Agenda Item No 6A Approval of the Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of CISD Carroll
Intermediate School playing field.
Director of Community Services Kevin Hugman commented that the proposed interlocal agreement
for Carroll Intermediate School playing field comes directly as a result of the proposed lighting of the
field to accommodate the Southlake Carroll Lacrosse Association. Key points of the agreement
include:
• City shall allocate $150,000 towards the construction of the lighting (as approved by SPDC
through the FY 2001/02 CIP)
• Field maintenance fee will be established in accordance with the field maintenance fees
already in place for youth sports associations. The City and CISD will split the fees
collected with fifty percent going to each entity.
• City will maintain the lighting and equipment and will be responsible for electrical cost
associated with the lighting.
• CISD will establish the turf and maintain the fields through mowing, aeration, irrigation
and fertilization.
• City use of the field shall be from 4:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, 8:00
a.m. - 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Sundays. With the
exception of pre-scheduled games, CISD reserves the right to use the field beyond 4:30
p.m. during the week, or anytime on Saturday, and Sunday for special school functions.
• Term of the agreement is for 5 years and can be automatically renewed for additional 5-
year periods.
• JUC recommended approval at its Nov. 8 meeting.
Board member O'Conner asked whether or not field maintenance fees were the same as those for the
other associations. Mr. Hugman explained that the fees were the same as for baseball and softball.
Motion was made to approve the Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of CISD Carroll Intermediate
School playing field.

Agenda Item No. 6B. Award of bid to Green Scaping for trail construction at Bicentennial Park
and Royal & Annie Smith Park. Public Hearing.
Director Hugman informed the Board that Green Scaping submitted the low bid in the amount of
$167,840 which includes construction of a new trail that would circle around the easterly perimeter of
Bicentennial Park and connect the existing trails and sidewalks within the park, and to the planned
TMB trail along North White Chapel. The bid also includes construction of an eight-foot trail

providing a northern loop within Royal and Annie Smith Park as well as connect the planned off-road
sidewalk along Johnson Road to the southern entrance of Florence Elementary. Mr. Hugman also
said that funds have been expended for the demolition and removal of existing structures and debris in
the amount of $7,360. He explained that funding for the project will include $99,747.64 remaining in
the FY 1998-99 budget for Bicentennial Park trail improvements, $50,000 allocated in FY 1999-2000
for Royal and Annie Smith Park improvements, and $30,000 from the Neighborhood Park
improvements line item to make up the difference and to provide a contingency of $5,000 ($99,747.64
+ 50,000 + 30,000 = $179, 747.64; $167,840 + 7,360 + 5,000 = $180,200).
Mr. Hugman explained to the Board that staff did apply for a grant with the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department for the Smith Park trail, but TPW awarded the grant to the equestrian trail project since it
involved several cities including Southlake. He also commented that TxDOT has recommended that
trails be constructed with a minimum width of 8' because of safety issues.
There were no comments from the audience during the public hearing.
Motion was made to award the bid to Green Scaping in the amount of $167,840 for trail construction
at Bicentennial Park and Royal and Annie Smith Park.
