Fulshear weighs lower-cost lights from HTX for Eagle Landing Park, asks staff to return with costs and term amendment
Summary
Council discussed HTX's offer to install four 25–30-foot LED poles on Field B at Eagle Landing, with HTX proposing to front installation costs in exchange for credits or an RSA extension; council asked for cost breakdowns and requested staff return with an amendment for March consideration.
HTX representatives asked council for guidance on installing additional lighting at Eagle Landing Park’s Field B. HTX proposed four 25–30-foot LED poles, offering to install concrete and front initial costs; in return they requested compensation options such as credits tied to their partnership or an extension of their Recognized Sports Association (RSA) term.
Council members expressed a preference for consistency across fields and asked staff for comparative cost data. Some members favored waiting to install 60-foot permanent poles like Field A; others said HTX’s lower-cost poles (staff cited an example cost difference of roughly $160,000 for a larger installation versus about $28,000 for the HTX option) could meet demand and be base-built to permit future upgrades. HTX said the proposed poles would be semi-permanent, removable and use LED heads with adjustable fixtures to reduce off-site glare.
Council generally supported pursuing a path that would allow HTX’s initial investment while ensuring bases/concrete footings could accept taller poles later; staff said they would return at the March meeting with firmer pricing and a draft amendment to extend HTX’s RSA if the council is inclined to offer longer-term partnership terms.
What’s next: staff will return with cost estimates and a proposed RSA-term amendment for council consideration in March.
