Hennessey Rodeo Grounds Improvements Overview During the Hennessey Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, April 8th, Town Administrator Tiffany Pollard Rowen outlined proposed improvements to the rodeo grounds. This video outlines the planning and proposals for infrastructure improvements, focusing on drainage and leveling for parking, rodeo grounds perimeter fencing, and the removal and expansion of RV parks. It includes detailed discussions on current statuses, proposals, and action items necessary for these projects. Budget Planning for Infrastructure Improvements • Drainage and Leveling for Parking o Discussion on the need for drainage and leveling improvements for parking areas. o Rowen and Alyssa Kubat, the Public Works Director, have been collaborating on this project. o Plans to include these improvements in the budget for the next year or the following year. o Emphasis on brainstorming to prepare budgets effectively. • Rodeo Grounds Perimeter Fencing o Proposal to install a uniform metal pipe fence with wire rope around the rodeo grounds. o Current fencing includes a mix of hog panels and other materials, and aims to standardize this. o Efforts are underway to obtain pricing information for the new fencing. o Rowen plans to present these findings as they progress further in their research. RV Park Removal and Parking Expansion • Current Status of RV Parks o The RV park has not been used for over six months. o RV parks were initially established to fill a void due to the lack of commercial RV parks in town. o There are now commercial RV parks available west and south of town. • Proposal for RV Park Removal o Suggestion to remove the RV parks as they are no longer necessary and do not contribute to community needs. o Plan to maintain water accessibility in the area. o Proposal to remove meter boxes and clear the area to expand parking, which is identified as a critical need. 5.
