C. RESOLUTION ADOPnNC THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMPREHENSIW, PARKS MASTER PLAN - DISCUSSED.

Gary Moore, Director of Parks and Recreation/Building Services, explained that staff has been working toward completion of a grant application in the amount of $500,000.00 for construction of a Girls Softball Complex on the 385 acre project at Faithon P. Lucas, Sr., Boulevard and McKenrie Drive. The City and Mesquite Independent School District will match funds in the amount of $250,000.00 each. Mr. Moore further explained that in order to be successful, the staff must demonstrate to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Grants section that the project is a need in the community. He stated that the grant application process is in competition with other cities to earn points on the basis of completion of several steps including a Master Plan, Capital Improvements Plan, community input, formal Council approval and a resolution supportive of the application.

Mr. Moore further stated that the proposed Master Plan complies with the Texas Parks and Wildlife requirements. He noted that the Plan may be changed from year to year based on community input and needs. The Plan points out community inpct, the Capital I~nprovements Plan, Park and Recreation Advisory Board input, Athletic Committee input, Mayor's Night-In, Town Hall meetings and informal input which is helpful for the grant approval. The Plan compares the City's efforts to those of siu other cities as well as the National Parks and Recreatioil Association. From the input and the comparative analysis, it was determined that the City meets many of the standards that are normally found in a city of like size and that the City is short of softball fields.

Mr. Moore stated that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has reviewed and approved the Master Plan and staff recommends approval.

A resolution approving the Master Plan is Item No. 9 on the Consent Agenda.
