a) Bill Little - Collin County Parks and Open Space
i) Applications for grants are accepted 2 x/year - we may be able to apply for a
grant in the 2nd time period this year (August 11* - September 30f); Judy has
the application forms and information; our application passes through the
County Commissioners' Court for approval; the money can be used for the
creation of parks, but not for the maintenance of the parks; think outside of
the box - e.g. motor cross; community golf course; ball fields; soccer fields;
play ground; rifle range; nature / horse / bike trails; etc.
ii) The grants are matching dollar for dollar; the county considers land owned
by the city that are earmarked for parks & open space to be equivalent to
'dollars'.- Thus
b) Master Planner - Joe Pobiner with PGAL
i) Joe left PGAL and went with HKS (a commercial engineering. firm). How
does this affect our plan? When we looked at MESA a bit closer, it became
clear that MESA did most of the work and Joe did the ordinance work. Can
we utilize Hunter & Associates for this? Would he be interested? We'll here
from Travis later,
