1986-10-11 PEARLAND PARKS, RECREATION AND BEAUTIFICATION BOARD REGULAR MEETING MINUTESMinutes of the monthly meeting of the Pearland Parks,
Recreation and Beautification Board held Saturday, Octorber
11, 1986, at the Pearland Community Center, 3523 Liberty
Drive, Pearland, Texas.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Pro-tem Larry
Juull with the following present: Inez Farmer, Tootie
McComb, Bob Pond, James Skipper, Claude Stegall, and
Director Barry Lastik. Barry reported George Triebel was
unable to attend.
The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and
approved on the motion of Claude Stegall, seconded by James
Skipper, and the vote of the Board.
The Director presented the department reports and answered
questions. Income from the swimming pool was $18,000 while
personnel expenses were $18,200. Due to school starting
and the weather attendance in September was very poor. It
is recommended that- we do not open the pool on weekends
after school starts.
Work in Independence Park included; completion of wheel
chair ramps at the restroom and widening of the foot bridge
which is about 50% complete.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Board performed on site
inspections for final approval of Independance Park and
progress approval of McLean Park phase I last week.
Progress on McLean Park is continuing with the completion
of the limestore road by county personnel, leveling of the
all play area and installation of a portable building in
which material for construction of the picnic tables will
be stored.
It is estimated that phase one of McLean Park development
will be completed by April. Phase II should start in about
one year. It will take about six months to get plans
approved and construction must begin with nine months after
approval and completion within three years.
Due to the amount of city money which can be allocated to
this project the staff is recommending that the grant plans
be ammended to exclude all nonrecreational facilities and
continue with the grant. It should be noted that the grant
could be ammended at a later date to include these items
should the money be available.
A motion not to give a beautification award this month was
