1. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE NAME AND THEME FOR THE
COMMUNITY COMPLEX.
Pam informed everyone that a name and a theme needs to be decided upon tonight because
the deadline for the grant to be submitted is January 31 st. Any elements that are unique to
the park will help us score points in the grant application. It is beneficial if we can present
the entire concept in the grant application. When the grant application is being reviewed,
you want the people reviewing the grant to be able to visualize what you're intending to
build and how you will build it.
John distributed an idea for the theme he thought of He suggested the name Texas Legends
Park in The Colony and a historical or heritage theme to be used throughout the park. Pam
expressed her concern that many residents may think the name is for the Legends housing
development and the park is being build especially for those residents in that development.
David expressed his concern that because this theme may require alot of statues and plaques,
it may not be financially feasible to produce this theme. Susan stated that the 4B Board has
previously discussed using 2%-5% of the annual revenue towards public artwork.
The idea of corporate sponsorship was also expressed. It was decided to pursue that aspect
after the name of the park is decided.
Names that were suggested included ~ The Colony Complex, The Colony Civic Center, The
Colony Community Complex, The Colony Community Center, Texas Legacy Park, Hero Park,
Texas Heritage Community Complex, Texas Legacy Community Complex, Texas Heritage
Park, The Colony Heritage Complex, Texas Heritage Park & Complex, Texas Heritage
Community Complex, Texas Heritage, and Texas Heritage in The Colony.
Speaking for the 4B Board, John made a motion to approve the heritage theme and the name
Texas Heritage Community Complex. Sue seconded the motion. Susan opposed the motion.
Sue and Delmer approved the motion. The motion carried.
Speaking for the Park Board, Donna made a motion to approve the heritage theme and the
name Texas Heritage Community Complex. Jim seconded the motion. Susan and Rich
opposed the motion. John voted to approve the motion. The motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
