Minutes City Council February 13, 2017

City of El Campo, TX Page 2 Updated 2/17/2017 2:22 PM

1. Skate Park Presentation

City Manager Snyder noted that Corine Jolivette had contacted Councilman Ward on behalf of her son,

Charmance, concerning the possibility of the City building a Skate Park in late November. Community

Services Chris Barbee got involved as well. Snyder stated that Charmance and his family were present to

address Council.

Community Services Director Barbee noted that a skate park was brought before Council approximately 6 years

ago. The subject has been discussed several times. He added that he has been communicating with American

Ramp Company. If a slab is present, the company can sell skate park features that can be bolted down. They

are heavy duty. Palacios, Victoria, Brownwood and Bay City all have a skate park. Barbee added that they are

fairly economical. He continued to say that it took a great deal of courage for a young man like Charmance, to

contact Council regarding a skate park.

Charmance addressed Council by stating that he was 12 years old and in the 7th grade. He added that the City

of El Campo needed a skate park and that it had 2 benefits: 1) it has significant mental health benefits adding

that the complexity of performing tricks on a skateboard improves brain function at a fundamental level and

stimulates new cell growth in the brain. He added that kids could do it on their own time and it doesn't require a

coach. Secondly, 2) a skate park would reduce damage to private property. It would be a win win situation

because skateboarders would have a safe place to pursue their passion. Also, law enforcement and community

members would not have to keep running kids off of private property.

Council and the audience applauded Charmance for his presentation.

Councilman Ward stated that Barbee said there is a piece of property off of Monseratte St that could possibly be

used for a skate park. He added that Councilwoman Harris suggested using the slab on 2nd St (West Second St.

Park). Ward continued to ask if the City would get behind the project. He added that Corine Jolivette had

agreed to fundraise and Ward said an LCRA Grant may be a possibility as well. The City can start as little or as

big as it wants and it is a very inexpensive project in comparison to some that have been done. Ward added that

the City could budget some of the funds too. This could provide the least burden on the City and provide a

benefit back.

Councilwoman Harris said that a skate park has come before Council in the past. A petition was presented and

the group was led by a woman (couldn't remember her name).

Finance Director Sladek stated that her name was Terri Jones.

Harris said that Attorney Collins was going to look into whether the City could use the West 2nd Street Park

since it was funded with a Community Development Block Grant.

Barbee stated it was a Parks & Wildlife Grant.

Harris stated that a liability issue was also mentioned at that time and then the subject was more or less dropped.

Harris added that she believed that Bobby Perez was on Council at that time.

Mayor Collins stated that Paul Soechting would have been the Mayor at that time.

Shannon Crabtree with the Leader-News stated that she believed the Mayor was Kenny Martin when the skate

park was brought up.

Harris added that the group wanted the skate park closer to Middle School or the High School at that time.

Councilwoman Vasquez asked if the skate park could be put back on the agenda so that the questions brought

up could be answered.

Harris suggested searching the minutes.

City of El Campo, TX Page 3 Updated 2/17/2017 2:22 PM

Councilman Erwin suggested getting a map of all the property owned by the City to determine a location.

Snyder replied that was possible.

Mayor Pro Tem Young noted that a project like this would take a large number of people to back it and not just

expecting the City to take care of it.

Mayor Collins agreed with Harris and Young on their ideas. He recommended contacting Civic Organizations

to help with the funding.

Collins noted that it took a lot of guts for a 7th grader to come before Council. He also said the City does not

have a whole lot of money to spend at this time. He thanked Charmance & his family for coming.

RESULT: NO ACTION REQUIRED

2. Update on the Rail Spur

City Manager Snyder noted that there was currently no new updates on the Rail Spur. She added that they are

still working on Phase 2 of the environmental.

RESULT: NO ACTION REQUIRED

3. Update on Downtown Dinner

Finance Director Sladek noted that 7 food trucks are coming to the Downtown Dinner on March 28, 2017.

Chris Barbee has sold 66 tickets so far and the City Intern will be working on sales as well. Some bands have

been booked for the occasion. Sladek added that the Civic Center has been booked for backup in case of

unfavorable weather conditions. The tickets are $5/seat and money will be used to fund advertising for the

event. There seems to be a great deal of excitement over the dinner.

Councilwoman Vasquez asked if the Chamber has offered to take part in the event.

Sladek replied that she had not approached them.

She noted that tickets are available at City Hall.

Mayor Collins and Councilwoman Vasquez stated that they hoped the Chamber would help out with this event

if there is another in the future.

Sladek thanked Buiding Official Liz Staff and Police Chief Terry Stanphill for their efforts in getting this event

scheduled. She added that the idea was taken from the City of Lufkin. City Manager Snyder learned of

Lufkin's event at a City Manager's Study Group.

agenda packet at the last meeting so it is being presented again for your consideration. The only change

involved the description of where the project limits were and the new map is included as well. Staff does

recommend approval.

Snyder added that the County approved the Interlocal this morning with no changes.

wanted to make sure that all are aware of employees' efforts and are making plans to attend. Of course, if you

can't make it for the entire day, please do try to be there for the City Council Panel which Joe Gonzalez will

facilitate for us. We really want this to be a great experience for our team members that do not get to travel to

training as well as a showcase of what they all do. This is intended to carry on the leadership training that we

have been working on over the past few years based on John C. Maxwell's "The 5 Levels of Leadership." The

better we function as a team, the better able we are to carry out our mission which is “The City of El Campo will support the quality of life, community character, and economic opportunity for all residents

RESOLUTION NO. R2017-06 - Supporting the tax cap increase for ESD#1

The ECVFD has asked for the support of the City Council in the quest to increase the current tax cap of $.03/$100 of

taxable valuation to $.06/$100. The legal maximum cap is $.10/$100 but at this point they do not need to go above

$.06. Staff prepared the attached Resolution and supports the approval as presented as it a more equitable

distribution of the tax to collect from the entire tax base of ESD#1.

Snyder, Mindi

From: Garcia, Rene

Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2017 11:13 AM

To: Snyder, Mindi

Subject: RE: Liability Insurance

Hello Mindi. The following is TML’s response to my inquiry about skate park liability for the City:

Hi Rene. Senate Bill 1224 and House Bill 616, enacted as of September 1, 2005, redefined "recreation" and expanded the application of limited liability for outdoor recreational activities to include all governmental units.

The bills cite when a person enters premises owned, operated, or maintained by a governmental unit and engages in recreation on those premises, the governmental unit does not owe the person a greater degree of care than is owed to a trespasser on the premises.

The legislation effectively shields governmental units from liability arising out of activities included in the definition of "recreation". The limitation of does not reduce the inherent bodily injury hazards of these recreational activities and a loss control plan and risk survey of premises prior to use is recommended.

"Recreation" includes activities (only if activities take place on premises owned, operated or maintained by a governmental unit) such as hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, picnicking, hiking, pleasure driving, including off-road motorcycling and off-road automobile driving and use of all-terrain vehicles, nature study including bird-watching, cave exploration, water-skiing and other water sports, and any other activity associated with nature or the outdoors, bicycling and mountain biking, disc golf, on-leash and off-leash walking of dogs, or soap box derbies, hockey, in-line hockey, skating, in-line skating, roller-skating, skateboarding, and roller-blading." The legislation also requires governmental units to post a sign at facilities used for hockey, in-line hockey, skating, in-line skating, roller-skating, skateboarding, and roller-blading with the following specific language: Warning Texas Law (Chapter 75, Civil Practices and Remedies Code) limits the liability of a governmental unit for damages arising directly from hockey, in-line hockey,skating, in-line skating, roller-skating, skateboarding or roller-blading on premises that the governmental unit owns, operates, or maintains for that purpose.

The General Liability and Errors & Omissions Liability coverage contribution to the Pool will increase when we add the skate park to the liability schedule of the city. Real & Personal Property contribution will also increase with the additional of the structure to the schedule of covered property. The amount of the increase will depend upon the scope of the park you plan to construct and the projected annual number of skaters you expect.

I have copied your Loss Prevention Representative Jimmy Hoskins on my reply to you. Jimmy Hoskins should be notified about skate park construction so he can survey the park upon completion and make recommendations to help prevent accidents and injuries. Thank you for alerting me of the city plan to construct a skate park. Please let us know if you have questions or need additional information.

From: Snyder, Mindi Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2017 2:38 PMTo: Garcia, ReneSubject: Liability Insurance

Could you please inquire with TML about the liability insurance for a skate park so that we can prepare some information to report back to the City Council?

Thanks!
