The Bicentennial Park Schematic Design Work Group consisting of staff, three Council members, three Parks Board members, representatives from the Southlake Baseball Association and CISD, reviewed this proposal at their October 24, 2006 meeting and supports the City engaging this service as a method of marketing and promoting the final product to the public and potential partners. The Parks Board also reviewed this proposal at their November 13, 2006 meeting and recommended approval (8 -0). The animated version would be available for use on the City's website, cable channel, and could also be provided on CD, making the proposed improvements easily accessible and visually explanatory to all interested parties. Financial Consideration: If recommended, funding of the proposed professional services is available from the Park Dedication Fund which is currently selected as the funding source for the design of the eastern portion of the park. The fund currently has an unencumbered balance of approximately $140,000. If approved, this item would need to be included as part of your mid -year budget adjustment considerations.
