e. Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase
order not to exceed $95,000.00 with Strykker Corporation for the purchase
of a Lucas lifepak and Lucas 3 chest compression system for Fire Station
#2. (Fire Chief Ray Isom)
The Fire Department has determined that the Lucas lifepack and Lucas 3
chest compression system are essential life safety equipment for the staff
who will work out of Fire Station #2.
The two items listed in this purchase are critical ALS (Advanced Life
Support) equipment for the exam room at Station-2. The patient exam
room is utilized for “walk-in” patients that drive themselves to the fire
station in distress. The exam room is only a stand-alone resource if
properly equipped with the same critical care equipment as the ambulance
due to the fact that the ambulance is often out of the station. Stryker
Corporation is the sole-source vendor for both of these items.
The LIFEPAC 15 cardiac monitor/defibrillator is the model carried on all of
our ambulances and is utilized as the primary patient assessment tool for
all patient contacts.
The Lucas device is a mechanical chest compression apparatus used to
deliver optimal, hands-free, compressions during CPR.
Funding for the construction of Fire Station #2 was appropriated in the
FY2024 Community Investment Program budget in the amount of $11.0
million from the 2021 Bond Program - Proposition A Public Safety.
Funding for furniture, fixtures, and equipment will come from the
Infrastructure Investment Fund. The estimated cost of Lucas lifepak and
Lucas 3 chest compression system is $95,000.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THE
PROCUREMENT OF A LIFEPAK 15 V4 AND LUCAS 3 CHEST
COMPRESSION SYSTEM TO STRYKER CORPORATION IN THE
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
ZERO CENTS ($95,000)
7. Items For Individual Consideration.
a. Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance to
rezone from Agriculture (AG) to Downtown (DT/ND) Neighborhood District
5.0 ± acres located on the west side of Farm-to-Market Road 2862.
(Planning Manager Lauren Mecke)
The applicant proposed to rezone the property to the Downtown –
Neighborhood (DT/ND) District to allow for future development which is in
line with the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan for the Downtown
Neighborhood District. The request is in conformance with the Anna 2050
Future Land Use Plan.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning
request at the March 4, 2024 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
The applicant requested to rezone the property to Regional Commercial
(C-2) District and Downtown (DT) District zoning to allow for future
development.
The intent of the Downtown (DT) District is to:
1. Implement the Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan adopted by City
Council;
2. Facilitate pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use, urban infill development
providing shopping, employment, housing, and business and personal
services;
3. Promote an efficient, compact, and walkable development pattern;
4. Encourage pedestrian activity while reducing reliance on automobiles;
and
5. Allow developers flexibility in land use and site design.

types to support the district.

The Mixed-Density Residential (MD) district provides medium-density
residential development with diversified housing choices. This district
encourages a mix of singlefamily and two-family residential uses and
incentivizes community amenities to form compact, accessible, and
walkable neighborhoods.
The Multi-Family Residential (MF) district provides for high-density
residential development, targeting well-designed multi-family uses serving
as a transition between medium-density residential development and
commercial nodes. This district encourages multi-family uses with site
development characteristics that accommodate open space and access to
light and air.
The Regional Commercial (C-2) district provides for medium- to large-
scale development of retail, service, entertainment, and office necessary
for a regional market. This district primarily facilitates commercial
development, like big box and anchor retailers and intensive shopping
strip centers that are automobile oriented and generate high traffic counts.

AGENDA ITEM:
Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Park Development Fee
Credit Agreement with Arden Park Owner TX LLC. (Parks Planning & Development
Manager Dalan Walker)
SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Park Development
Fee Credit Agreement with Arden Park Owner TX LLC (Developer). Under the
Agreement, the Developer will design and construct a trail along the entire southern
edge of the Arden Park development that will connect to an existing trail at the
southeast corner of Natural Springs Park. The park development fees owed by the
Developer will be reduced by the costs associated with the design and construction of
the trail. The remaining park development fees will be collected as each lot develops
and will be paid by each home builder at the time of permitting as described in the
current park development ordinance. The Agreement is credit-based and will not
involve reimbursement to the Developer by the City.
The Agreement essentially does two things. First, it provides pedestrian access from
the Arden Park development into Natural Springs Park via an eight-foot wide concrete
trail. Second, it expands the City trail system in accordance with the 2050 Parks Master
Plan.
Per the terms of the agreement, the park development fee owed by each home builder
on each lot will be reduced by the total cost of the trail design and construction. The
trail will be constructed before the lots along the southern edge of the development are
built due to limited access for construction equipment. The developer has designed the
trail and is ready to begin construction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This credit agreement will result in a reduction of Park Development fee revenue equal
to the cost of design and construction of the trail. It is less costly, however, for the
developer to construct the trail now than if the City were to build it after all the homes
along the southern edge of the development were built, due to construction access
limitations and contractor mobilization costs. In addition, the balance of park
development fees due after construction of the trail will be deposited into the Park
Development Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Arden Park is a development located on FM 455 east of Natural Springs Park. The
proposed trail construction is a segment of trail shown in the Trails & Sidewalks Plan as
a future trail in the Anna 2050 Parks Master Plan.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Active.

AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution regarding the naming of a park located at
3031 County Road 422 to be named "Hassie Lawrence Morgan Park." (Director of
Neighborhood Services Marc Marchand)
SUMMARY:
The Parks Advisory Board reviewed and unanimously recommended to the City Council
naming the new park located at 3031 County Road 422 for an early and beloved Anna
neighbor, Mrs. Hassie Lawrence Morgan, a dear friend of Henry Clay "Yank"
Washington, at the January 29, 2024 Parks Advisory Board meeting. Mrs. Morgan was
born Hassie Katherine Lawrence on January 28, 1894 operated a grocery store and
meat market located in the current Anna downtown area near what is now 4th Street.
Mrs. Morgan was widowed in 1936 and operated the store with her son. She later
married her late husband, Eldred Morgan’s, first cousin the famed American silent film
comedian, Kewpie Morgan (born Horace Allen Morgan), who performed in vaudeville,
starred in silent films with Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, and many others.
Mrs. Morgan was known to be a woman of strong character, determination, and grit,
and it is said that she once chased someone out of her store with a meat clever for
making an off-colored remark. Her grandson, Mr. Bart Morgan, said that she was not
afraid of copperheads or most anything else with the exception of tornadoes. She really
didn't like those. It is particularly notable that she was a dear friend of Mr. Henry Clay
"Yank" Washington, who was a beloved Anna neighbor and is believed to be the only
African American neighbor in Anna from the late 1800s through the mid-1930s. Yank
worked at the grocery and meat market, lived at the back of the store, was cared for by
Mrs. Morgan when Mr. Washington became unable to work late in his life, and was
loved and respected by her whole family. The City Council named a neighborhood park
for Yank on April 13, 2021.
Mrs. Morgan sold the store in 1940, moved to Grand Prairie during the war, and worked
as a “Rosie the Riveter” with Chance Vought again exhibiting outstanding character and
representing the strength, work ethic, community pride, and patriotism found in so many
women during that time.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
NA
BACKGROUND:
City Council adopted a Policy and Procedure for Naming City Parks, Trails,
Recreational Areas, and Other Recreation Facilities on November 10, 2020. The
Neighborhood Services Department followed the naming policy in researching Mrs.
Morgan with support from the Anna Area Historical Preservation Society and her living
descendants, and the Parks Advisory Board recommended to the City Council on
January 29, 2024 to name the park Hassie Lawrence Morgan Park in honor of her
friendship with Yank, her courage and patriotism as a "Rosie the Riveter," and her
contributions to the hope for inclusion that would eventually grow to be a principal value
in our community.

The following criteria maybe used in determining the appropriateness of the naming
designation:

c. Historical or cultural significance
d. Persons of outstanding civic service to the city
e. Documented cormnunity support
f. Events hosted in the area
g. Relevant concepts or ideas

1. City residents, staff, community leaders, and community organizations interested in
proposing a name for a park or other recreational area shall submit a written
recommendation to the Neighborhood Services Director. Recommendations need to
describe in detail why the submitted name merits designation.
2. A variety of means to encourage public participation to submit a name maybe

AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution awarding the Natural Springs Playground
construction project to Hunter Knepshield of Texas, Inc. and authorizing the City
Manager to execute a construction contract in a form approved by the City Attorney.
(Park Planning & Development Manager Dalan Walker)
SUMMARY:
Staff requests approval of a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Construction Agreement with Hunter Knepshield of Texas, Inc. for the manufacture and
installation of a playground at Natural Springs Park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Natural Springs Park Playground project was appropriated in the
FY2024 Community Investment Program budget in the amount of $400,000 from the
Park Development Fund. The estimated cost of this construction contract is $399,729.
BACKGROUND:
A tree house/nature themed playground was included as a project for Natural Springs
Park in the FY23-24 budget. In order to maximize options and get the most value for
the budget, staff structured the Request for Proposal (RFP) in a manner that was
essentially a design competition. Criteria defining the project scope included:
• Design budget not to exceed $400,000
• Concrete walkway, surfacing and drainage included in budget
• General location east of the dog park near tree grouping
• Design may combine or separate play for different age groups
• Playground must include accessible elements
• Design must have a nature theme
• Existing trees must not be damaged
• Vendors may each submit three designs
• Contract must include a community build element
The RFP was issued and advertised on January 2, 2024. Proposals were received and
reviewed February 20th, 2024. On February 29th, the Parks Advisory Board completed
a detailed review and discussion of 21 designs submitted by eight vendors narrowing
the designs to nine finalists. The finalists were included in an online survey that was
posted on March 11th and closed on March 25th. The level of participation in the
survey was incredible with 1,230 neighbors voting on their top three favorite designs.
The rankings were weighted with each first place vote receiving three points, second
place receiving two points and third receiving one point. Hunter Knepshield's design
was the clear winner, receiving 1,908 points, over 650 points more than the next highest
ranking playground design.
The winning design was presented to the Parks Advisory Board on March 28, 2024, and
they voted unanimously to recommend the design by Hunter Knepshield to City Council.
Once the construction agreement is executed and the design is finalized, the
playground equipment will be ordered. The time expected for manufacturing the
equipment is 18 to 22 weeks. Construction is expected to begin in September 2024
with completion in November 2024.
Due to the complexity and height of this particular design, the vendor does not
recommend involving the public in anything related to the installation of structural
elements of the playground. Hunter Knepshield recommends inviting our neighbors to
participate in the installation of the surfacing material, which is an engineered wood fiber
product. The work could be timed so that the community participation and ribbon
cutting could occur on the same day during the same event. Once the surfacing is
installed, the playground will be open for play. Staff supports their recommendation.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Active.

Thoroughfare Plan. The City is currently engaged with a contractor to construct the
section of Leonard Avenue from Foster Crossing Road to the Collin County Outer Loop.
There is a segment of Leonard Avenue between Gardendale Hollow Lane and Foster
Crossing Road where Leonard is still a 2-lane road. Staff requested the contractor to
provide a quote for a change order to expand their project scope to include the
construction of the 2 un-built lanes north of Foster Crossing. The total cost of the
change order was quoted to be $618,735.85. Staff is recommending a budget of
$650,000 to allow for contingencies, and is recommending the use of Roadway Impact
Fees and County Bond Funds to fund the additional segment of the road.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Leonard Avenue project was appropriated in the FY2024 Community
Investment Program budget in the amount of $3.891 million, with $1.11 million from the
Road Impact Fees Fund and $2.781 million from Collin County. The estimated cost of
this change order is $650,000.

January 2024 with Resolution 2024-01-1589.
