In addition, there is a swimming pool facility, a playground area, a 20 vehicle parking lot, and approximately two acres of open park space. The entire park area, except a small portion located within a Harris County Flood Control District easement, and a Houston Lighting & Power easement, is surrounded by a perimeter fence. Should the proposed Ordinance be approved, the area would be designated as dedicated parkland. Under the proposed Ordinance, the City will assume responsibility for debt in the current amount of Thirteen Thousand Dollars (513,000.00) from a loan taken by the Association to refurbish the swimming pool. The City has agreed to replace the damaged perimeter fencing; to replace a portion of the playground equipment that is in poor condition or does not meet current standards for such equipment; to renovate the pool house facility to meet A.D.A. standards at a later date; and other considerations which are reasonable and proper. The estimated cost of these repairs/improvements is Nineteen Thousand, Two Hundred Dollars (519,200.001, which calculates to a total cost of Thirty Two Thousand, Two Hundred Dollars (532,200.00). Funds were budgeted in the amount of Forty Thousand Dollars (540,000.00) in the FY 95-96 capital budget for a park in the northwest area of the City of La Porte. The Brookglen Community Improvement Association has approved the proposed donation at a special called meeting.
