_________________________________________________________________________
Action Requested:
Consider approval of SPDC Matching Funds Request from the Oak Pointe
Homeowner’s Association in the amount of $3,669 for the purchase and
installation of a pond aerator at Oak Pointe Park.
Background
Information:
The Oak Pointe subdivision is located off of Ridgecrest, just north of Dove
Road in the northern portion of Southlake. The development contains
approximately 8.09 acres of public park land known as Oak Pointe Park.
During the summer months, the pond within the park area becomes stagnant
and algae-filled due to the lack of rainfall and circulation. The Oak Point
Homeowner’s Association proposes the installation of a pond aeration
fountain to improve the appearance and health of the pond while also
reducing the occurrence of mosquitoes. The project would include the
installation of electric service and a one (1) hp fountain with three (3) lights.
Financial
Considerations:
Fiscal Year 2007-08 SPDC Matching Funds in the amount of $200,000 are
budgeted with no allocations to date. Approval of this project in the amount
of $7,338 ($3,669 match) would leave an unencumbered fund balance of
$192,662.
Financial Impact:
Minor impact for electrical and fountain maintenance estimated at $500 or
less annually.
Citizen Input/
Board Review:
Parks Board recommended approval (7-0) at their October 8, 2007 meeting.
SPDC will consider this item immediately prior to City Council at their
November 6, 2007 meeting.
Legal Review:
Not applicable
Alternatives:
Council consideration of matching funds request.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Addition of fountain/aerator in neighborhood park pond
The pond in the public Oak Pointe Park is maintained by the Oak Pointe Homeowner’s Association.
During the summer months, the pond becomes stagnant and algae-filled due to lack of rainfall and
water movement, and has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The Association researched the
situation, and obtained competitive bids for the installation of a fountain to aerate the pond as well as to
make the pond more aesthetically pleasing. The low bid received for the installation of the fountain was
from Lonestar Fountains, Inc. in the amount of $4,208.76. The fountain will require that electrical
service be brought to the site by Tri-County Electric and from the meter to the site by Finish Line
Electric. The total cost for the electric service is $3,128.65. This comes to a total of $7,337.41
The Oak Pointe Homeowner’s Association is requesting SPDC Matching funds in the amount of $3,669
for the installation of the electric service and the fountain.
Proposed Start Date: December 1, 2007 Projected Completion Date: January 30, 2008
Projected Cost: $7,338 Amount of Funds Requested: $3,669
