j. Consider a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement with the City of
Baytown for the Duke Hill Park Soccer Pitch Paint and Disc Golf Course.
Vice President Chris Presley proceeded to discuss Consent Agenda Item 2.j., in conjunction with
Item 21.
Vice President Presley noted that he was somewhat familiar with the park and asked if the Soccer
Pitch Paint and Disc Gold Course would be located immediately to the north of where the
repurposed tennis courts are and Parks Planner Cornell Gordon indicated that the short nine -hole
course would be mostly on the frontage of Parker Street and meander all the way behind it, which
will be just east of the tennis courts, close to the baseball field. Mr. Gordon indicated that they
wanted to make it challenging and planted trees on the course so they will be meandering through
the trees to get to a smaller course, which would be a downgrade to the challenging course that
they currently have at Evergreen Clubhouse and at Jenkins Park; therefore, it would be like a
beginner course.
k. Consider a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement with the City of
Baytown for Town Square Green Space Improvements.
Vice President Presley commented that he supported the idea of installing the artificial turf at
Town Square; however, there are different grades and styles of artificial turf. He has walked on
some of it and it is like walking on wire brush, so he wanted staff to be cognizant on what grade
they select and would like for them to select a more natural and higher quality artificial turf.
Secondly, he noted that since this is the first time they have installed artificial turf on such a wide
area; therefore, he wanted staff to proceed with caution and perhaps install the artificial turf on a
smaller section first, and be certain that they are 1000'0 satisfied with the product before installing
it all. Assistant City Manager Kevin Troller noted that Director Presley's request was reasonable,
and that was something Council took into consideration when discussing the Perfect Trail.
Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation Clifford Hatch noted that this would actually be the
first non -athletic turf that would be installed on such a wide area, but they have been talking to

different turf manufacturers and taken into account several concerns and issues, and therefore,
have done their due diligence to make sure the right turf is selected.

approve Consent Agenda Items 2.j. and 21. The vote was as follows:
