PRESENT: Mayor Stephens; Mayor Pro Tem Ayer; Council Members Alexander, Boyd, Gorton, Hopkins and McAdams. ABSENT: None 1. The Council convened into Executive Session to discuss legal matters (considered action in Denton County vs. City and In Re: Flow), real estates, and personnel/board appointments (considered appointments to the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee and Building Code Board). 5:45 p.m. 1. The Council held a discussion with the Parks and Recreation Board regarding Cit~ priorities in the operation of City parks and recreation facilities. Carl Anderson, Chair-Parks and Recreation Board, stated that the Board had started meeting more often and was meetin~ with the advisory boards of the recreation centers. He felt there might have been a misunderstanding regarding the Board's involvement in the Parks budget process. The Board was very active and was involved in the ranking of items. They regularly received feedback from Steve Brinkman on park issues. The Board was moving its meetings to different recreation centers each meeting and was receiving input from each advisory board. Several of the centers had key issues it wished to present to Council. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center felt that another employee at the Center at night might help with a safety problem. There were few people working with many users. The Center would also like expanded hours on Saturday and hours available on Sunday. The Senior Center would like Saturday hours and an additional worker to help with the new facility. North Lakes would like to expand its hours to earlier in the morning and more hours on Saturday.' Anderson listed goals that the Board wanted to accomplish some of which included becoming more involved in the budget process, having more contact with the advisory boards, expansion of hours at the Centers, combining the baseball leagues, and completion of the Senior Center expansion. Council Member Gorton asked if the Board concerns/interests were conveyed through the ranks. felt its City of Denton City Council Minutes December 5, 1989 Page 2 Anderson replied that the Board's recommendation was ~ot always followed as it progressed through the ranks. Council Member McAdams questioned Anderson's regarding a public hearing on North Lakes. statement Anderson stated that it would be an information session with the neighbors dealing with expansion of the ball fields and returning North Lakes to a neighborhood center as opposed to a fitness center. Council Member Alexander stated that perhaps the direction to follow was to keep the current centers open longer before thinking about opening new centers. Dalton Gregory, Parks and Recreation Board, stated that if the budget couldn't support the costs of the centers such as maintenance and staff, recreation centers shouldn't be put in bond elections. If the centers were built, then the City should be willing to support them. Mayor Stephens asked Anderson if the Board had looked at the total park/recreation budget for possible adjustments in .order to find the money for the additional personnel the centers were suggesting. Anderson replied that they had not had time to do an in-depth study. A preliminary look indicated that there were no areas in the park/recreation budget for those personnel. Mayor Stephens thanked the representatives from the Board for joining them. 2. The Council held a discussion regarding the Freeport Amendment. Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, presented an update on recent meetings with the community regarding the Freeport Amendment. He stated that on November 29 a meeting was held with representatives from the DISD, Chamber, area businesses and the City. The general feeling was that the Amendment would probably be put into effect over a time period as opposed to immediately going into effect. The City would probably take action to continue the tax and to leave open dialog with the businesses to develop plans for a gradual implementation. The Chamber of Commerce would form a joint study committee made up of members from the DISD, City, industry, the Chamber and a citizen-at-large. This study committee would look at the issue and make recommendations for alternatives to the group. 297 298 City of Denton City Council Minutes December 5, 1989 Page 3 The Metroplex Mayors ASSociation was recommending that cities take action to extend the tax. They also were recommending a joint funding study to study the cost benefit analysis for the Amendment. Staff was suggesting an ordinance for consideration to extend the tax and a resolution of support for the amendment but allow time to study the issue and the effects of the amendment. Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to prepare an ordinance to not grant the Freeport Amendment for 1990 and subsequent years and to do further research into the effects of the Amendment. The Council then convened into the Regular Session at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. PRESENT: Mayor Stephens; Mayor Pro Tem Ayer; Council Members Alexander, Boyd, Gorton, Hopkins and McAdams.
