WELL, GOOD EVENING, BOARD AND ESTEEMED MEMBERS OF THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT. I'M HERE TO PRESENT OUR, I GUESS, DONATE SOME MONEY. JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND OF WHO I AM AND WHERE THIS MONEY IS COMING FROM. THERE'S THE BLACKLAND PRAIRIE PLAYGROUND FOUNDATION A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO THAT BUILT THE ORIGINAL PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND, THE OLD WOODEN STRUCTURE. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN PURPOSE. AND THEN WE TRANSITIONED THAT INTO A PARKS AND REC FOUNDATION FIVE ISH YEARS AGO OR SO. WE DID A LITTLE A FEW THINGS THEN, BUT REALLY WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH IN A FEW YEARS. SO CLOSING DOWN SHOP, WE HAVE SOME MONEY LEFT OVER. A LOT OF THE MONEY WAS RAISED BY THE ORIGINAL FOUNDATION MEMBERS, PARTICULARLY ANNE HANEY, IF ANYBODY KNOWS HER. BUT SHE DID A LOT OF WORK FOR FOUNDATION AND GETTING THE STUFF DONE. SO WE WANTED TO, WITH THE MONEY LEFT OVER $507.43, DONATE THAT TO WILEY PARKS AND RECREATION. AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THAT. IT'S GOING TO GO TOWARDS THE TREE AND THE PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND AREA. SO THAT'S ALL I GOT. I HOPE YOU ACCEPT THE MONEY. I DON'T HAVE A PLAN B, SO THIS IS IT. OKAY. YEAH. BRETT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR COMING IN TODAY AND HEADING UP THAT INITIATIVE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK ON THE NEW PLAYGROUND. AND I KNOW THE OLD ONE IS MISSED, BUT SO FAR, SO GOOD WITH THE NEW ONE. WHEN YOU SAY, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPAND ON THAT IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BRETT. THANKS. YEP. MY BOYS ENJOY PLAYING UP THERE TOO. SO. THANK YOU BRETT. NO PROBLEM. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. OKAY.
AND YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU. THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. SARAH, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO.

[00:05:02]
REC DEPARTMENT. AND I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME UPDATES ON ALL OF THE EXCITING PROGRAMS WE HAVE GOING ON. SO I WANT TO START BY ACTUALLY HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF OUR PAST EVENTS. THIS SPRING HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD ONE, A LOT OF SUCCESS ACROSS ALL OF OUR FACILITIES, WHICH IS EXCITING. THE REC CENTER HELD THE EASTER BUNNY BRUNCH ON APRIL 4TH. THIS ONE IS A FAMILY FAVORITE. ALWAYS FILLS UP SUPER FAST. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 72 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE TO HANG OUT WITH THE EASTER BUNNY, HAVE SOME SNACKS, AND SOME FUN.COMMUNITY PARK CENTER HELD THEIR 13TH ANNUAL SENIOR PROM ON APRIL THE 17TH AT THE CROSS CHURCH SPECIAL EVENT CENTER. THIS YEAR'S THEME WAS BOOTS AND BLING, AND BOY, DID THEY SHOW UP WITH THEIR BOOTS AND THEIR BLING. SO THEY HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME WITH THAT THEME. IT WAS AWESOME. WE HAD 140 TOTAL GUESTS SHOW UP FOR THAT. THEY ENJOYED A CATERED MEAL, LIVE ENTERTAINMENT, AND OF COURSE, DANCING. CAN'T FORGET THAT. AND I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE SHOUT OUT TO TARA AND THEN CINDY AND VALERIE WHO WEREN'T HERE, BUT THEY VOLUNTEERED THAT DAY AND GOT IN THE TRENCHES WITH US AND HELPED SERVE FOOD AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. SO IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO US, THE STAFF, WHEN YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO GET IN THERE WITH US AND SEE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE ALL OF THIS AWESOME STUFF HAPPEN. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE WELCOME CENTER AT BROWN HOUSE CONTINUED THEIR AMERICA 250 CELEBRATION WITH THE MARTHA WASHINGTON TEA PARTY THAT TOOK PLACE ON APRIL 25TH. AND THAT EVENT WAS HOSTED BY MARTHA WASHINGTON HERSELF.
SO WE HAD A REENACTOR COME IN AND DO THAT, AND SHE WALKED EVERYBODY THROUGH. THERE WERE 26 PEOPLE TOTAL, WALKED HIM THROUGH HIGH TEA. YOU KNOW, HOW TO DO THE PLACE SETTINGS, ALL THE PROPER THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT. THEY LEARNED COLONIAL GAMES AND DANCES, AND THEN THEY ALSO HAD A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE HOUSE AND EXHIBITS. SO THAT ONE WAS REALLY FUN. BUT MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE A FULL MAY, SO WE REALLY PACK IT OUT. SUMMER KICK OFF IS GOING TO BE BACK HERE AT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX. IT'S TAKING PLACE ON MAY 29TH FROM 9 A.M. TO 1145.
IT'S A REALLY BIG ONE. WE HOST THIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR FRIENDS OVER AT THE LIBRARY.
GUESTS CAN COME, THEY CAN DO INFLATABLES. THEY HAVE SUMMER CAMP, INSTRUCTOR MEET AND GREETS. THEY CAN REGISTER FOR CAMPS, CLASSES, REC PASSES, THERE'S FOOD TRUCKS, THERE'S A FOAM PARTY. THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON. IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME AND IT'S SERVES AS A REALLY GOOD REGISTRATION CAMP CLASS DRIVE FOR US. WE SAW ALMOST 3000 PEOPLE LAST YEAR AT THIS ONE, SO IT IS A PERFECT TOUCH POINT FOR US IN OUR TARGET MARKET. SO IT'S A REALLY, REALLY GOOD EVENT. WHAT TIME DOES THAT ONE START? YOU SAID THE 29TH. IT IS. IT'S FRIDAY THE 29TH FROM 9 TO 1145. JENNY WHAT'S THE PARKING SITUATION THIS YEAR. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO PARKING IS ALWAYS FUN. TYPICALLY THIS PARKING LOT BY 830 IS FULL. SO WE HAVE OVERFLOW OVER AT COLLIN COLLEGE. AND WE DO HAVE A SHUTTLE THAT RUNS. SO IT'S A VERY BIG EVENT.
BUT THAT'S WORKED OUT REALLY NICELY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CHOOSE TO WALK. TYPICALLY THEY'LL WALK HERE AND BY THE END OF IT, THE KIDS ARE TIRED, SO THEY'LL SHUTTLE BACK ONCE THEY GET IN THAT FOAM PARTY. THAT'S A LOT OF WET CLOTHES. YEAH, IT'S A FUN EVENT. IT'S A LOT OF FUN. AND THEN BLUEGRASS ON BALLARD ALSO COMING UP THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE WE LIKE TO HAVE FUN AND PILE EVERYTHING IN ONE. SO THAT IS SATURDAY, MAY 30TH. AND ALONGSIDE ALL OF THE MUSIC, THE VENDORS, THE CAR SHOW, THE BROWN HOUSE STAFF ARE GOING TO PASS OUT POPSICLES FROM 2 TO 4 P.M. SO THAT'S ALWAYS THEY GO FAST BECAUSE IT IS TYPICALLY A PRETTY HOT DAY.
SO VERY FUN ONE. AND OF COURSE, WE'D LOVE FOR ANYBODY TO JOIN US WHO WANTS TO. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU'VE GOT THE TIME. FILL OUT THAT SPRING VOLUNTEER FORM AND JULIE WILL REACH OUT WITH MORE DETAILS. AND THEN SUMMER, WE'RE HERE GUYS. SUMMER CAMPS ARE HAPPENING. THE REC CENTER HAS 90 MORE THAN 90 ACTUALLY EXCITING CAMPS, MINI CAMPS AND WORKSHOPS HAPPENING ALL SUMMER LONG. THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY HAVE 12 WEEKS OF CAMP BECAUSE OF HOW WYLIE ISD SCHEDULE LANDED. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A WHOLE EXTRA WEEK, WHICH IS A REALLY FUN TIME FOR US.
THAT'S A GREAT REVENUE DRIVE FOR US. IT IS TAKING PLACE FROM MAY 26TH TO AUGUST 12TH, AND OUR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD THIS YEAR. SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW, WE ACTUALLY DO A DISCOUNT REGISTRATION DRIVE WITH OUR CAMPS. SO WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE TIME FRAMES WHERE YOU CAN GET A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DISCOUNT IN. THE CLOSER IT GETS TO THE DATE, IT GETS A LITTLE BIT LESS AND IT'S GONE REALLY WELL THIS YEAR. SO WE BROUGHT IN A TOTAL OF $191,069 IN REVENUE, WHICH IS A 14% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR. SO CAMPS ARE BOOMING. WE'RE VERY EXCITED. SO IT'LL BE REALLY FUN TO SEE WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF SUMMER WHAT THAT ALL LOOKS LIKE. AND THEN
[00:10:05]
SPEAKING OF SUMMER, ONE MORE THING FOR YOU GUYS. OUR SUMMER REGISTRATION IS STARTING ON JUNE 1ST. SO THAT'S OUR SUMMER SEASON, JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER. AND WE ALWAYS HAVE OUR EARLY BIRD ONLINE REGISTRATION WHERE GUESTS CAN REGISTER ONLINE FOR MOST ACTIVITIES. SAVE 5%, COMBINE IT WITH THE REC PASS TO GET UP TO 20%. SO IT'S A REALLY GOOD WAY TO PUSH PEOPLE INTO GETTING INTO THOSE ACTIVITIES EARLY. WE LOVE THAT. AND THEN THE BOOK IS COMING SOON, SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT. BUT THAT IS ALL I HAVE. SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D LOVE TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU. NOTHING. ARE WE DOING THE TRAIN? WE ARE DOING THE TRAIN. SUMMER KICKOFF AGAIN? YES. OKAY, SO TRAIN IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR THINGS WE OFFER AT SUMMER KICKOFF. AND LAST YEAR WE ADDED A TRAIN. SO WE HAVE THREE RUNNING CONSECUTIVELY AND IT WORKS OUT PRETTY WELL. SO THEY DO THAT NICE LITTLE LOOP BACK HERE ON THE MUNICIPAL TRAIL. SO IT'S A FUN TIME. LOTS OF BOUNCE HOUSES. DJ BOOTH, WHO'S THE CLOWN? CAN'T MISS FOCUS. WHAT IS THE THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR THAT YOU'RE SEEING OVER THE YEARS FOR THAT EVENT? IS IT REALLY SMALL KIDS OR ARE THEY THAT'S A PRETEEN LIKE I WOULD SAY LIKE THE 60S TO THE PRETEEN. SO YOU'LL GET A COUPLE OF TEENAGERS WANDERING IN BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMING TO THE REC CENTER TO PLAY BASKETBALL. BUT THE GYM IS FULLY CLOSED DOWN BECAUSE WE HAVE STUFF ACROSS THE ENTIRE THING. SO, YOU KNOW, THEY STICK AROUND AND HANG OUT, BUT DEFINITELY THE YOUNGER FAMILIES ARE COMING IN AND THOSE ARE REALLY WHO ARE SIGNING UP FOR OUR CAMPS. SO IT WORKS OUT REALLY NICELY THAT WE CAN BE LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH YOUR KIDS THIS SUMMER. WE HAVE SOMETHING GREAT FOR YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? SORRY.ONE MORE. DID YOU MENTION WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THE SENIORS SUNDAY? OH, I DID NOT. SO I AM ACTUALLY TAKING 20 OF OUR SENIORS FROM COMMUNITY PARK CENTER OVERSEAS ON A BRITISH LANDSCAPES TOUR. SO WE WILL BE GONE FOR TEN DAYS. IT'S VERY EXCITING. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW SINCE REGISTRATION STARTED. SO IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE LIKE, WHOA, WHAT'S HAPPENING? SO BUT THEY'RE A FUN GROUP. IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME ON THOSE TRIPS. HOW DO WE VOLUNTEER FOR THAT ONE? WE NEED TO GET YOU SIGNED UP. WE HAVE ITALY COMING UP IN 2027. I KNOW BRANT KEEPS TRYING. OH MAN, YOU HAVE TO TALK TO CARMEN. SORRY.
I THINK I SHOULD BE THERE FOR THE 30TH THOUGH, SO I'LL TRY. I'LL TRY TO SIGN UP FOR THAT ONE. OKAY, PERFECT. YEAH. THE MORE THE MERRIER. SO IT REALLY IS A GREAT WAY TO JUST TALK AND SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. SO YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE PROJECT UPDATES. I BELIEVE BRANT HAS GIVEN THOSE.
YES. SO I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT FOR YOU. I'LL JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT REALLY DOING A WHOLE LOT OF PROJECTS. HOWEVER, IT'S JUST THE PLANS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. JUST, JUST MORE OF A REMINDER, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WORKING ON THE COMMUNITY PARK AND FOUNDERS PARK PARKING ENGINEERING FIRMS GOT THOSE. THEY'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE. HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS PRETTY SOON. WE DO HAVE THE CONCEPTUAL ONE FOR BRADDOCK PARK THAT WE'RE ALSO DOING. AGAIN, THAT ONE'S NOT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. IT'S JUST BASICALLY GIVING US A CONCEPTUAL OF WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THOSE TWO PARCELS OF LAND. THE OTHER ONE IS BROWN HOUSE, OUTDOOR RESTROOMS, PAVILION, AND SOME PARKING UPDATES THERE AS WELL.
ALL OF THOSE PLANS ARE WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON. WE DO STILL HAVE OUR TWO PLAYGROUNDS, TWO THAT WE ARE REPLACING THIS YEAR. WE ARE DOING SOUTHBROOK AND CREEKSIDE SOUTH. THOSE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE. HOPEFULLY BE GETTING PURCHASE ORDERS ON THOSE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. SO THE GOAL OBVIOUSLY ON THOSE WOULD BE TO GET THEM DONE IN THE SUMMER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT BE HITTING KIND OF TOWARDS THE END OF THE SUMMER GETTING THOSE COMPLETE, BUT THOSE ARE PRETTY MUCH THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE. SCOTT. JUST SO I NOTICED, THE SPLASH PADS ARE OPEN. ARE THEY FUNCTIONAL? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE STATUS WITH THEM? GREAT QUESTION. SO EAST MEADOW IS GOING REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW. COMMUNITY PARK. WE DID HAVE A PARK THAT HAS GONE DOWN. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THAT PART HERE SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT ONE UP AND RUNNING. BUT COMMUNITY PARK, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY HERE SOON GETTING THAT ONE GOING. BUT YEAH, OTHER THAN THAT, EAST MEADOW IS GOING REALLY WELL. SPLASH PAD BRANT, CAN YOU SAY A
[00:15:05]
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PART THAT WE NEED, WHAT IT'S FOR AND WHY IT'S SO CRITICAL? YEAH. SO IT'S ACTUALLY THE UV CHAMBER AT COMMUNITY PARK. SO THESE SPLASH PADS HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF TREATMENT. THEY ARE TREATED WITH CHEMICALS. AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO TREATED WITH UV LIGHT. WHEN THIS WHEN EITHER ONE OF THOSE FAIL, WE COMPLETELY SHUT IT DOWN. WE WANT BOTH LEVELS OF TREATMENT. SO THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL PART, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE NOT OPENED UP COMMUNITY PARK. RIGHT NOW. IT'S THE ACTUAL UV CHAMBER, BUT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR REP. THEY ARE SENDING US ANOTHER ONE THIS WEEK, OR AT LEAST IT'S BEING ORDERED THIS WEEK. WE'RE HOPING TO GET IT HOPEFULLY SOMETIME NEXT WEEK AND GET IT INSTALLED. SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO THE THIRD WORK SESSION ITEM PARKS AND REC SPORTS UPDATES.
