DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
1) Working on dedication program for Hyde Park. Ordered a plaque from South
Park. Dedication will probably be held sometime in early summer.
2) Staff is working on summer musicals for June. Working on obtaining funding as
we will be bringing in professional musicians. Musicals will be held Tuesdays in
front of City Hall.
3) Easter Egg Hunt was well attended, about 1,000 persons.
4) Community Band had premier 1998 indoor performance. Band performed well.
The approximately 100 in attendance cheered the band on. The acoustics were
good in the auditorium and the musicians appreciated it. The July 4th Freedom
Festival is the band's next performance.
5) Attended the VFW Regional visit by the Commander -in -Chief. This was not a
City event, but the City was there to support the VFW.
6) Banbury Subdivision did clean-up day of Hyde Park on April 4.
7) Park Donation Fund — As of March 31 the official balance was $2,759.
8) May 14 - Brazoria County is having a fact finding mission to put together county
wide park master plan. They want to do one here in Pearland, and we offered
them the opportunity to use Pearland East Junior High. It is a chance for people
to come out and tell them what they want. They said meetings have been "flops"
as far as attendance went. After questioning found out their meetings are at 6:30
p.m., but they will move them to 7.00 p.m. All members of the board are
welcome to attend.
9) The Board is invited to join City Council and the Planning and Zoning
Commission at 6.30 p.m. in Council Chambers as they will be reviewing the City
Comprehensive Plan. The update to the Park Master Plan is part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
10) Dwayne Lum had asked about screen system at Independence Park lake. Ed
informed the Board that a screen will be installed.
11)
12) Richard Swint, one of our park maintenance workers and his wife, had a baby
girl. Sandi Kincannon is leaving to go to new job.
Ed passed out programs from the Community Band concert. Paul Knoble recommended
something in the future about getting word out. Perhaps as more people communicate
they will get it out by word of mouth. Maybe in the future do three indoor concerts, or,
more realistically, two per year. There are plans to bring in San Jacinto students into the
band since San Jac does not have a band. Benefactors were recognized on the program as
well as on a poster as well as from the stage.
Bill Chase called for questions. There were none.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
None
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
1) Park Master Plan — It was agreed at the last meeting that after doing the survey the
pool was number one. Second on the survey was hike and bike.
Third, Soccer fields; fourth, stand-alone rec center; fifth, tennis complex; sixth,
miniature golf, seventh, amphitheater; eighth, golf.
A discussion was held regarding merits of different programs and costs affiliated
with them.
Dwayne Lum made a motion that the Board recommends the Family Aquatic
Center be number one priority and the other items on the survey will be
prioritized according the cost and feasibility. Seconded by Rosella Webb. Called
for discussion. There was none. Called for vote, all in favor.
This motion will be made known to City Council.
OTHER BUSINESS:
None.
