Summary
The Carrollton City Council approved consent agenda items 7–9 and 11–16 unanimously, including $243,435.50 for pickleball court repairs, an $18,000 sidewalk change order, a downtown billboard rental, $1.82 million in trail design work and a $540,645 contract for animal services design work.
The Carrollton City Council voted unanimously to approve a multi-item consent agenda covering parks repairs, sidewalk construction, marketing and design contracts. Council member (speaker 3) moved to approve items 7–9 and 11–16; Mayor Pro Tem (speaker 11) seconded and the motion passed without objection.
The agenda included authorization to repair and resurface several pickleball courts through the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) in an amount not to exceed $243,435.50. "So 6 sets of sleeve mounted pickleball posts will be posted at the Thomas Park Courts," said Jonathan Shue, Parks and Recreation Director. Shue said major resurfacing will occur at Roden Park where the pad has shifted, causing water pooling and cracks and that the vendor will assess whether mud jacking or foundational work is needed.
Other consent items approved included change order number 7 with Apple Pavement Services for Phase 4 of the citywide sidewalk improvement program, increasing the contract by $18,000 to a total not to exceed $1,730,185.10; and an agreement with OutFront Media for downtown billboard rental not to exceed $199,940 for an approximately three-year term funded through marketing.
The council also authorized staff to pursue professional services contracts: up to $1,819,200 with TAP Associates for engineering and design related to the T.C. Rice Regional Trail (design work funded by grant) and up to $540,645 with Quorum Architects for architectural and engineering services for the Carrollton Animal Services building renovation and expansion. Jonathan Wheat, Director of Engineering, said the trail contract includes 100% design on city-owned property south of the Trinity and a 30% schematic to guide potential future connections to properties the city does not yet own.
No items were removed from the vote aside from item 10, which staff pulled because it listed the wrong cooperative purchasing vehicle and will return for consideration at a later meeting. The council moved promptly to the public forum following the consent vote.
The council recorded the vote as unanimous on the motion to approve the listed consent items.
