We put together our own Standards of Care policy in 2012 and update it annually. The policy is attached, along with an ordinance to adopt these Standards of Care. The Standards of Care lay out our minimum operating standards when conducting our Day Camp programs. Currently, Day Camps are conducted 4 times throughout the year (Summer, Spring Break, and during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays). Our Standards of Care policy was reviewed by staff in the Child Care Licensing division at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. After their review they stated that our Standards of Care contain everything that they require to receive the exemption certificate. As part of the DFPS requirements, the policy must be adopted by City Council on an annual basis in order to maintain our exemption certificate through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. If you have any questions, please let me know. 34 City of The Colony Standards of Care for Kidz Kamp Camp Program PURPOSE The following Standards of Care are intended to be minimum standards by which the City of The Colony Parks and Recreation Department will operate the City’s Kidz Kamp day camp program. This program operated by the City of The Colony is recreational in nature and are not licensed by the State of Texas nor operated as day care program.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project is located at 5151 N Colony Blvd., The Colony, TX 75056 (Site) and consists of Professional Architectural and Engineering Design Services for the renovation and potential expansion of the existing buildings including the Police/Courts Building (13,279 sq ft) and the Recreation Center Building (14,091 sq ft). A key component of this effort will be evaluating how both buildings function together as a cohesive campus, including operational adjacencies, security zoning, and long-term flexibility, and evaluate phasing strategies to support continued Police and Court operations throughout implementation. The Preliminary Program and Client objectives, as discussed during the building walk-through on January 21, 2026 and the follow-up meeting on February 23, 2026, are for interior demolition and remodeling in both buildings to allow for Police CID and Patrol Divisions to remain in the current Police/Courts Building and for the Police Warrants Division and the Municipal Court to move to the current Recreation Center Building. Site improvements include adding a secure parking lot for the Police Department (approx. 10,000 sq ft) to the Police/Courts Building. The Project construction budget is not yet known and will be determined during the Pre-Design Phase of our Services.
