I attended the PALS Board meeting last night because one of the items on the agenda was discussion of their 5 year CIP (Capital Improvement Plan). The CIP is a plan for how funds will be used on future projects such as parks, streets, utilities, etc.
The PALS Board received a list a future projects that are being planned but they did not discuss how the CIP money would be spent on them. Instead they will review the list and discuss and prioritize funding at the following meeting on May 7th.
Tha Park Master Plan was last approved in 2001. The Park Master Plan must be updated every 7 years or else the town can not receive matching grant money from Texas Parks and Wildlife. I believe I heard last night that this amount could be as much as $500,000. Needless to say, the town will be working up updating and approving the Park Master Plan. I'm interested in keeping up on this progress because some of this money could potentially go towards the developments on the WCR tracts.
I've heard that a lot of the WCR tracts are to be developed with 4B money. I'd like to know more about 4B funds and how they are scheduled to be used.
I learned that the clean up for the WCR tracts will cost about $300,000 which is money coming from the 2007-2008 budget.
The phase 1 of the design for the WCR tracts will likely be performed by Dunaway and Associates and will hopefully begin soon.
