Agenda Item No. 7A, Matching funds request from Grapevine Southlake Soccer Association for
purchase and construction of shade structures at Bob Jones Park Deputy Director of Community
Services Steve Polasek presented this item to the Board. The Grapevine Southlake Soccer Association
(GSSA) has submitted a request to the City for consideration of matching funds in the amount of $5,000
for the purchase and installation of three shade structures. The proposal would allow for three shade
structures on the soccer fields and one to be located on the east side of the existing playground to
provide shade for parents and children. The proposed shade structures would consist of steel poles with
a polyethylene shade cloth. Suggested colors are tan poles with a forest green cover. These natural,
earth tone shades will blend with the existing facilities. The shade structures were approved as part of
the recent site plan at Bob Jones Park which included three shade structures at the soccer fields and one
shade structure by the existing playground. One shade structure currently exists today on the soccer field
area of Bob Jones Park. The Park and Recreation Board recommended approval 8-0.
