Auditors also noted that a judge’s signature stamp had been accessible to court staff.

City Secretary Jeanette Huggins told council the condition has been addressed: missing PDF documents that had been stored locally on the clerk’s computer were uploaded into the case-management system while auditors were on site, and staff members are assisting with backlog upload. Huggins said she instructed court staff to use a dedicated time slot to upload documents — for example, Friday afternoons — so that all documents are attached directly to their court cases and do not remain archived only on a local drive.

On the judge’s signature stamp, Huggins told council the stamp had been taken into secure custody at the direction of the mayor and is no longer in routine possession of the court clerk.

Several council members asked that staff return to a future meeting to confirm that the backlog is cleared and that auditors’ repeat comments do not reappear in next year’s report.

Fire Chief Eric Burnside said the department responded to 48 calls in March (16 EMS calls, one motor-vehicle crash and 21 mutual-aid responses). Burnside described annual hose and appliance testing, hydrant tests to be reported to the water purveyor, an inventory-management system rollout, and training milestones: two fire engineers completed driver-operator aerial certification and officers are attending NIMS/ICS classes. Burnside also described ongoing weekly wellness checks for residents and the department’s \"files of life\" program (a pre-completed form for emergency responders that lists medical preferences and contacts).

\"For our, fire calls for March, we ended up doing a full of 48 calls,\" Burnside reported. He also said the fire department has accepted responsibility for a large diesel-fired generator outside town hall and is working to resolve a needed inverter replacement and maintenance contract.

Police Chief Richard (last name given in the packet as Pritchard in departmental materials) presented the department’s March statistics: 318 calls for service, 11 offenses, one arrest and 506 citations (184 warnings among those). He described a vehicle recovery, and he promoted an April 26 prescription drug take-back event at town hall to keep unused medications out of homes and schools.

The chief addressed council questions about social-media concerns regarding officers following school buses. He said officers were conducting visible patrols around bus routes after a parent reported a suspicious encounter: the department tracked and located a man who reportedly asked a student to get in a vehicle after the child stepped off a bus. Chief Richard said the encounter ‘‘lasted about 10 seconds’’ and that the department could not prove criminal conduct in court; the subject lives outside the town and was not charged, but the department contacted him and warned him to avoid working in the town.

\"It was a very much a he said, she said kinda incident,\" Chief Richard said. \"I couldn't prove it in a court of law. So that's where we're at.\" He said the department informed the parent and increased bus-area patrols while investigating. Mayor Drash and council urged residents to be vigilant and to use groups or reflective clothing for children walking in low-light conditions.

Chief Richard also reminded residents about a twice-yearly drug take-back event and said the department collected many pounds of medication at past events.

No formal council action was required for these reports; chiefs answered questions from council and residents and said they would provide follow-up information if requested.","Fire and police department chiefs reviewed March activity, training and community programs.

Coach Kevin Galivan, who operates the town’s year-round swim program and said roughly 60 percent of his swimmers live in Hollywood Park, told council he supports a two-year arrangement for stability and that he needs confirmation soon to complete the team’s USA Swimming paperwork for the coming season. Galivan asked the town for a multi-year contract and flexibility to coordinate with other users.

Mayor Drash and Council discussed operating costs, including gas for pool heating, electricity, water and chemical expenses. Council members asked staff to gather historical bills and to prorate shared costs among users (for example Great Hearts and other contracted groups) so any charge passed to a single vendor reflects actual usage. City staff produced a spreadsheet showing recent utility costs and advised that the Voigt Center expenses had not previously been consolidated with the general fund; auditors recommended combining revenue and expenses in the same fund for clarity. Staff said they will pull prior-year utility bills, allocate meter- and usage-based costs by user, and return with a proposed fee structure.

Galivan requested the council authorize negotiations quickly because his current contract with Texas Gold expires April 30. The council approved a motion authorizing the mayor (with assistance from council member Todd Kuntz) to negotiate and execute a new swim-program contract; the motion instructed staff to aim for terms at least equal to last year’s fee (not less than $14,000) while allowing adjustments once staff confirms prorated operating costs. The motion passed by voice vote with all council members present voting in favor.

The authorization gives the mayor the ability to finalize a short-term renewal so the swim program can register with USA Swimming; staff will return to council with a recommended annual fee and a proposed cost-sharing approach for multi-user months.

Staff also reported other pool-related items during the meeting: the splash pad was reported open following repairs to its control board and reservoir systems; staff will notify residents via the town’s \"Get Connected\" messaging system when the splash pad is available. Council asked staff to provide a full accounting of pool-related costs, including meter-based utilities and allocated public-works labor and maintenance, before finalizing multi-year commitments.","The council authorized Mayor Drash to negotiate and execute a renewal with the town’s swim program operator, giving staff discretion to proceed at or above last year’s fee and directing analysis of Voigt Center operating costs and prorating for other users.",{"_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},6272536,"Council authorizes design work for six culvert and intersection repairs, caps design contract at $75,000",2212,6002000,8214000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3027625-7d6c34b720b9697b886df8cf4c38a35a&start=6002&end=8214","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3027625-7d6c34b720b9697b886df8cf4c38a35a/thumbnail_6002000.jpg","/articles/6272536/Hollywood-Park/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-design-work-for-six-culvert-and-intersection-repairs-caps-design-contract-at-75000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272536-49c65bbc5aeae656f9a004a5ad0b57a5/orig.mp4?Expires=1774217642&Signature=XHD7d6vL5yHOomnrGV33rl-5ef7ZP7Bj1DLwMObfwWdc5SrII-YFjAR5g4qBgE2AdoJGYzXBxrsTMCUZD2ALicFSz77hb64DH~BQX2PQUp06qTCT-eda55zNantmaCJ31vEZBk0tz~SK54KIzg~2nUCEiDTZbSGUdHiw3~DyLcTPf8MHMiFuoRLbior7mQ6uP6RpDcJ0jSqBCJ2HMVKgd6SjIQB6ckOj60NfG9er1zjGIpDx859T6f7M-G4NVrJgGiIYvO0KelwdpDw4II539E~hTf~cPCzS0TYjOoIoAmm5V-ysucyYcDsGZo~z2YCuMI4Zr1f~ccPir14tqdJQQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hollywood Park City Council voted April 15 to authorize design work and bid preparation for six street culvert crossings and a troublesome intersection at William Clausen and Donella, directing the city engineer to proceed with plans and to solicit construction bids once design is complete. Council capped the design authorization at $75,000.

City Engineer Frank Jasper described six problem locations — the Clausen/Donella intersection, culvert crossings on North Oak Drive, Ridge Trail/Trailcrest, and multiple sites on Sagecrest and Sterling Browning — where concrete culvert crossings and ponding areas are accelerating pavement deterioration. Jasper said the Clausen/Donella intersection has shown water intrusion near valve clusters and that the plan may require reinforced concrete surfacing over the intersection and subsurface drainage improvements (a perforated drain or French drain) to daylight water to an established discharge.

\"When we open this thing up, we're probably gonna know,\" Jasper said of the Clausen/Donella site, noting crews found water in the past and that a robust repair likely includes reinforced concrete over a stabilized subbase and a drainage pipe to carry subsurface flow away.

Council discussed whether to bundle the smaller culvert repairs with larger pavement reconstruction projects to gain economies of scale. Staff said the town can use a Bexar County indefinite-quantity contract as a benchmark and to potentially tag onto contractor pricing, but cautioned that the contractor market varies and smaller discrete projects can sometimes attract better competitive pricing if bid as a package. For now, staff recommended proceeding with engineering design to generate accurate construction estimates and enable solicitation of bids.

Council amended the motion establishing a not-to-exceed design authorization of $75,000 and passed the authorization on a voice vote; the minutes record all members present voting in favor.

Next steps: the city engineer will prepare design documents and an engineer’s opinion of probable cost, then return to council with bid-ready plans and recommended procurement method. Staff said they will seek to combine projects where possible to improve contractor interest and pricing.","Council authorized the city engineer to proceed with design and bid preparation for six culvert crossings and a problematic intersection (William Clausen and Donella) and set a $75,000 cap for design work and associated engineering tasks.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272541,"Council authorizes mayor to negotiate new roof contract for town facilities, caps spending at $255,000",1607,4399000,6006000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3027625-7d6c34b720b9697b886df8cf4c38a35a&start=4399&end=6006","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3027625-7d6c34b720b9697b886df8cf4c38a35a/thumbnail_4399000.jpg","/articles/6272541/Hollywood-Park/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-mayor-to-negotiate-new-roof-contract-for-town-facilities-caps-spending-at-255000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272541-19c09b5270f73c0c48180cd3cb8c165e/orig.mp4?Expires=1774217642&Signature=nGG348ZNiuCDqhiXmBdpcbrg-LYuS1kNhFc~C2ruDeVRDlKY~tKUAXqU5AWet-7RlhaA~YMZFAvNcq6DqFHZ-w8fvuLeQXXoTX6S2WNyqF8ueR92CaF-irQSKyVmcgYyTcM3AcxUKfWnCmkr4o3H-BG~XSHfUhJ~V58R5PnTzM89oXt2YS2jvuPJeyBndQSYxBYHwDOuILG3cvEq4XtHJkORWPhzl4qsYJGzW~FTGAS6XGmWvT420i9C7dg9nfKR0OsIN644FTjw4jKj7nCqle9TLf~3OavasEMqikU1CBbXEyLzDOJ1GtPMQfGWA5OqLnps7f-R-KpwQ2GEe8Gtkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hollywood Park City Council on April 15 authorized Mayor Drash to negotiate and execute a contract to replace failing flat roofs at town facilities, directing staff to pursue an agreement with the low bidder and setting a not-to-exceed cap of $255,000.

Council acted after receiving an engineering assessment and two bids for reroofing the town administration, police and fire station areas. The city engineer, Frank Jasper, said the flat roof areas are leaking widely and that tests by Terracon identified ponding and other failures requiring removal of the built-up roof down to the metal deck, installation of insulation, and a membrane roof (TPO) with flashings and repaired slope where needed. Jasper said the flat roof area of interest is roughly 6,800–9,000 square feet depending on how the bid measurements were interpreted.

Council members said the work has been delayed by prior budgeting and by a limited number of bidders responding after three solicitations. The apparent low bidder — identified in the bid packet as Rhino (listed as “Rhino Roofing” in the procurement documents) — offered the lowest price, and the city engineer recommended negotiating a contract with that company. Council discussed contingency planning for potential change orders if rotten decking or other concealed damage is discovered once tear-off begins.

\"When they pull it off, that's where you want to put eyes on it because you want to make sure that the substrate is not the metal deck is not rusted out,\" Jasper said during the meeting.

Council member (mover not specified in the public record) moved to authorize negotiations and execution of a contract with Rhino Roofing for no more than $255,000; another council member seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote; the minutes record an affirmative vote by all members present.

The resolution directs the mayor and city engineer to finalize contract scope and to attempt value engineering where possible before executing the contract. The contract will require tear-off of the built-up roofing, removal of asphalt and gravel finish, repair or replacement of the structural deck where necessary, addition of insulation and new TPO membrane, and testing/inspection during construction. Staff said they will require a manufacturer's warranty (the bid packet references a 20-year manufacturer's warranty and a 15-year contractor warranty) and contractor performance inspection during the build.

Council and staff also discussed funding sources for the work; the council acknowledged the bid exceeds the line-item estimate in the current budget and will be covered by a transfer from reserves and available capital funds. Mayor Drash and the city engineer said they will seek to reduce scope or cost where possible, but emphasized the need to replace the roof comprehensively rather than continuing to patch.

Votes at a glance: The motion to authorize the mayor to negotiate and execute a roofing contract with Rhino Roofing with a not-to-exceed amount of $255,000 passed by voice vote; all six council members present voted in favor.

The town will return to council if large change orders are required or if the negotiated contract materially exceeds the authorized cap.","The Hollywood Park City Council authorized Mayor Drash to negotiate and execute a contract to replace flat roofs on town buildings, directing staff to pursue a roofing contract with the low bidder and setting a not-to-exceed cap of $255,000.","actionData","errors"]
