1. CITIZEN'S INPUT - None.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 21ST 2005-
Motion to approve - Hill; Second - Walden; motion carried.
3. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CITIZEN SURVEY -
The board was given a copy of a memo Pam just received regarding the fees being charged from
Hometown Survey. The invoice gave a flat amount due, but it did not give a breakdown of what the
the fee included. The invoice also states that the survey remains the property of Hometown Survey; the
board expressed their objection to this. Pam is going to request an itemized bill so the board can see
exactly what they are paying for. The board has instructed Pam to negotiate a more reasonable payment
and bring it to the next meeting.
4. DISCUSSION OF PROCEEDING WITH DESIGN OF TRAIL SYSTEMS -
We have received a proposal from Dennis for Phase I of the Trail Plan - Ridgepointe to SCP; the
proposal is for $50, 000. There is approximately $25, 000 in TOPO Surveys that need lobe done also,
and Dennis is trying to find an engineering firm that will do it for less than that. The consensus of the
board is to move ahead with the design of Phase I of the Trail Plan.
The Legends HOA has identified some money they want to use towards beginning the trail on the gas line
easement thru the Legends. They have a meeting this week to discuss this. Pam has already informed the
HOA that she would like to be involved in the design and plans for that. At this point, they want to
build a 6 ft. trail; the neighborhood trail is 6 ft. but Pam said we want to see a ]Oft. trail or at least an 8
ft. trail. The board is excited that the HOA wants to assist with some funding for the trail and want Pam
to stay involved with their efforts.
5. UPDATE FROM DIRECTOR / ASST. DIRECTOR -
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
The sales tax shows an increase. A column was added to show a comparison between this year's and last
year's figures.
LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE -
Don informed the board that the committee has aerial photos of the parks and they are currently doing
sketches on them to show where they want to put things. When they have that done, they will go back
to the parks and make sure they haven't put something in the wrong area.
TRAIL LLIGHTS -
Jim Weathers has completed the plans. We are waiting for a diagram of what the light fixtures will look
like that will be placed on the poles before we go out for bid; when we have that diagram, we'll get it to
Bob Sparkman and tell him to put the bid out.
SLAY / BAKER PARK -
We are doing the final walk-through; the park is getting a lot of use.
AUSTIN RANCH -
Most of the work is completed. They did some hydro mulching last week, but the meter for the water
is not in yet.
CIVIC CENTER -
We are finishing the design and should have a guaranteed maximum cost from the contractor in
mid June. We'd like to take it to City Council at the end of June or early July; if approved by
City Council, construction would start at the end of July.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
