Project status and priorities
- \"The first round of concrete was poured Wednesday morning\" for the driveway and other areas, staff said. Irrigation installation is in progress and contractor pricing for optional items such as batting cages is being sought. Staff noted that some change orders over council purchasing thresholds (e.g., projects over $50,000) would require council approval; a vendor quote for multiple shade structures was expected to exceed $100,000 and therefore likely necessitates a council change order.

Funding, donations and sponsorships
- The commission reviewed a monthly financial report that showed an account established for a Primrose Park monetary donation. A staff member said an event in Cross Creek raised $6,123 and those funds were donated for use at Primrose Park. \"There was $6,123 that were raised, and it was donated to the city, for use of Primrose Park,\" staff said.
- Commissioners urged staff to create a sponsorship packet and noted local organizations have already expressed interest. One commissioner said a hospital contact (Memorial Hermann) had reached out regarding sponsorship and asked for the packet when available; staff said the sponsorship packet is still in development and will be distributed to commissioners and prospective sponsors once ready.

Design and appurtenances
- Commissioners revisited choices of standardized park appurtenances (benches, trash cans, sign holders) and noted some custom options previously selected are no longer available. Staff said interior signage and framed information panels are not in the current construction scope but might be considered in phase 3. Commissioners suggested fundraising options such as commemorative pavers, donor bricks or named elements to raise additional funds and engage the community.

Next steps
- Staff will continue to obtain contractor quotes, evaluate whether change orders require council action, finalize the sponsorship packet and return with a closer Primrose budget breakdown on request. Staff also said interns are assisting with sponsorship research and the grant writer is pursuing applicable grants while construction remains eligible.

Why it matters: Primrose is a multi‑phase park project with multiple high‑cost elements (shade structures, bleachers, batting cages) where sponsorships and grants could reduce city expenditures; commissioners and staff are actively pursuing those revenue options.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fulshear - Parks & Recreation Commission - Jul 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff reported that concrete pours and irrigation work are under way for Primrose Park phase 2, and commissioners discussed priorities, sponsorship options and a $6,123 donation earmarked for Primrose.","taxTitle","Fulshear, Fort Bend County, Texas","taxId",69473,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6519123,"Eagle Landing Park: electrical and irrigation work done; AED partnership moving through legal review",356,1410000,1766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae&start=1410&end=1766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae/thumbnail_1410000.jpg","/articles/6519123/Fulshear/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Eagle-Landing-Park-electrical-and-irrigation-work-done-AED-partnership-moving-through-legal-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519123-ecb2b06bed31d88d2761112801cf7b12/orig.mp4?Expires=1770856921&Signature=h5bMme4A2wMUXcu1bjc~W8tj8n8fCCoyLogy5h5YlcqKI1qcoNcWpHUNe9VX0-7kAbuOi9bYnsiHiiJDi7CnX2GcFMKpzZFND~QhR7LrJdF4HUPLfgLF-SsouEzIwe0AvQXLACVY5EH-B0bBSQRR2qVgO4H92A6u-4-DL~rKWJ2rd1fpLiJ1z2a-vt~eVbW9r5tOfYDQY32XteUQSfkZE4GDn5eKbNW0AteMEeqphIEPwRDD94n5NMJO9wa16wiI-vYPyH4E~4JOqDqSwju8Ef6rrASy~~QHOeA6tzLseTkOP4lbDoaX9qUTgEs29pnNIabkIH5ruHq9qkzlejqK6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff told the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 11 that electrical service at Eagle Landing Park is completed, irrigation systems are being tested, and contractors have removed weeds from the fields; a July construction completion target had been affected by recent weather.

Tiffany, who provided the update, said the developer holds construction responsibility and the city will assume maintenance for most items after completion, with certain items covered by HTX under an agreement that grants that organization priority rental use. \"It will be, the city will be largely maintaining it except certain items that have been agreed upon with HTX,\" Tiffany said. She added that the natural turf has not been established yet but grading and electrical work are done.

On AED placement, staff described a partnership under negotiation with the fire department for outdoor ZAP AEDs. Tiffany said the fire department’s legal review has completed and the city is reviewing a proposed agreement that may need city council approval. Staff said they identified a conduit run that could be installed before sidewalks are poured to reduce later retrofit costs and identified likely AED locations to minimize future installation work.

Why it matters: completed electrical service and early conduit work reduce later installation costs for safety equipment and park operations; the AED partnership will require additional legal or council action before deployment.

Staff said a grand‑opening date for Eagle Landing has not been set while construction and weather impacts continue.","Staff reported that electrical service at Eagle Landing Park has been established and irrigation testing is underway. A proposed AED partnership with the fire department is under legal review; staff identified locations and conduit opportunities during construction to reduce future retrofit costs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6519128,"Art box wraps to proceed with six agreements; commissioners raise artist rights concerns",291,1077000,1368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae&start=1077&end=1368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae/thumbnail_1077000.jpg","/articles/6519128/Fulshear/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Art-box-wraps-to-proceed-with-six-agreements-commissioners-raise-artist-rights-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519128-17d3086104f740a4f9760b9ade769996/orig.mp4?Expires=1770856921&Signature=A8y~3djDhTi1pQF~Gpwx51Hfx2K3U7s9qI6X0NH0gWgUxoXizYt-usHcwejQgyV-nOh8IIh6kQxbotg~Nks7uXtYaZK8-LnUEWyq~n4OtQuzpM2rvm3zlbw8rH9s2kv4V4VRAfNDdkxlfqJZ584pK92QoWzAJN4Ji3xHo-mH6X4-mEl612HjhU7PbwONzi4g3KRT6b-WJpvucVXBUVgJFSbAbu8CM8K4QzQ18AKcvWdbfg3knr5a8LwyYuYvKPEIhTjeGEQSvY1v1SQwNBR~0fDQqCjSxuYv5MrHST3yEIESJYHK7SnxwGiY4Fsqo-PPrgk3Wtyok0xzHN3XH3TcUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff updated the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 11 that the art box public‑art project has TxDOT approval and six of seven artist agreements are executed; staff plan to proceed with four box wraps while construction affects three boxes.

A staff update summarized the schedule: council approved initial agreements, TxDOT subsequently signed off, and six of seven artists have returned executed agreements. \"As of now we have 6 of the 7, the seventh 1 we will not be receiving,\" a staff member reported, and because three of the boxes are located in an active construction zone staff plan to wrap four boxes now and defer the boxes in the construction area until after work is complete. Staff noted payment processing steps, including obtaining W‑9s and issuing checks after artwork receipt.

Several commissioners questioned one contract clause that they said appears to remove artists’ future rights to reuse their art. One commissioner said the clause—described in discussion as denying the artist the right to use the piece again—could discourage participation. A staff member replied that because six artists already executed the same agreement, staff will not change the contract for this phase but agreed to re‑review the clause for future competitions: \"I will go and I will talk with Kelsey again about it, and I will read it and see if there's any, other avenues. But right now, the policy decision is to move forward with the sixth and not the seventh. But there might be some changes we could do in the future.\"

Why it matters: the project is moving toward visible installation while commissioners flagged whether the city’s contract terms are artist‑friendly for future public art calls.

Commissioners asked whether the city’s agreement was exclusive or required assignment of copyright; staff described the current approach as a full executed agreement for the six artists and promised to reexamine contract language in future contests.","Staff reported progress on the public art box wrap project: TxDOT approvals are complete, six of seven artist agreements are executed and four boxes will be wrapped now. Commissioners raised concerns about language in the artist agreement that limits artists’ future use of their work and asked staff to review the contract for future contests.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6519133,"Assistant city attorney reviews commission duties, open‑meetings rules and conflict rules",1028,156000,1184000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae&start=156&end=1184","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5374852-19432900045446779a951876ad024fae/thumbnail_156000.jpg","/articles/6519133/Fulshear/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Assistant-city-attorney-reviews-commission-duties-openmeetings-rules-and-conflict-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519133-8c855433f6293572ad82580b1de76285/orig.mp4?Expires=1770856921&Signature=UrEV~vJA2ycNKPnJYLKx5gB2VQjAGHIaf2DqF14~LXGgfgSZvVVVdE57ZmG9Dh9imWyS4k8AZ3EaLz~-Pz51rc5qTZpEO05hojMi4sNs~yRqCx81ppY~zceHxaXsID6B-lp4Jh29bnRy4gxoMTJuLyBvaHaQ5rnllxgn0XQKH815cdty34p~xx1a0TzErpjO8b1TEW3tCG~9rnQy4rLzLFbaHZLoPzIDHY2hXoedEmeDWUFi7iKUAaQMcCb-FIBV1UoQgMmIQyfmBrLwqfv~gpARJHU1VbpBHp7J7E~b7fwqHgcjgPYd3Ykx98F-XmlGX6dL-vvNa6L6ilMKU2Xpsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assistant City Attorney Josh Green told the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 11 that its members serve as an advisory body to city council and must follow statutory open‑meetings and conflict rules.

Green opened by thanking commissioners for volunteering and then summarized the commission’s role: \"you're here as appointed public officers of the city\" who \"study, recommend, and advise on matters affecting the city's park systems,\" not make binding policy decisions. He read sections of the city ordinance defining the commission's duties and said those recommendations to council must \"first pass a majority vote of this board.\"

Green then reviewed the Texas Open Meetings Act, emphasizing the core requirement: \"The public's business must be done in public.\" He warned commissioners not to deliberate outside posted meetings, including by text, email or daisy‑chained one‑on‑one conversations, and described a walking quorum as a common unintentional violation: \"If a quorum, which is 4 of your 7 members, directly or indirectly discuss city business outside of the posted meeting, that's gonna be a violation of TOMA.\"

On ethics and conflicts, Green summarized Chapters 171 and 176 of the Texas Local Government Code. He said a \"substantial interest\" in a business or real property that could be affected by commission action requires recusal and filing the appropriate paperwork with the city secretary. He described the statutory ownership thresholds that can create a substantial interest and noted the disclosure rules for gifts and income from vendors. Green also cautioned that bribery provisions in the Texas Penal Code remain applicable.

Why it matters: the briefing framed the commission’s legal boundaries and the practical procedures—agenda notice, motion/second practice, recusal and disclosure—that the body must follow to keep recommendations to city council lawful and defensible. Green said these rules exist to protect both the public interest and the commissioners.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions on recusal thresholds, disclosures and procedural details; Green directed members with potential conflicts or questions to consult the city secretary’s office or his office for guidance. The presentation closed with his offer to answer future questions as they arise.","Assistant City Attorney Josh Green briefed the Fulshear Parks and Recreation Commission on its advisory role, Texas open‑meetings requirements, and conflict‑of‑interest and disclosure rules, saying the public’s business must be conducted in public and that commissioners must avoid walking quorums and undisclosed conflicts.","actionData","errors"]
