Memo

From: David Swain, Recreation Manager

Pam Nelson, Community Services Director
Brian Vonderlin, Athletics Supervisor
Date: 8/11/2020
Re: New Youth Baseball CSA
Several months ago, the local CSA (co-sponsored association) that was providing the youth
baseball program in The Colony (TCYBA) informed us of their intent to cease operations as an
organization. Since that time, staff has put together an informal RFP to solicit a new provider for
recreational youth baseball in our community. The RFP was provided to all known youth
baseball providers in the area in June. From that process there were two proposals received,
from Keep Calm & Baseball On and from Rec Tourney Baseball.
Staff spent several weeks evaluating the proposals and met virtually with both organizations to
discuss their plans and ideas that were presented in their proposals. While both proposals had
merits, staff determined that the proposal received from Keep Calm & Baseball On (KC&BO)
seemed best suited to keep a focus on recreational baseball (versus select team baseball
and/or tournament play). Staff met several additional times with the individuals from KC&BO to
work out the details of the co-sponsored agreement, and at this time both PARD staff and the
KC&BO staff desire to move forward with making KC&BO the new CSA for youth baseball in
The Colony.
Staff recommends approval of the amended Athletic Facility Usage/Rental Policy for youth
baseball operations, which includes the Facility Usage Agreement that has been signed by
KC&BO and will become valid upon approval by Council.
Please let me know in advance if you have any questions or concerns.

Date:August 10, 2020
Re:Security Camera Systems
Purpose
To consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of security camera systems from STS360, in
the amount of $36,749.28to be installed at the Five Star Complex and Stewart Creek Park.This
request is to be funded by the Community Development Corporation and Lake Parks fund
utilizing funds budgeted in the Capital Projects List FY19/20 for security cameras. Install will
include 8 cameras at Stewart Creek Park and 13 at Five Star.
Background
This project is requested in response to an increased need for security cameras at both Five
Star and Stewart Creek Park. We have been working with the IT department to create a system
that will integrate with the already established camera systems installed throughout various City
facilities. This project began early in 2020, but was put on hold due to COVID-19 uncertainties.
As there has been more traffic in our parks, we have also noted an increase in vandalism,
including graffiti and damage to amenities. Our goal is to implement a series of cameras
throughout Five Star and Stewart Creek Park, in the areas most heavily impacted by vandalism,
and those that are the most heavily trafficked.
At Stewart Creek Park, this will include cameras on the Gate House, both inside and outside.
The inside camera will allow for increased monitoring of transactions with park users. We will
also position cameras on the outside of the building to monitor the road entering the park, and
the boat ramp parking lot. A new pole will be installed at the park attendant/entry site with
cameras installed monitoring the park attendant’s trailer and the main entry gate. Inside the park,
we will position cameras on the existing pavilion to monitor the restrooms, swim beach, and
pavilion parking lot.
At Five Star, we are placing cameras within both concession buildings. Each will have a camera
placed inside the concession stand, as well as two cameras in the concession plaza, focused
35
2
on the restrooms and the concession windows/doors. We will also mount cameras on the roof
of each concession building, focused on field spaces. This will allow us to have “eyes” on most
of the park.
Additional information from Chris Cuellar, IT Department:
The City currently has 232 surveillance cameras at 23 locations (Jail cameras are not included).
We are asking to add 8 cameras at Stewart Creek Park and 13 at the Five Star Complex.
STS360 is a video management solutions provider who has installed surveillance cameras for
the City for the past 5 years and is being recommended for the install and configuration of
surveillance cameras for both SCP and Five Star.
Around March of 2019 the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator Brett Beene suggested
that we comparison shop to determine if we were getting the best possible pricing. After
researching two other competitors it was found that pricing from STS360 was the lowest overall
and the decision was made to continue using STS360 for camera projects going forward.
If approved, the Stewart Creek Park and Five Star Complex camera projects will be purchased
from STS360 using the State of Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contract
which is a cooperative purchasing program for state and local government, education, and other
public entities in Texas.
Recommendation
Our recommendation is to approve this expenditure. We met with the Technology Board on
August 10, and received their approval for this project. Please feel free to contact me with
additional questions
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

collection $398,44.27 (90 days of operating costs) was allocated to a “Pre-paid Expense” line
item. An additional $60,245.00 is being added to the total assessment to recover costs from
parcel specific Enhanced Development Services described in Exhibit D. The total sum of the
Public Improvement Costs, The 90 Days of operating costs, and the parcel specific Enhanced
Developmental services brings the overall assessment to $2,074,602.15. The surplus of
$402,176.00 was allocated proportionately to reduce the 2020-21 Assessment from
$2,074,602.15 to $1,672,426.15
1.8 The Act governs the process by which the Public Improvements Cost is allocated to and
assessed against the Property. This process requires the preparation of an ongoing service plan
(a "Service Plan"), an assessment plan (an "Assessment Plan"), and an assessment roll (an
"Assessment Roll").

1.9 The Act requires the preparation, and the presentment to and review and approval by the
City Council, of a Service Plan covering a period of at least five years and defining the annual
indebtedness and projected costs of the Public Improvements. The Service Plan must be
reviewed and updated at least annually to determine the annual budget for the Public
Improvements. The Service Plan is contained in Section 3.
1.10 The Act requires the Service Plan to include an Assessment Plan. The Assessment Plan
assesses the Public Improvements Cost against the Property on the basis of the special benefits
conferred upon the Property by the Public Improvements. The Public Improvements Cost may
be assessed in any manner that results in imposing equal shares of the cost on Parcels similarly
benefited. The special benefit of the Public Improvements is being apportioned by this Service
and Assessment Plan to the Property in the amount of the Public Improvements Cost. The
Assessment Plan is contained in Section 4.
1.11 The Act requires the preparation of an Assessment Roll after the total Public
Improvements Cost has been determined. The Assessment Roll must state the assessment
against each Parcel determined by the method of assessment chosen by t he City Council in the
Assessment Plan. The assessment against a Parcel must be sufficient to pay the share of the
Public Improvements Cost allocated to the Parcel and cannot exceed the special benefit
conferred upon the Parcel. The Assessment Roll is contained in Section 5.

the City within 30 days of the levy of the Assessment unless billed with the annual property tax
collection in which case payments are due and payable as provided on the tax statement.

security needs of the Facility, above those provided as part of the City's basic municipal services,
one hundred percent of the Public Improvements for the traffic management system/control
equipment and one hundred percent of the enhanced police services are attributable to the
Facility Property. The Facility Property is a single economic unit comprised of two tax parcels.
The costs attributable the Public Improvements for the traffic management system and enhanced
police services are allocated to the two tax parcels based on acreage.
During the development of the 2018-19 assessment, a series of Enhanced Development Services
were identified that provided specific benefits to several individual parcels. Due to the nature of
these services and the scope they cover, they are not easily forecasted for inclusion in a budget.
Instead these costs will be reconciled annually and directly assessed to the parcels that benefitted
starting with the 2019-20 assessment (See Exhibit E for final adjusted assessments). This
provides a more accurate assessment and allows the costs of those services to be recovered from
the properties that have directly benefited from them. The total of these services is $60,245.00
for the 2020-21 assessment. A detailed use report of these Enhanced Development Services is
available upon request.
The enhanced development services, lake maintenance, and the street and roadway Public
Improvements are allocated on a per-acre basis to the Facility Property, the Waterfront Property
and the Related Development Property such that the Facility Property is apportioned
approximately 44.23 percent (107.47 Facility Property/242.985 total acres); the Waterfront
Property is apportioned approximately 6.76 percent (16.421 Waterfront Property/242.985 total
acres); and the Related Development Property is apportioned approximately 49.01 percent
(119.095 Related Development Property/242.985 total acres).
