SUBJECT: Items of Interest
1. Emergency Management Academy 974)2 graduates 17 City employees!
The second annual academy began January 14 and concluded on March
4. The 8-week, 32-hour course focused on emergency management
responsibilities throughout the City of College Station. City personnel, as
well as local and state officials assisted in the instruction of this course.
Participants were educated in the following areas of emergency
management: Introduction to Emergency Management, The Incident
Command System, Emergency Operations Center, Family Preparedness,
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, Emergency Shelter and Mass Care, and
Emergency Public Information. Participants were required to attend each
4-hour class and pass a 50-question exam in order to graduate and
receive their certificate.
2. R. A. "Ray" Terrell- On Friday, February 28, our community lost one of
its' community leaders. Ray worked for the College Station Parks and
Recreation Department for 18 years. From November 15, 1974 through
July 31, 1992, Ray served as our Gym Attendant at Lincoln Recreation
Center. He also served on the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee and
spent many hours in support of the programming that goes on at the
center. The Department will truly miss him. Ray's funeral service was held
at Lincoln Center on Thursday, March 6.
3. Big Event Day - On this day, community leaders will be touring College
Station and Bryan to view economically and socially depressed areas.
This will be coordinated by the Community Development Department and
Lincoln Center will be a stopping point on the tour for orientation and
group discussion. A presentation of services available in College Station
will be viewed by the participants.
H•me of Texas A&14 Unaversity
4. Pathways to Fishing - This event has become very popular with the
school-age youth in this community. This year it will be held on March 22,
at Central Pond starting about noon and running until mid afternoon. The
"Aggie Anglers" are a tremendous help with this event. They solicit
donations, design the promotions, and provide workers on the day of the
event. This year we will be stocking both ponds for the event to handle
the anticipated crowd. Just prior to this event is the annual Easter Egg
Hunt which is sponsored by the College Station Police Department. It will
be held at Central Park on March 22, starting at 10 a.m. For more
information contact Janice Kemp at 764-3579.
5. The 8th Oral History Memory Lane 'Pertaining to the Military from 1900
to 1949" was a big success. Thirty citizens gathered at the Conference
Center on Wednesday, February 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon to
share memories, photographs and memorabilia. The citizens were
divided into small groups with a moderator and note taker in each group.
All of their discussions were tape recorded and videotaped. The notes
will be transcribed into a written form. The goal of the project is to
preserve our local history for our children and future generations. Other
Memory Lanes in the series have included; North Gate, South Side, East
Gate, Early Education part 1, Transportation, Early Transportation part 2,
and The Old Days. The next Memory Lane is scheduled for Wednesday,
July 16, 1997. If you can assist with the event by operating a camcorder,
taking notes, or asking the questions (moderator), please call 764-3720
and ask for Grace or Sylvia.
6. The Amateur Softball Association recently honored thirty-two officials
representing 26 cities across the nation for their excellence in conducting
ASA National Championships in 1996. The representatives were honored
for their overall excellence based on the review of facilities, officiating,
tournament organization, hospitality and field maintenance. Tony
Scazzero, Athletic Supervisor for the College Station Parks and Recreation
Department, was one of the thirty-two officials honored for his efforts in
hosting the 1996 ASA Men's Class C Fast-Pitch Tournament this past
August 29-Septenber 2, 1996.
7. The Xtra Education program continues to grow every season. A total of
70 classes made this season, serving over 540 citizens during the Spring
1997 season. Approximately 20 classes have been canceled this season
due in part to low numbers in registration in specific classes. The program
has shown a profit of $8,623 this season. Some of the new classes that
made this week included Microsoft PowerPoint, Baby-sitting, Photography II,
and Baking with Yeast.

CIP Report 3/12/97 Page 2 of 2
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of College Station Parks and Recreation,
I sincerely apologize for my behavior, which resulted in the destruction of your
park (Bee Creek). There is no excuse for this behavior; not even the fact that I was under
the influence of alcohol. I was wrong! This was a selfish, self-centered and an utmost
inconsiderate act.
To my knowledge,I destroyed two trees, a chainlink fence, the baseball diamond,
and your well groomed lawn. I am sure there's more. I am currently serving one year at
the Brazos County Probation Department. I am also paying$120.00 a month restitution
for the damage I did to your park. Not only am I writing this for the court,but for myself
as well, to relieve some of the guilt and shame that I carry around daily.
I feel personally, I should never step foot on Bee Creek Park again. Please accept
my apology.
Sincerely,
40' -

DISC GOLF COURSE DESIGN PRINCIPLES
1) SPACE and ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS:. A Full Service course requires up
to one acre per hole. However, a Recreational Standard course can
sometimes fit 2-3 holes per acre depending on terrain.
2) HOLE COUNT: Most courses are either 9 or 18 holes. There are several with
1 24 or 27 holes. Tradition appears to dictate that the number of holes be
�, pp
divisible
by
3. It's better to install a well designed 9 or 12 hole course than to try
=to cramp poorly a oorl designed 18 hole course on the same piece of land.
•
' havea configuration for beinners and
3) LENGTH: ALL public courses should g g
casual recreational players that averages no more than 250' per hole.
This is a maximum of 4500' for an 18-hole course or 2250' for a -• o er.
However, the preferred length range is 3600' to 4300' for the average setup on
an
18-hole course. This is an average length of 200' to 240' per hole. No hole
...................
should be shorter than 120' and 150' is the "normal" low end limit.
... .'.:...:. .'..:..... ......:..'. .. aN.'.. .
.............
Longer configurations are achieved by installing alternate tees or target
positions on several holes. Typical 18-hole course setups for advanced players
range from 4500' to 6000 Course setups longer than 6000' are primarily
for
expert players la ers and tournament play. There is no maximum length,.:. allowed

hole. The longest holes in the world are about
determining par for a disc golf
4) PAR: There are several factors to consider for de g .
elevation changes, density of
hole. Length is usually the first consideration, but g ,
�
terrain, use of doglegs, presence of water hazards and out of bounds areas are
equally important l ern octant in determining par. The average par on-a

golf disc course designer or architect can usually foresee
most
safety
concerns regarding re garden course layout. (*In rare situations, fairways can cross
safely.l . Consult a disc golf course designer.)
6) COURSE MARKERS or SIGNS: A sign with the rules and complete course
before the first tee..
layout should be prominently installed
Y
be clearly markers or signs should visible, especially to the beginner
Disc Golf Specialties 248 Litchfield Houston,Texas 77024• (713) .461-Pl5C
and recreational player. The marker or sign designates the starting point
of a hole. They can be as simple as a wooden post with the hole number
displayed in the direction of the hole. This is less expensive and
generally works well when a community is first being introduced to the facility.
Although more expensive, tee signs are recommended and should display the
hole number, length, and preferred flight path.
7) TEES : Tee surfaces are made from a variety of mediums. These include natural
grass/dirt, chipped woOd, fine gravel,.concrete, Astroturf, and rubberized
playground surfacing. The less expensive tee surfaces, (grass/dirt,
chipped wood and fine gravel), require maintenance from time to time.
Although concrete, Astroturf and rubberized playground surface tees are
more expensive, they are virtually maintenance free.
On courses with alternate tees, the tees in the shorter positions should
always be better or at least equal in quality to those in longer positions. For
example, avoid designs where the long tee pads are cement and short tee pads
are'grass or dirt.
8) FAIRWAYS: There should be a preferred flight path to each hole. Ideally, there
should be more than one flight path (including rollers) to play several of
the holes. Obstacles to the flight path should be on the sides and sometimes in
the middle of the fairway. The obstacles should help define the preferred route.
9) TARGETS and TARGET AREA: Any well marked object, post or basket can
serve as a target. Make sure targets do not have any sharp edges to injure
players or damage golf discs. The preferred disc golf course'target is the
fabricated basket. Targets permanently installed outdoors in a public park should
be able to withstand heavy use and all weather conditions. For tournament
sanctioning, the target must conform to Professional Disc Golf Association
(ODOM technical standards.
The target area, or"putting green" should not have too many obstructions
within 30' of the target. An obstruction should not peso imposing that a
player can't putt by altering their stance. A few small,obstpcles in a putting area
that force a player to alter his shot by stretching sideways, throwing from a low
stance or throwing over the top of or through any obstacles near a target are
acceptable. These elements add a challenging degree of Officulty to the game.
10). GENERAL: Course design layout should include a series of holes that return
the player to the starting point. The holes should vary in length and include a
combination of straight and curvec! shots. Transitions between holes should be
„ t
convenient and if the park has both open fields and wooded land, care should be
taken to design holes in both environment to increase variety.
Good course design is fun, provides a sense of accomplishment and the desire to
"do it again".
