY.

AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEYS, WE'VE HAD INPUT, AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, CITY COUNCIL REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF COMMUNITY WE WANT TO LIVE IN.

AND I THINK THIS PARK REALLY SET THE TONE FOR THAT GOING INTO THIS BUDGET YEAR.

I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS, BUT WE'VE GOT THIS WAS AGAIN, THIS WAS A GREAT PROJECT, WELL ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY, JUST LIKE EVERYTHING WE DO, PROGRAMING ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, FACILITIES, AND IT'S GOING TO JUST KEEP GOING AS WE REACH OUR BUILD OUT POPULATION IN THE CITY.

YOU KNOW, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY IS THERE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE METROPLEX, BUT AS FAR AS PARKS, OPEN SPACE, RECREATION TRAILS, THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT IN STORE WITH OUR AREA AND MDE IS GOING TO BE A CRUCIAL PART OF THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND YOU GUYS SHOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF THIS PARK AND.

HOW IT CAME TO BE.

AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAND JUST KIND OF FALLING IN OUR LAP OUT THERE FOR THE DEVELOPER, FROM THE DEVELOPER AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS SAYING YOU CAN WE'LL SELL YOU THE LAND, BUT WE WANT LAND DEDICATED FOR THE PARK AND.

UM, YEAH.

IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING. IT'S BEEN A FUN SUMMER, AND.

YEAH, YOU GUYS SHOULD.

AGAIN. THANK YOU.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO.

CITIZEN BOARDS AND YOU GUYS AND CITIZENS SUPPORTING IT AND STAFF JUST SERVES A MINOR ROLE IN THE DIRECTION THE CITY WANTS TO GO.

AND IT'S BEEN GREAT BEING PART OF IT.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THE TAXI PART.

[00:40:03]

BUT I WANT THIS. I WANT THE MOMENTUM.

WE HAVE REALLY MOMENTUM, RIGHT? WE HAVE THERE'S A POSITIVE MOMENTUM AND THERE'S A NEGATIVE.

WE ARE TOTALLY MOVING FORWARD AND POSITIVE MOMENTUM IN OUR DEPARTMENTS AND LEISURE SERVICES AND AND NOT JUST PARKS AND REC, SENIOR CENTER LIBRARY, ALL THAT. AND I DON'T NOTHING AGAINST COVID, BUT COVID SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE JUST WANTS TO GET OUT.

ALL THE NUMBERS AT THE LIBRARY ARE HIGHER.

THE LIBRARY IS ALMOST PRE-COVID NUMBER OR NOT.

THE THE SENIOR CENTER IS ALMOST PRE-COVID NUMBERS.

AND AND WE'VE HAD A FEW SCARES, RIGHT? WE HAD A COUPLE SCARES WITH SOME COVID THINGS THEY WOULD GO DOWN.

BUT MAN, THE LAST YEAR YOU HAVEN'T HADN'T SEEN NUMBERS LIKE THAT SINCE 20 1817.

SO IT'S BEEN GREAT.

AND I EXPANDED A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT I SHOULD HAVE, BUT I JUST WANT TO KIND OF SHARE MY.

THEY WANT TO RECREATE MAN.

THEY WANT. THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO PLANO.

THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO GARLAND.

THEY. SYNTAX THAT WE CHARGE IN ORDER TO GET THIS.

AND WE'VE ALREADY SPENT IT, LIKE IF PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE SPENDING.

YEAH. AND THAT'S IF ANYONE, IF ANYONE ARGUES WITH YOU ABOUT THAT PART BEING YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY HIGHER TAXES.

THIS PART HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PROPERTY TAXES.

YEAH, ALL SALES TAX, ALL SALES TAX, EVERY PENNY OF IT.

AND THAT'S PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

YES. RIGHT.

SO IN THE COMMUNITY OUT OF TOWN.

COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN. YEAH.

YEAH. I FEEL LIKE I SAID, I TALKED TO A COUPLE PEOPLE FROM RICHARDSON AND GARLAND THAT CAME TO OUR.

A RED, WHITE AND BLUE. SO.

YOU KNOW, WE PUT MORE RESTAURANTS OUT HERE.

PEOPLE STOP BY.

YOU KNOW. SO THEY'RE COMING TO OUR WELL, SO THEY'RE COMING.

ALL RIGHT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT AGENDA ITEM LIST AT THE UPCOMING BOARD MEETING DATE.

[8. Set upcoming Board meeting date.]

SO I THINK WE WILL. WE HAVE ANY? ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.

NOW THE BUDGET WILL GO TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL ON THE 21ST, I BELIEVE, OF SEPTEMBER.

I CAN REPORT IN OCTOBER HOW THAT MEETING WENT AND THEY APPROVED OUR MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.

I COULD PROBABLY START HAVING EARLY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CONSULTANT AND JUST KIND OF GET SOME IDEAS THROWN OUT THERE.

I'VE ALREADY CYNTHIA'S ACTUALLY SENT ME A FEW PICKLEBALL CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE BUILT SOME PICKLEBALL COURTS AT HIGH POINT IN PLANO AND CHICKEN AND PICKLE IN PLANO.

SOME OF THOSE COURTS ARE REALLY NICE, SO WE'RE STARTING TO DO SOME OF THE HOMEWORK NOW, THE LEGWORK ON GETTING SOME INFORMATION.

SO I THINK IF WE MAYBE MET IN OCTOBER WOULD BE GOOD.

OKAY. OKAY. SO NEXT MEETING, OCTOBER 12TH, 7:00.

ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY'S GOOD.

WE WILL ADJOURN.

CAN I USE BICKERSTAFF'S? YOU CAN DO IT. DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.

TELL THEM. TELL THEM I DID IT.

OH, YOU GOT TO GIVE THEM.

I KNOW, ROOKIE.

NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S A GAVEL. I THINK IT'S THE MAN.
