Major items approved during the Dec. 6 and 12 City Council Meetings were:
Screening Wall Replacement
This $2.2 million project includes the replacement of 2,706 linear feet of existing screening walls, sidewalks and alley pavement at the following locations:
- Amelia Court and West Park Boulevard (between Amelia Court and Woodburn Corners)
- Custer Road (south of Rustic Drive)
- Woodburn Corners (just south of W. Park Boulevard)
- Parker Road (between Tree House Lane and Canyon Valley Trail)
Pecan Hollow Golf Course Erosion Control
The Plano Parks & Recreation department is addressing erosion along Rowlett Creek near holes 6 and 7. The engineering design portion of the project is $330,000 and is expected to be completed in summer 2023.
This project includes the design of a full height concrete block retaining wall system to address existing streambank erosion and sloughing that threatens golf course amenities, specifically the cart path associated with hole 6 and the greens associated with hole 7. The project also investigates the appropriate remedy for erosion affecting two pedestrian bridges where significant erosion is migrating toward bridge abutments. If left unchecked, the streambank erosion could lead to the loss of the amenities noted and be a risk to the safety of golf course patrons.
Once the design project is complete, a bid for the construction could be acted upon by City Council as early as fall 2023.
$2 million Rainy Day Fund Transfer
Reserves in the Rainy Day Fund were increased by $2 million after unappropriated funds from fiscal year 2022-23 General Fund were transferred to the Rainy Day Fund. These funds came from higher than anticipated sales tax revenues received in the General Fund from the previous fiscal year, FY 2021-22. This agenda item supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Excellent, Innovative and Accountable City Government.
The next regular City Council meeting is Monday, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. The agenda becomes available after 5 p.m. on the Wednesday leading up to the meeting. Watch the meeting live on Facebook, YouTube or planotv.org.
