Summary

The Mansfield Parks Facilities Development Corporation elected officers for FY 2526 and approved three resolutions — including a change order with AUI Partners LLC not to exceed $873,055 for Julian Field Park phase 2 — all by unanimous 7–0 votes.

Lindsay was elected president and Raul was elected vice president of the Mansfield Parks Facilities Development Corporation at its Jan. 8 meeting; Sarah Spear was named secretary and Troy Lesina treasurer, the board announced after a 7–0 vote to approve the slate.

The board then approved three resolutions by unanimous votes. The largest formal action was a change order to the construction contract with AUI Partners LLC for Julian Field Park phase 2, not to exceed $873,055, which staff described as including a $75,000 owner contingency and saving time and mobilization costs by using the contractor already on site. Director (staff) told the board the contractor’s quote was $798,055 and the contingency brings the maximum to $873,055. The board voted to approve the change order 7–0.

The board also approved a resolution recommending the city designate the new pond at Julian Field Park as a no-fishing zone, citing the site’s intended use as a reflecting/event pond and staff pond-management advice that fishing would not suit the amenity. The board voted 7–0 to send that recommendation to city council with a note that signs and park rules would be posted to clarify restrictions and enforcement under the city code.

Finally, the board approved a third amendment to a master development agreement tied to a hotel and convention center project near Mansfield Stadium. Staff said the amendment carries no direct financial liability for the corporation but is required because the corporation is a party to the master development agreement; the board passed the resolution 7–0.

The chair opened each motion for a vote and the meeting minutes record unanimous approval on the officer slate and each resolution. The board took no additional formal action out of the executive session it held earlier in the meeting.

The board is scheduled to discuss related items at a Feb. 5 joint meeting and staff said any administrative follow-ups will be routed to city council as required.
