Board hears updates on Cotton Bowl Park sale interest, grinder options, splash pad and budget work
Summary
Board members had no objections to presenting a potential Cotton Bowl Park sale to City Council; staff reviewed grinder/Rotamat options for sewer wipes, gave a splash-pad construction update and said the 2026–27 budget work is in progress.
During other business the Board discussed a variety of nonbinding items. Utility Director Jeff Mitchell said someone is interested in purchasing Cotton Bowl Park; the Board had no objection and directed Mitchell to present the potential sale to the City Council. Mitchell also presented two options (grinder and Rotamat) to address baby-wipe blockages in the sewer system and asked the Board to review the information.
Mitchell updated the Board that concrete work for the new splash pad was scheduled the next day and that fencing and bathrooms will follow. He also said he is working on the 2026–2027 budget but is experiencing problems with the financials; no figures or timelines were provided in the transcript. Board President Clark Duckett requested a BHMG engineer attend the next meeting to review the electric-substation plan.
