Lindale City Council members worked through a brief agenda this past week at city hall prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday and made a decision on a plan for renovations at Pool Park.
On the recommendation of the Lindale Parks Board, city council members moved away from a plan for an all-inclusive playground for those with special needs which was presented in an August council meeting by representatives from Cal’s Pals.
During the August meeting, Cal’s Pals representatives said they were also trying to work with the Lindale ISD on the project, but council members learned at the Nov. 21 meeting the school district isn’t in on the project.
After hearing the presentation in August, council members learned there were differences in the plan then and the one now.
In August, Councilman Bryan Summerville spoke for the majority of the council that some specific dollar figures and plans need to be presented to the city before any final commitment could be made.
Cal’s Pal’s officials said at that time they hoped to have some itemized details in early fall.
In other action, the council:
• tabled an item dealing with fencing around the downtown water tower. Council members want to seek more options on the fencing;
• Approved the firm of Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins and Mott to collect uncollected court fines.
