in use by the City.
Councilmember Owens stated there is concern about having facilities rented out for concerts and
events that would cause noise for the residential areas surrounding the facility.
City Manager Clay Pearson stated Independence Park is situated in an area near a High School
where similar events would happen and it would not be unreasonable to have events end at a
specific time or only occur on weekends.
Councilmember Owens stated he is in support of the project but wanted to make sure light
pollution, traffic and noise were all taken into consideration on this project.
Councilmember Hernandez asked staff if part of the additional cost is associated with the event

be made to support the needed lights and equipment.

committee.

Council was elected to make those decisions, however if it does pass then Councilmembers
Page 10 of 12
whose idea it was to create this committee or have previously served on one should not be
appointed.
Mayor Pro -Tem Perez stated in the past these committees have been created and are successful.
Councilmember Hernandez asked what would be accomplished with a subcommittee that cannot
already be accomplished through Planning and Zoning acting on direction from Council.
Councilmember Moore stated items could be added to the Agenda and discussed individually.

and this would allow contributions from Council, staff and residents.

and he does not support the creation of other committees.

those could be added to the Agenda and discussed all at once.

hoc committee, advantages, disadvantages and the option to vote down the creation of additional
committees.

appointment of members. He further stated the Resolution could be voted on as Part A being the
