This podcast contains comments from the April 11, 2023 Bryan city council meeting.

The Bryan city council unanimously approve spending more than $5 million dollars on outdoor amenities at Midtown Park

Before the vote, about 30 minutes of discussion included questions about the revenue that has been generated during the first five months of operating the Legends Events Center. The council agreed to hold a future workshop to get specifics. Deputy city manager Hugh Walker provided general information of what has happened and what is going to happen at the multipurpose facility.

Walker also touched on public use thus far at the Legends Events Center and addressing the lack of parking.

As for Bryan council approving the construction contract, mayor Bobby Gutierrez brought up twice, that the funding was within the Midtown Park bond budget.

The city's special projects director, Frank Clark, walked the council through the multiple components of the additions.

That includes four lighted sand volleyball courts, an outdoor terrace seating from the Legends Events Center where visitors can see the sand volleyball courts and the lake, artificial turf between the Legends Events Center and the lake, about one-third of a mile of a multipurpose trail around the lake, building a foundation for the future construction of a building to house kayaks...a structure that may be built by Bryan ISD students...and a floating pier and a floating dock.
