The Council has also told Councilman Boyer that they think using the East Lake Highlands land as a permanent location for the dog park is a good idea; there is cost savings if we use this land. Council would possibly agree to this sooner if the board agrees to make this the permanent location and not temporary. He added that the Council does want a dog park but they don't know when the land at the old driving range on Main Street will be available. Richard added that the longer we wait to try and find a location, we may run out of land. Steve thanked Richard for his help with City Council and told him the board will seriously consider East Lake Highlands as the permanent location for the dog park. • Veteran's Memorial— Work on the budget and phasing for this project continues. There will be more information given to the board to review at their Oct. 9th meeting before it is presented to City Council at their Oct. 21'meeting. • Park Loop Trail— The BB Owen connector portion of the trail should be finished next week. • Kids Colony Pavilion— Duncan, Sims & Stoffels are preparing plans for the concrete work for the pavilion pad, the sidewalk surrounding the pavilion and footings for the structure. A suggestion was made to include the cost for lights on the pavilion. • Human Sundial Memorial Project— The engraving is finished and the concrete will be poured tomorrow. The dedication ceremony will be on Friday, Oct. 10`11 at 6:00. • Lions Club Pond— This has been put out to bid again, but the bid documents were modified to have the silt disposed of in the city. • Stewart Creek Park Improvements— Pam and Eve are working with the playground representative and are close to deciding on the color scheme. • Perryman Parking Lot— This project will add 22 parking spaces and have an alternate for a sidewalk. We still have to submit our application to Oncor because the parking spaces will be in part of the easement; we hope to have an encroachment agreement with Oncor to City Council at their Sept. 16111 meeting. The bids open on Tuesday and the specifications say the work has to be done in 30 days.
