 Project in discussion for past few years
 Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service approached City for possible
locations – need for approximately 1.5 – 2.5 acres
 Parks and Recreation provided 3 possible site options
 Central Park vicinity – land to south, along HWY 6
 Bachmann Park between Community Center and Pavilion
 Anderson Park
 Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service preferred Central Park location

4. Staff endorses concept but recognizes some issues:
 Site location adjacent to Central Park
 Entry/access to Safety City
 Parking for School Buses and other vehicles
 Gas well located on property (in close proximity)
 Currently a location for asphalt millings from both Public Works and TxDOT
