Parks & Recreation Director Kevin Conklin reported that a portion of land owned by the DEW International Airport and located on the north side of Mustang Drive had been considered for this purpose. He advised of meetings and discussions with airport and school officials, noting that airport representatives needed additional time for further review. Lengthy Council deliberation followed. Concerns expressed included (1) the City's responsibility and liability if they were to lease property for use as a rodeo arena, (2) the recreational needs of the community as a whole, and (3) the reluctance of the school district to recognize the sport as it is not i sanctioned by the UIL.

No formal action was taken by vote of the City Council, however, the general consensus was in support of the proposed cart trails policy.

Assistant City Manager Kelvin Knauf advised of complications in payment of overtime to assistant golf pros resulting from requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. He noted that golf lessons given by assistant pros after working hours would now be considered overtime. A possible solution would be for the City to retain the $15 lesson fee and pay the employee an hourly i overtime rate. i Mr. Knauf further reviewed the matter and responded to Council inquiries.

He noted the City's natural fluoridation level from Grapevine Lake at 0.2 parts per million and from the Trinity River Authority at 0.4 PPM, with the State recommended level I being 0.8 PPM. The total cost of fluoridating the water supply at the City's treatment plant and the TRA entry point would be approximately $110,000, excluding land acquisition, if TRA did not elect to fluoridate at their treatment plant.
