Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Sponsorship Agreement with Atmos Energy Corporation and the Play for All Foundation for a Village Pod building at the Play for All Abilities Park.

Body

This item will authorize the Mayor to execute a Sponsorship Agreement with Atmos Energy Corporation and the Play for All Foundation for a gas utility building in the Village Pod Expansion at Play for All.   Atmos has donated $25,000 to the foundation to sponsor this building.   The Play for All Playground is located at 151 N. A.W. Grimes Blvd. and has become one of the most popular playgrounds in Round Rock with approximately 1000 visitors at the park daily.  With the popularity and extreme use of the playground, it has become necessary to expand the park boundaries and offer additional play experiences.  The Play for All Expansion Project includes adding additional parking, realigning the entry drive, addition of three (3) new playpods, and expanding the five (5) existing playpods.  Lighting will also be added as part of the expansion.

The Play for All Expansion Project is a joint collaboration between the City and the Play for All Foundation.  The Foundation has raised over $500,000 to help fund the project and are continuing to raise funds.
