Hot-water heater, changing tables and storage named as immediate facility priorities for Hutto fields
Summary
Council directed staff to secure a compliant hot-water heater for a concession area, add changing tables to restrooms serving fields, and identify storage for HYBSA equipment as part of the contract amendment.
Several council members flagged immediate facility needs during discussion of the HYBSA contract amendment, focusing on health-code compliance and amenities for families.
A council member said the concession hot-water heater was unreliable and urged staff to coordinate with the health department: "We're gonna get with the health department and get a hot water heater in before they have another game there," the clerk said. Staff described options including under-sink tankless units for handwashing sinks if the concession's main heater is not required for other functions. The transcript includes conflicting references to the unit's age (one speaker said "17 years old" then later "7 years old"); the council directed staff to verify the equipment's condition and proceed with whichever installation is required to meet health-code standards.
Council also directed the amendment to include adding changing tables to restrooms adjacent to fields and to provide HYBSA with access to a storage shed for league supplies. Staff said a former shed from Prince Park had been moved as a pilot and that a more permanent location would be settled after the season.
