Approval of Minutest Minutes were approved as submitted. III. Hear Visitors: No unscheduled visitors present. IV. Discpsoon of R�tGommendation to Rename Raintree Park: Mr. John Gudelman wrote a letter to Chair George Dresser on May 30, requesting to rename Raintree Park after one of their residents. Mr. Gudelman stated that Alice Vincent, who passed away several months ago, lived in the neighborhood and was a member of the Homeowner's Association. He stated that she was a good, friendly neighbor, who was well -liked by members of the association. He informed the Board that some of the members of the association would like to rename the park after her. Barry asked if there was a precedent for renaming parks. Steve stated that there was no written policy. One park was recently renamed from Westchester Park to Jack & Dorothy Miller Park due to their community involvement and founding of Brazos Beautiful. He also mentioned that Dexter Park was renamed Brison Park after Dr. Fred Brison. Steve informed the Board that over, the past couple of years plaques have been installed at several parks that had been named after someone. This helps preserve the history of the park and naming of the park. He stated that there is some cost involved in renaming parks. A plaque would have to be produced, as well as changing the park Signs.... Steve also mentioned that if the Board approved to rename a park they would then make a recommendation to. the Council, and it would be up to them to approve the. recommendation to rename the .park. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting June 13, 1995 Page (2) Mr. Gudelman stated that approximately 50-60% of the residents in the neighborhood belong to the homeowner's association. Not all of them have been approached about renaming the park. Ron stated that he would like to know what other members of the neighborhood think before renaming Raintree. Mr. Gudelman stated that he would rather go door-to-door than doing a mail -out because Ms. Vincent passed away only a few months ago and he doesn't want to upset her husband about this proposal until it's approved. Ron suggested doing a petition. Barry motioned to have a policy submitted at the next meeting for renaming future parks. Bob seconded, the motion passed. Bob volunteered to work with staff on producing a policy for the renaming of parks. V. D;isqus*on of Various Potential Park Sites: Steve informed the Board that the Friends Congregational Church would like to sell approximately 2 acres of land next to their church Iocated at 2818 and Southwood Drive. The closest park is Georgie K. Fitch located about three blocks away. He stated that the church wantsto get some money to retire their debt for the construction of their church. They would like someone to buy the property and then donate it to the City for a park, possibly as a tax write off. Bob stated that the land could be used for baseball or soccer practice fields. He stated that both the soccer and baseball organizations could be approached about paying for some of the cost for the upkeep' of the, park. Barry stated that the land is not very level. Ron mentioned that the city has no established policy for accepting land for parks. He would like to see some minimum requirements established for accepting land. Steve presented another area of land, already constructed as a, park, in the Brandon `Heights subdivision that is maintained by the homeowners. The association approached the City a couple of years ago wanting to give this site to the city to maintain. Steve mentioned that the park was not needed because there was already a park in the area. He stated that if it was accepted it would have to be brought up to current city standards by removing some of the playground equipment (i.e., merry-go-round), as well as resurfacing the sidewalks. Steve stated it would•be a good deal if it was needed, but it's not. Bob moved to defer further discussion . until a policy is established for accepting park land. Carol seconded, the motion passed. VI. Discussion of Lick Creek Park Bike Trails: Mike motioned to table this item until the next meeting. The motion passed. VII. Discussion of Wolf Pen Creek Aipphitheater Operations: Sheila passed out an information sheet that summarized events held at the amphitheater. Since the opening in 1993, 47 events have been held with over 72,000 in attendance. Since no records of complaints were documented until this year, Sheila estimated that she had received _approximately 130 complaints since its opening, with 78 complaints this year. The information sheet also showed the decibel level readings ;at I the upper sidewalk for each concert.: Sheila reminded the Board that the policy, set by previous Board members, states that the decibel .level is not to exceed 96 at the upper. sidewalk. Sheila stated that the decibel meter picks up readings from various sound sources such as rain, air, conditioners, cars, etc., making it sometimes difficult to ,get a read from the actual concert. Although complaints were received about Willie `Nelson, he I had a reading of only 84 decibels at the upper sidewalk. Sheila stated that weather has played a big role in the way that sound has traveled, which varies the number of complaints received. She mentioned that the sound workers at the Jackopierce concert were told to turn down the sound whenever it reached 96 decibels. Howe ver,'after leaving the sound booth the workers would turn it back up, so a security guard had to be posted at the sound booth to make sure they kept it turned down Barry suggested getting an individual to do a masters thesis on the sound problem. This could help save the city some money, as well as present some ideas on solving the problem. Bob suggested Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting June 13, 1995 Page (3) that Sheila contact the Texas Transportation Institute who deals with sound abatement for freeways. Ron stated that he would also like to see the department avoid those concerts that have a high risk for complaint until the problem is looked into. Sheila stated that concerts will end at 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 11:00 p.m. on weekends, although she would like to see weekends changed to midnight. Ms. Sandra Parsons lives two blocks from the amphitheater.. She stated that she considers the noise from the concerts close to being an invasion of her privacy. She stated that on some concerts she can distinctly hear the music even with her air conditioner and television on, windows closed, and the fans running. She stated that she even heard Barney sound checks one Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. _ She stated that the removal of the trees and vegetation for the retaining ponds has increased the noise level. Ms. Parsons stated that she has been very impressed with the response she has received when she has called to complain about the concerts. She is pleased that the Board and the department is being proactive with this problem. She stated that the park is quite an addition to the neighborhood and would like to see the problem solved as soon as possible. She would also like to see more park benches constructed in the park. Ms. Parsons mentioned that she has been pleased with the fact that there has been no litter or parking problems. Steve mentioned that after every event not only is the amphitheater cleaned, but so are the surrounding areas, including the streets, sidewalks, mall parking lot, Sears Service Center, etc. Ron asked Steve how quickly trees could be planted at- the amphitheater. Steve stated that live oaks have been planted at the top of the berm. However, it will take several years until they become large enough to be effective. Bob suggested putting speakers at the top of the hill facing down. Steve stated that this could cause problems because each artist has their own particular setup for their act. He also stated that it would take extremely long cables to put speakers at the top of the hill, which artists may not have. Also, running cables up and down the hiII could present a safety hazard. Steve mentioned that some immediate problems are being dealt with currently. He mentioned that Sheila stays in direct contact with the Police Department for every concert, letting them know exactly when the concert starts and ends, as well. as checking from time to time to see if any complaints have been received. He also stated that the decibel level has been lowered to 94 to see if that decreases complaints. He reminded the Board that weather plays a big factor in sound travel. Mr. David Alexander stated that sound travel varies with each concert. He could hear Willie Nelson outside but not inside his home. However, with Jackopierce he could hear everything inside his home. He stated that with the last four concerts he could barely hear the music. VIII. Capital Imorovemept Proaram Report: Pete informed the Board that the Wolf Pen Creek rest rooms are almost complete. They are working on the interior of the building now. Steve stated that the rest rooms have been used for events. Pete mentioned that the Oaks and Thomas projects have been completed. The Southwood Pool project is still being discussed with the architecture firm. Pete stated that he is finished with the designs for Sandstone Park. It should go to bid by the end of the month. The Wolf Pen Creek dredging project is in progress and should be complete in two months. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting June 13, 1995 Page (4) IX.. Other Business/Board Concerns: Ron would like the department to organize a parks tour and retreat to welcome the new board members. Ron would also like more interaction with Council members for more direction on their priorities. Ron suggested doing a joint Board/Council retreat in September. Bridgette informed the members that Andy Sheehy and Debra Anderson were appointed to the Board, with Ron appointed as the Chair.. George Dresser and Carol Reynolds' terms have expired. Barry stated that Andy Sheehy moved to Waco. Bridgette stated that she would call the Council office the following day and check on his status. Ron asked if any members would like to form a subcommittee to work with staff and Peggy Calliham, Public Relations Manager, about misconstrued Wolf Pen Creek issues. Barry and Ron volunteered to work with staff. Ron would also like to see joint meetings with Little League Board members on a regular basis. This will help keep the Parks Board advised of their expanding programs and problems. This will also let the Little League Board know what the city's limitations are regarding the availability of parkland and fields. Steve mentioned that he has asked for the school district to provide a group of people,to help with the design of Pebble Creek Park. This is the park that will be adjacent to the elementary school. Steve discussed the letter Pete Vanecek received from the Texas Department of. Licensing and Regulation regarding Adamson Lagoon. The city was informed that the facility was inspected and found in non-compliance with the provisions of the Elimination of Architectural Barriers Act. Steve mentioned -that although prior to construction of the shade structures all of the designs were approved by the State, the aforementioned department is now stating that the city is in non- compliance. Steve stated that no response has been made at this time. X.

College Station, Texas 77840 Dear Mr. Zuberer: I am sending a copy of the detention pond agreement with this letter. The revisions that we discussed have been made. If these terms meet with the approval of the Homeowner's Association (HOA), please let me know and I will work on getting the necessary city approvals. The agreement will require Council approval and the necessary warranty deed will need to be prepared. At our meeting you inquired about the possibility of letting the play equipment remain with the HOA being responsible for its maintenance. I regret to say that the playground equipment will need to be removed if the agreement is executed. The playground serves no drainage purpose and does not meet the standards in our parks. I can not recommend that the City carry the kind of liability that goes with the play equipment under these circumstances. I will be happy to meet with you to discuss any question you may have regarding the agreement.

As you review the attached budget sheets, it will look as though we have a lot of money with which to end the year. There are several big bills which will be paid at the end of the Kids' Klub year, in June or July. These include insurance ($5000), workman's compensation insurance and FICA ($10,000) and City of College Station ($3500). There will also be charges from Child Nutrition and a small payroll. We have shown a $15,000 payment to CSISD out of the May revenues. This amount will pay off all out -standing debts to the District. Any other monies left in our accounts at the end of July will be a carry over balance as called for in our agreement. I think that this carry over amount will be about $15,000. Given this balance, I think we can go ahead and purchase a few big items for next year (e.g., parachutes, Karaoke machines, etc.) up to a total of $2,500. l would like for you to arrange for storage of these items so that you can get them to the Kids' Klub sites as they are needed. Please get this together along with your start-up supply order for next year and we will get them bought now. We can also set some of the lines in next year's budget a bit higher. I'll talk to you about that in a week or so. Thank you both for the great job you have done in controlling expenses and identifying ways to control costs. You have made my job a lot easier. xc: J.

However, being a full-time student at Texas A&M, I have found it difficult to keep .them entertained when I study at night without resorting to renting movies or watching TV. After dinner this past Friday, my boyfriend and I decided to take the kids to the free concert at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. Being kids, they took their water guns and chased each other until they were soaked, but then they settled down and listened to the music. They even danced a few songs with us! Needless to say, we were all sad to see the band play the last song but were glad to have had the opportunity to relax and listen to the music. On the way home, my brother marveled at the way people were able to enjoy a p2pceful concert at the park during the night. This isn't possible in Dallas unless the park is adequately lighted with a noticeable presence of police. It is a nice feeling to be able to relax and listen to a. concert without worrying for your safety and that of those around you. My brother's comments made me realize how different College Station is from the home I have known all my life. I'd like to thank you for providing the type of family entertainment that you do. I'm glad to know that families and students have a place to go where they can enjoy themselves safely and economically. Keep up the Good Work!

Disctk ,sipq of Recommendation to Rename IiAjFAjxee Park: Mr. John Gudelman wrote a letter to Chair George Dresser on ,May 30, requesting o rename Raintree Park after one of their residents. Mr. Gudelman stated that Alice Vincent, who passed away several months ago, lived in the.,neighborhood and was a member of the Homeowners Association.' He stated that she was a good, friendly neighbor, who was well -liked by members of the association. He informed the Board that some of the members of the association would like to rename the park after her. Barry asked if there was a precedent for renaming parks. Steve stated that there was; no written policy. One park was recently renamed from Westchester Park to Jack & Dorothy Miller Park due, to their community involvement and founding of Brazos Beautiful. He also mentioned that Dexter Park was renamed Brison Park after Dr. Fred Brison. Steve informed the Board that over, the past, couple of years plaques have been installed at several parks that had been named after someone. This helpspreserve the history of the park and naming of the park. He stated that there I is some cost involved in renaming parks. A plaque would have to be produced, as well as changing the park signs. Steve also mentioned that if the Board approved to rename a park they would then make a recommendation to the Council, and it would be up to them to approve the recommendation to rename the park. _. Parks & Recreation Board RegL0" ar Meeting June 13, 1995 Page- (2) Mr. Gudelman stated that approximately 50-60% of the residents in the neighborhood belong to the homeowner's association. Not all of them ha`vq,*bee'n approached about renaming the park. Ron stated that he would like to know what other. I members . 'of the neighborhood think before renaming Raintree. Mr. Gudelman stated that he would rather 'go d6or-to-dooi than doing a mail -out because Ms. Vincent passed away only 4 few months ago and he doesn't want to upset her husband about this proposal until it's approved Ron suggested doing a petition. Barry motioned to have a policy submitted at the next meeting for renaming future parks.' Bob . seconded, the motion passed. Bob volunteered to work with staff on producing a policy for the renaming of parks. V. Discussion of Various Potential Park Sites: Steve informed the Board that the Friends Congregational Church would like to sell approximately 2 acres of land next to their church located at 2818'and Southwood Drive. The closest park is Georgle K. Pitch located about three blocks away. He, stated that the church wants to get some money to retire their debt foi"the construction of their' church. They would like someone to buy the property and then donate it' to, 'the City for 6. park, possibly as tax write off. Bob stated that the land could be used for baseball or soccer practice'fields. He stated that both the soccer and baseball organizations could be approached about paying for some of the cost for the upkeep of the park. Barry stated that the land is not very level. Ron m eniioned that the city has'no established policy for 9 would like to -see' some minimum requirements established for accepting land for 'parks'. e 0 accepting land. Steve presented another area of land, already constructed as a park, in the Brandon Heights subdivision that is maintained by the homeowners. The association approached the City a couple,of years ago wanting to give this site to the city to maintain. 'Steve mentioned that the park was not needed because there, was already a park in the area. He stated that if it was accepted it would have to be brought up to current city standards by removing some of the playground'equipment (i.e., merry-go-round), as well as resurfacing the sidewalks. Steve stated it would be a good deal if it was needed, but its not. Bob moved to defer further discussion' until 11 a policy is established for accepting park land. Carol seconded, the motion passed. VI. Discussion of Lick Creek Park Bike Trails: Mike motioned to table this item until the next meeting. The motion passed. VIL Di,-,,cussion of Wolf Pen Creek AmAitheat4r ODerations: Sheila passed out an in'f6rmatl'o` nsheet 'ihat''summarized events held at the I amphitheater. Si nce the.., opening in 1993 47 events h4v6 'been held with 6v6r72 000 inattendarice... ii nce.,no records of, complaints were docu'rhented Until'this year, �hei a estimated that she had approximately 11 : i 11. 1. 1— ... I � 1. � received 6 1 ! I I 130 complaints sinceIIt§ opening, with 78,compla-ints this year. The information sheet also showed the decibel level readings at the upper sidewalk for. each concert. Sheila reminded the Board that the policy, set by previous Board members, states that the decibel ;i'"alezveI Il, is ,not to, ex1ce.ed, 96at the upper sidewalk" Sheila stated thatth68ecibel picks up readings from various sound sources, as ra' Ationers making it.sometimes difficult t'' such In';air con cars, `6tc-', ma ng i some togeta read from the. actual concert.- 'AM6ug'h 66niplaIhtsiwaje received about .Willie Nelson, hehad a P reading,. ing , decibels atthe 'per'�idewalk.

However, after. 1eaving the sound booth '''t Id' b k he workers would turn it. ac up, so a: security guard had, to be posted at the sound booth to-makesure.ffie . kept it turned down. Barry suggested getting an individual to do a masters thesis on the sound problem. This could 'help save the city some money, as well as present some ideas on solving the problem. Bob suggested Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting June 13, 1995 that Sheila contact the Texas Transportation Institute who deals with sound abatement for freeways. Ron stated that he would also like to seethe department avoid those concerts that have a "high risk for complaint until the problem is looked into. Sheila stated that concerts will end'at 10:00 p.m. on weekdays ' and 1100 p.m. on' weekends, although she would like to see' weekends changed to midnight. Ms. Sandra Parsons lives'two' blocks from the amphitheater. She stated that she considers the noise from the concerts close to being an invasion of her privacy. She stated that on some concerts she can distinctly hear the music even with her air conditioner and television on, windows closed, and the fans running. She stated that she even heard Barney sound checks one Sunday morning at 700 a:m. She stated that the removal of the trees and vegetation for the retaining ponds has increased the noise level. Ms. Parsons stated that she has been very impressed with the response she .has received when she has called to complain about the concerts. She is pleased that the Board and the department is being proactive with this problem. She stated that the park is quite an addition to the neighborhood" and would like to see the problem °solved as soon as possible.' She would also like to see more park benches constructed in the park." Ms. Parsons mentioned that she has been pleased with the fact that there has been no litter or parking problems. Steve mentioned that after every event not only is the amphitheater cleaned, but so are the surrounding areas, including the streets, sidewalks, mall parking lot, Sears Service Center, etc. Ron asked Steve how quickly trees could be planted at the amphitheater. Steve stated that live oaks have been planted at the top of the berm. However, it will take several years' until they, become large enough to be effective. Bob suggested putting speakers at the top of the hill facing down. Steve stated that this could cause problems because each artist has their own particular setup for their act. He also stated that it would take extremely long cables to put speakers at the top of the hill, which artists may not have. Also, running 'cables ' up and'down the hill could present a safety hazard. Steve mentioned that some immediate problems are being dealt with currently. He mentioned that Sheila stays in direct contact with the Police Department for every concert, letting them know exactly. when the concert starts and ends, as well as checking from time to time 'to see if any complaints have been received. He also stated that the decibel level has been lowered to 94 to see if that decreases complaints. He reminded the Board that weather plays a big factor in sound travel. Mr. David Alexander stated that sound travel varies with each concert. He could hear Willie Nelson outside but not inside his home. However, with Jackopierce he could hear everything inside his home. He stated that with the last four concerts he could barely hear the music. VIII. Capital Improvement Program Report: Pete informed the Board that the Wolf Pen Creek rest rooms are almost complete. They are working on the interior of the building now. Steve stated that the rest rooms have been used for events. Pete mentioned that the Oaks and Thomas projects have been completed. The Southwood Pool project is still being discussed with the architecture firm. Pete stated that he is finished with the designs for Sandstone Park. It should go to bid by the end of the month. The Wolf Pen Creek dredging project is in progress and should be complete in two months. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting JurL`13, 1995 Oagq, (4) IX Other Business/Board Cpncerns: Ron would like the department to, organize a parks, tour and retreat to, welcome the new board mernbers .

Barry and Ron volunteered to work with ith staff. Ron would also like to see joint t meetings with Little League Board members on.a regular basis. This will help keep the Parks Board advised I of.their expanding programs and problems. This will also, let the Little League Board know, what the city's limitations are regarding the availability, of, parkland and fields. -Steve mentioned that he has asked for the school: district to provide ,a.group of peopleJo help with the design of Pebble Creek Park. This is the park that will be adjacent to the elementary school.

The quality of the program and it's instructors has remained consistently high. We have understood the need for and agreed with the policy of parents keeping their distance from the pool area so as not to distract the children. However,this year, we are disappointedwiththe new policy of keeping parents out of the fenced area at Thomas Pool. We have supported the bond elections and pay taxes to maintain and upgrade our park facilities so that our family may take advantage of these. We are also concerned, conscientious parents. For these reasons we think we should be treated with more respect and not as the enemy. Our children are 4 and 7 years old and we have no intention of leaving them in a potentially unattended situation. We can't go far in 25 minutes and will not risk the possibility of not being able to get back before the end of their lessons. Providing parent seating areas on the deck around the sand box or at the far south end of the pool area would put us just as far from the children's attention as being banned to the outer area in the mud and ants. Some consideration should be given us as parents rather than making it more difficult to support such an important. activity. T assure you that we are not the only parents that feel this way. Once again, we commend you on the quality of your swimming lesson program but encourage you to act to provide adequate accommodations for the parents. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Susan Massey( X JJames Massey June 12, 1995 Mr. and Mrs. James Massey 3305 Mildonhall Court College Station, Texas 77845-7906 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Massey: Thank you for your recent letter concerning the City's swimming instruction program. We appreciate your support of the parks and recreation programs and regret.the problems that, you have experienced related to the policy of spectators at the swimming lessons. As you know, we formerly allowed parents and others in the pool area during instruction periods with the condition - that they remain in designated locations. These were -usually the covered deck areas at the respective pools. The difficulties arose from children that were not enrolled in any classes being allowed to wander around the pool causing the instructors and life guards to monitor them rather than devote full attention to the students. Also, on some occasions, parents would interfere with the classes by talking with their child or the instructor. This detracts from the learning experience for that child as well as the other members of the clags. The staff does not want to create the feeling of parents as being an enemy. The parents are very critical to the success of the program. They must provide the support and encouragement to the children by getting them to and from the classes and helping them practice what they learn each day. However, the instructional period must be free from outside distractions for the student to be able to gain the full benefit of the daily lesson. This is hampered when instruction is interrupted by an outside influence., Bee Creek, Southwood and Thomas Parks all have covered pavilions and playground equipment located in close proximity to the pools. These are areas that can be utilized while classes are in session. This is particularly good for parents waiting with small children. This may be an acceptable solution for your situation.

We have located two light fixtures that were removed from Oaks Park earlier this year. during a renovation, project. These are 250watt Metal halide rights mounted on 12 foot steel poles. They will be reconditioned and utilized in Windwood Park where they should provide adequate light for that location. The area at Oaks Park was much larger and the lights were not large enough to provide. the minimum light levels needed. We have requested contingency funds to purchase the wires, conduit and concrete needed to complete the installation. Also, all work will be done with City crews to minimize costs. I do not have a schedule for completion of the work, however, we will try to get it done as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and patience in this matter.

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Report: An inspector from the Houston Regional office of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation inspected the Adamson Lagoon facility on May 25th and found the facility to be in noncompliance in numerous areas. The inspection was prompted by the recent shade structures additions that were installed during the past several years. The project architect had submitted all the required information to the Commission during the design process and no modifications were mandated at that time. The City has been given ninety days to respond to this inspection report and to bring all items into compliance or face administrative penalties. Many of these items are fairly easy to resolve by striping parking spaces or installing a sign to meet specifications. However, many of the items listed will require extensive modification to walks and bathhouse. We have not had time to fully study, the report and determine a cost estimate to implement these ,changes. We have forwarded the notice to our legal Department for their study and recommendation as .to the best course of action for the City. 5. Kids Fishing Derby: the 8th annual Fishing Derby was held at Cy Miller Pond. Approximately ,1 D0 kids were in attendance along with parents. Boy Scout Troop I300 supplied logistic support by manning the weight table, running the casting competition, untangling lines, baiting hooks, and generally ;being :helpful. Dean Willis of "Casey's Bait and Tackle" supplied the bait and most of the prizes.. This year's big fish competition was won by a second grader, Kellie Gerling, who pulled in a 22" channel catfish moments before the final whistle blew. The pond was stocked before the event with approximately 500 Ibs of channel catfish. 6. Wolf Pen Creek Update: The dredging work at Wolf Pen Creek is scheduled to start next week. The dredge will arrive on Monday and the cranes to lift it into the lake will arrive Tuesday morning. The project is fairly complicated and involves several City departments. The Public Services Department constructed two holding ponds on top of the hill where the silt will be deposited. The Development Services Department performed the design and engineering work and will serve as manager for the project. Parks & Recreation and Facilities Maintenance are providing support for the project as required. The contractor bid forty working days to complete the job. This schedule will be greatly influenced by the weather and, hopefully, we will not experience any unusual rain events during this time period. ..The roofing materials for the new rest room building arrived this .week and that project is near, completion. We have been using the facility without a roof for. the past month and are looking forward to having the building finished. This has been a great asset to the facility patrons and works very well from the design standpoint. Also, a new entrance walk and additional area lighting was added as part of the project. " 7. Shenendoah _Subdivision Proposal: i talked with a representative of the homeowners association concerning the proposal to turn their site over to the City for use as public park. She said that their Board met and discussed this issue and they have several questions that they want to discuss with me at a future meeting. ' They are not necessarily opposed to converting the site into a public park and any final decision will require approval two thirds of the entire association after a ninety day notice period. I will meet with them some time prior to their next regular Board meeting on July and try to answer any questions that they might have. There is no action required by the Parks & Recreation Board at this time. 8. Church Property: I was contacted by a member of the Friends Congregational Church which is located at the intersection of Southwood Drive and FM 2818 about the possibility of donating some of their property to the City for use as a neighborhood park site. He said that the church wanted to dispose of some of their open property to help retire their debt incurred during construction of the building. The idea is to find someone who will buy the property from the church and then donate it to the city as a tax write off. I have not looked at the site nor do I have any recommendation at this time. A sketch is enclosed with your packet that indicates the proposed park area would be approximately 2 acres. The closest existing park is Georgie K. Fitch Park located west of Rio Grande on Balcones. This will be on the agenda as a discussion item to get an -indication..,if there is any interest from the Board that would warrant further consideration. Please try to.look at the site prior to the meeting next Tuesday. 9. Branden Heights Subdivision: We have received word that the homeowners association "for this subdivision wants to give their play equipment and recreation facilities to the city . This equipment is located in the 'detention pond area that serves he subdivision and the city is also discussing the on going maintenance responsibilities for that facility with the association. The site is located on Welsh Street approximately 11 :one block from Jack & Dorothy Miller. Park. I do not know anything about the equipment or how it was installed and maintained. i have told the association representatives that we have ample parks and facilities in that area of town and do not need any more. I can certainly understand their concern, however, I am very reluctant to assume this cost to the city when we are already providing services in that neighborhood. Basically, the recreational facilities were added to the detention pond by the developer as a means to help market his subdivision. There was no requirement nor involvement from the city for the installation of this equipment. 10. Auto Club at Central Park: 138 cars were registered for the Antique Auto Association tour that was held at Central Park on Friday, June 9th. These cars range from a 1903 Oldsmobile to several 60's era classics. One car, a 1931 Auburn, is a six time national champion that is estimated to be worth up to $350,000. The show is held in a different location in Texas each year. This year's event is the result . of a collaborative effort between the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Hilton Hotel and the Parks & Recreation Department. A similar event will be held at Central Park on the weekend of August 19-20th. That event is sponsored by the Bluebonnet :Streetrod Club and will represent their 4th year. We have received many compliments about the facility and the staff support for these groups and the potential is for more of these type of events in the future. We also.schedule a free concert at the amphitheater as an additional attraction for these visitors to the community and that has been very popular with the participants. 11. Swim Instruction Complaints: We have received several complaints concerning our policy to keep parents and spectators out of the pool area during swim lessons. We tried this for the past two years and had numerous problems with parents interfering with instruction, other children not being properly supervised and climbing on equipment or running around the decks and causing other related distractions from class. This year we informed the parents that they would have to remain outside the fence during classes and some are upset about the policy. The main reason we have taken this approach is for the safety of the participants. When parents interrupt a class or a lifeguard is distracted by a child running on the deck that leaves someone in the pool unattended. Also, it is not conducive to effective instruction and is detrimental to the other students in the class. We are trying to provide the best instruction in the safest possible manner. This requires a time free from outside distractions for instructors, guards and students. G
