City Manager Herrera spoke to the committee on the plan to move forward with the

this project was one of them. Location is south of FM 78. The area is approx. 45-60 acres. Brady
Baggs from Vickery and Associates presented the tentative plan for the complex. Pedestrian access
would be under FM 78, so the parking at City Hall could be utilized. They will bring back more
details of this project in approx. 45 days.

9. Staff Update/Discussion on Niemietz, Rich, Veterans and Schlather Parks.
Tim Fousse gave a staff update on the parks. The baseball fields are being rented frequently. Fall
baseball is getting started keeping the field busy. Football season has started as well. The Multi -Event
Center is rented out every Saturday and Sunday for all of September, October and first week in
November. The trees and Schlather Park that were dying and under warranty are being replaced by
the contractor. The 2013-2014 budget has allocated funds for a shade covering at Veteran's Park. So
far it has not been cut from the budget. Tim Fousse thanks Alex Gonzalez and his crew for the
tremendous work throughout these past few months. The parks and grounds have looked great.
