Staff clarified which options are included in the quoted base price and which are optional add-ons.

The vote was recorded as a recommendation to city council; the board emphasized the foot-wash and sand-strainer options because of the adjacent sand volleyball court and asked staff to take final vendor specs and the recommended purchase forward for council approval.

Chuck Figler and other board members said they had re-examined the construction bid and worried the project as written might not match the memorial’s long-term appearance and maintenance needs. James Shepherd, parks maintenance staff, flagged concerns about materials being placed under memorial features and recommended professional landscape-architect input.

Board members noted budget availability and city staff said a $50,000 line item exists for the memorial project. The board nevertheless requested a revised design review so members can be confident the finished garden will be durable and require manageable maintenance. The board chair said the city council previously approved funding and that final council approval will still be required for the completed design and costs beyond the approved amount.

Board members emphasized the memorial’s symbolic importance and asked that final plans include durable materials and a maintenance plan so the site is presentable for Memorial Day ceremonies. The board agreed to coordinate with public-works staff and to present recommended changes and any architect input to city council as needed.","Board members raised concerns about materials, maintenance and design for the Veterans Memorial Garden and asked staff to arrange a landscape-architect review before final construction proceeds.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6279629,"Haslet parks board finalizes April egg hunt: format, vendors and prizes",520,210000,730000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2621799-e4991b191b49d5805bc25c64decdbf7d&start=210&end=730","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2621799-e4991b191b49d5805bc25c64decdbf7d/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6279629/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Haslet-parks-board-finalizes-April-egg-hunt-format-vendors-and-prizes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6279629-cd136deb3bef60a2ece2de0717f6d450/orig.mp4?Expires=1774961880&Signature=EB-ow8NHy6hEW1z1J9xntUUyidEVq2WLeuhFaEx9xidM2HaG3NqC0RQVIN0zhDwUuoCmtsOV-AegFhKRR8p1vPQ4sHd~EOGslKiw2hVzDUw4WbXCXUG-WVY7XKLv76epNMSOuFy6CI0nQfcaaGInn8QHK~h9nlbLlnImoFVlvuWSZdZjaGmepuRjdsTw0uARdcTobMdTUt4vynWkZ6o1Nxbw3ZE~FvY3ezfhwBcZ3YELYua9viwPaIYc~Veu4WYLK68L6DRcsBstwBgQl1vGSBWFpvtqvMAhKW60gEbkvqLvy~JLeerRV6YFKXTtc1cpKT4~q5KojRhUWcjKQy9a8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Haslet Parks and Recreation Board on March 12 confirmed plans for its annual Easter egg hunt, scheduling the event for April 12 at 4 p.m. and approving operational details including vendor participation, prize purchases and event staffing.

Board members said the egg hunt will follow the format used last year, with children released by age group to reduce crowding and make the event run faster. Staff described the event as roughly an hour-long activity with pre- and post-event activity pushing the total onsite time to several hours.

The board voted to allow limited vendors at the event and set fees at $25 for a table and $50 for a food truck. Members discussed whether to waive fees for sponsors and settled on the nominal fee structure while noting sponsors still receive priority placement. Staff will publish a vendor form with fee guidance.

For prizes, the board approved purchasing eight $10 Sonic gift cards to be hidden as “golden tickets” in eggs and claimed at the DJ station; members said the gesture encourages families to linger briefly after the hunt. Volunteers from local churches and 4-H were noted as expected helpers for setup and crowd management.

Board members also discussed logistics such as parking limitations, volunteer staffing, and whether certain vendors (snow-cone trucks, food trucks) should be allowed given the short duration of the egg hunt. Staff said Kona Ice already holds a city vendor permit and could attend without extra permitting; other vendors will be asked to indicate interest, and staff will finalize the fee and permitting process.","The Haslet Parks and Recreation Board confirmed the April 12 Easter egg hunt will begin at 4 p.m., run by age group, allow a small number of vendors, and include eight $10 gift-card 'golden-ticket' prizes.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6279634,"Haslet parks board approves event vendors, equipment rentals and facility purchases",1500,0,1500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2621799-e4991b191b49d5805bc25c64decdbf7d&start=0&end=1500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2621799-e4991b191b49d5805bc25c64decdbf7d/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6279634/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Haslet-parks-board-approves-event-vendors-equipment-rentals-and-facility-purchases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6279634-7d06ae7dc77d9f0894972152383b2388/orig.mp4?Expires=1774961880&Signature=G9SLeDB5koRCNQqQlc2Sldig0MRR~RELF~TqqlN0HkkXLXqdZnEPXDR5Im7y-aom~vKe6~hjPutxlGfQDBIM0cU5ezZZrj3M6nOjvt7U4Du6c0uv1TzaFvWK0BVWburFEiDGOvPdrFPkYDOGXeU16sKymMahfF-ttImdOAY73V2zBpt0-8ZsC~dTMo14Gs~GL~86DIdVrglUT8VhxgfEiH1terVk2ZsLpa3WA-8hohv9CKviIwCa2yzzPyPgxHHQYyc0TS2rYcudCtjik8GohRW2iLlYpIhtu09TK9KgQd25Wnllh-V8yQVTgcoQzckMQQxNlZK~kVVCm4ERknwlBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Haslet Parks and Recreation Board voted Wednesday to permit vendors at the April 12 Easter egg hunt, approve event rentals for July and December celebrations, authorize $80 in prize gift cards for the egg hunt, and recommend purchase of a new community drinking-fountain station for City Council approval.

Board members approved allowing vendors at the April 12 Easter egg hunt at a fee of $25 for a table and $50 for a food-truck space. The board also approved purchasing eight $10 gift cards (total $80) to distribute as prize “golden-ticket” awards during the egg hunt. The board approved several event vendor and rental items for the July 4 and Christmas events, including security, inflatable attractions, a Euro-bungee rental and a second Sky Pirates train credit. The board moved a recommendation to the city council to purchase a water-bottle filling and foot-wash station with sand strainer for the Community Park, with a purchase price capped at $7,700.

Most motions passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies given in the transcript. Where motions included dollar amounts, board members discussed pricing and staffing estimates before voting. For example, security for the July 4 event was discussed with an estimated cost of about $1,300 for four off-duty officers (calculation in meeting: $65/hour × 4 officers × about five hours). A later motion in the meeting record used a different numeric value; the board approved the security expenditure as presented in the motion on the record.

Other approved items included: a $3,488 package from an inflatable vendor for Christmas (train, slide, tents, chairs and lights); a $700 payment for stilt performers at the December event; $800 for Real Axe (axe-throwing vendor) for Christmas; DJ Alex for $500 for the Christmas event; and a Euro-bungee rental quoted at about $1,350 for the July event. The board also approved renting a 26-foot movie screen for Movie in the Park at roughly $1,192, and selected the family film The Wild Robot.

The board recorded motions to approve minutes from earlier meetings (February 12 and February 18). All those motions were approved by a voice vote recorded in the meeting transcript as “all in favor; none opposed.”

The board chair and staff said staff will carry forward items that require formal city-council action or additional budgeting. Several board members asked staff to verify final invoices and credits (for example, credits from Sky Pirates for earlier events) before payments are finalized.","At its March 12 meeting the Haslet Parks and Recreation Board approved a series of motions covering event vendor fees, equipment rentals for summer and holiday events, gift-card prizes for the April Easter egg hunt, and a drinking-fountain purchase recommendation to City Council.","actionData","errors"]
