1. WORKSESSION TO DISCUSS PRIORITIES, EXPECTIONS, AND TIMELINES FOR THE
FOLLOWING COMMITTEES -
There was discussion that some committees will need to meet soon as work is already in progress or is
getting ready to start in some areas listed below. It was decided to have 2 Co-Chairs - one person from
each board will co-chair on each committee. They will serve as contacts for the committee, keep the
committee informed as needed, and schedule meetings. Each board should include updates from the
committees in their agendas.
ARTS MASTER PLAN -
There was discussion about doing a community survey to help determine priorities. A
recommendation was made to determine a vision first then do a survey. An RFP needs to be
developed by the committed to hire a consultant; the consultant can't be hired based on cost, they
have to be hired based on their qualifications. Keith or Pam can provide copies of the RFP used
for the CDC Master Plan and Stewart Creek Park Master Plan to be used as examples for the
committee. Lisa will Co-Chair for the CDC Board and Jeff will Co-Chair for the CAB Board.
They will meet on July 13`h in the Parks & Rec. Administrative office board room.
SOUNDWALL ART PANELS -
This project is not a critical item as it is still a couple years away from construction. Different
concepts have been discussed. There will be 22 panels that are 6ft. x 6ft. and 5 inches deep.
TXDOT will pay for a cast stone basic design, but the city absorbs the maintenance cost. Stephen
is Co-Chair for the CDC Board and Casey is Co-Chair for the CAB Board. They will do research
on designs and get some examples for their meeting in September.
• STEWARTS CREEK PARK ARTWORK -
There was discussion about creating a new entry feature and installing Park Pets. Anything done
should be coordinated with the Stewart Creek Park Master Plan. John will Co-Chair for the CDC
Board and Donna will Co-Chair for the CAB Board, and a meeting will be scheduled for August.
KALEIDOSCAPES -
There was discussion about putting these in other locations. A suggestion was made to do a study
in the Arts Master Plan to determine where to put them in the community, funding and how they
will be built; will there be a community build like the originals were built? Vandalism is also a
concern. Don will Co-Chair for the CDC Board and Liz will Co-Chair for the CAB Board.
They will meet in September.
• KIDS COLONY NAME BOARD AND ARTWORK -
The entire playground will not be torn down in the first phase. Name boards will be kept for use
in the new playground; inventory is still in progress. Dan will Co-Chair for the CDC Board and
Joan will Co-Chair for the CAB Board. They will meet in July.
TOWER DESIGN -
This project needs to move quickly. Kathy Braby will Co-Chair for the CDC Board and Kathy
Costa will Co-Chair for the CAB Board. They will meet after July 4`I'.

No action was taken.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
