Description

08-11-21 Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee Part 2

A

Open the united middle tennis courts because uh kruger field and united middle haven't been open, yeah yeah, so you know I reached out to the city and said: hey, you know what you could just respond, send them the number to the district and we just have to educate the public. How you know not everything belongs to the city. That's a ui is the own.

B

Facility, so if they decide to only open on sundays, you know that's something, but I think.

A

That we just have to educate.

B

And before before united day, that was the only set of tennis courts that were in the north, there was no other. Besides the country club.

A

B

That and united and and the united middle there's, not many tennis courts.

A

And I know that alexander did the expansion as well, that you know they have that now as well. But um looking into you know, things like that is is also a joke.

C

But that's the rest of the thing is that let's start looking more into more use, it's more cost effective. Then we don't have to build.

B

C

Build and the business is already there and we also have those schools. Actually, we hope someone's teamwork is just a slaughter that works well.

A

C

Know they work, we work with them to use slaughter for our first. You know baseball.

A

And soccer come.

C

Over to slaughter right now the vote from them, you know so so.

C

You know we're just trying to promote each other out. That's you know, that's the main thing, and hopefully, with this lgc, this is going to be big, yeah. Okay, we can pull that we can pull the trigger on this one. It's going to be big, you know, is.

B

Going to have football again.

C

Yes and we're actually in negotiations right now with lisd to be able to use le mans middle school. Okay, that's our football field,.

C

C

Budget last week, but we had to push it back a week.

D

A

Second year, yeah every second wednesday perfect at 5.

C

D

And one thing I like to add: I don't want to put it on an agenda or anything, but I don't know if staff consent, especially we have new members, I'm still fairly new.

D

Maybe some frequently asked questions so that way. People approach us that we can.

B

C

Answer that like uh because one thing one thing it's like hold on, let.

D

Me look it's like well, I could.

B

Just go to the website and.

D

Looked it up, but did.

A

Something so that way we're a little more educational. I always always bother staff with questions uh someone even uh I had a court hearing the other day and they said sir.

A

Like what are you talking about to look it up and.

B

C

There's something for us as people who are in the community.

D

C

The website will be helpful to us as well.

A

D

Where I live, my lot is big: we're promoting bikes and we're promoting something I don't mind putting on things like city and laredo movie night at uh you know north central park, or just so we can advertise. Like my whole thing is I mean we put politicians on.

B

C

Not why not support parks and.

D

That way, you can put those on the lawn and I mean no one's gonna. I hope.

B

Nobody steals a lot like you know,.

A

Political science, but but at least we're promoting the part.

D

Where promoting the parks what's going on with the city and.

B

D

And I know that uh I had reached out to the school districts because I know they're pushing the the tickets to buy the the passes. So I was like hey put some of those signs on my art, like I don't mind it because it's promoting the community and what's happening in the community right and I think that's what it's all about is yeah whatever we can help you all and and.
