CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />10-2-11 <br />Council Date: <br />City Manager <br />Gene Anderson <br />9. <br />10-10-11 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Motion to authorize the City Manager to acquire the former roadside park on Highway 82 West for the purposes <br />of making it a City park. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />City cleanup and beautification. <br />The Manager would like to formally approach TX-DOT about acquiring the former roadside park <br />property located just past Loop 286 on Highway 82 West. Unofficial contact with the State has indicated <br />that the State would probably be willing to donate this property to the City as long as it is used for a <br />park. The property has a deed restriction to this affect by the people who originally donated the property <br />to the State. <br />Acquisition of this property would accomplish two things. First, the City could clean up a property on <br />which we regularly receive complaints. Second, given its location, this would be a great place to put a <br />gateway type sign. Such a sign in combination with a basic but neat park area would be go a long way in <br />improving the looks of the City. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />None <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Aerial and photos <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report Z Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$NA <br />❑ Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$NA <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'TD Actual <br />$NA <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
