Page 3 Swimming Pool Committee Jan. 3, 1995 Committee that 96% of the grants that this firm has applied for in connection with other municipalities have been accepted either on the first or second attempt. Mr. Boots further advised that there are several thing that we have to have in the application, one is a Master Plan for Parks and Recreation Department, which we do not have, and this firm will do that if we supply them the information, and the mapping, so for less than a $1,000.00 we can get a Parks and Recreation Department Master Plan for the City of Paris. The second thing we have to have, not through the City Council, I can hold them myself, three public hearings between now and January 20th, advertise in the newspaper for citizens input on what they would like to see in Recreational Facilities in Paris, and report back to the Committee. We have to do this in order to fill out a portion of the application. The City Council will have to authorize an resolution authorizing the application, and we have to have the pool location set. We also need to recommend to the Council that we go with the Brannon Corporation as soon as possible because these people will need to start as soon as possible getting things together on this. Mr. Boots told the Committee that there would also be a public hearing Monday, January 9, 1995 at 6:00 P. M. to hear citizens input concerning the grant with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for a municipal swimming pool. After further discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Fulbright, seconded by Mr. Chadwick to recommend to the City Council to execute the grant application, hire the Brannon Corporation to do this project, and designate the City's property on the N. E. Loop 286 as the site for the swimming pool. The motion carried unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. ERIC CLIFFORD, CHAIRMAN ATTEST: MATTIE CUNNINGHAM, CITY CLERK
