Steve informed everyone that the Pebble Creek Park project was included in the bond program earlier in the year. The project has a budget of $200,000 and is intended for a neighborhood park. It is being built in conjunction with the Pebble Creek Elementary School. Steve mentioned that the city would be meeting with the school board the following Monday to discuss the three concepts that had been produced by the Parks Department since the first public hearing. Steve stated that citizens at the first public hearing inquired about sidewalks leading from the neighborhood park to the business park. He informed those present that there was land in between those two properties that had not been platted yet, and that would have to be done first. Steve reviewed the program elements that were discussed at the first public hearing. He also said that the teachers from the school board meeting indicated an interest for a vegetable garden in the park. Pete showed three concepts that he developed for the public hearing. Concept A depicted four baseball practice fields, three soccer fields, 1/3 mile jogging trail with six exercise stations, basketball court, and two playgrounds. Concept B was similar to A but had better field orientation that was angled to the north. Also, the jogging trail was increased to 1/2 mile. Concept C illustrated a similar layout but showed more open space with only two baseball and two soccer fields. One citizen asked why the city was building the park on school property. Steve mentioned that if the amenities were built on park property the distance, approximately 600 feet, would be too great for school kids to utilize them during the school day, One woman stated that although most of the children in the area are young, she would like to see amenities for older kids added for when they grow, which is just a few years down the road. Mr. Reedy stated that he sees more young kids playing in the sand on volleyball courts, than he sees people playing volleyball. He asked if sandboxes could be constructed for young kids. Pete stated that it would be difficult keeping the sandbox sanitary because there would be no way to keep animals away from it. Also, it may be difficult replacing sand on a continuous basis. Ms. Davis stated that she would like to see fewer practice fields constructed. She moved from Emerald Forest and said she never saw the practice fields at Sandstone Park being used. Steve mentioned that youth athletic leagues have grown tremendously and more practice fields are needed. Bob stated that Sandstone Park had been used a lot within the last couple of years. Mr. O'Shea liked the idea of half basketball courts, but would also like to see a full court built for older kids and adults in the neighborhood. Ms. Crouch suggested seating areas in the park that were constructed in an "L" shape or circle, something that allows for easy conversation. Mr. Adams asked why the park was in the far end of the subdivision instead of being centrally located. Steve mentioned that it came about due to the land dedication and the way the subdivision was developed. Ms. Crouch mentioned that there will be a park concept in the business park adjacent to the subdivision. Davis Young, who is involved in the continuing development of Pebble Creek, stated that it is possible that more parks will be constructed within other areas of the subdivision, however they will be on a smaller scale. Ron asked for a vote from the citizens regarding which concept they preferred most, so that staff could proceed with a proposed design and layout of the park. Both Concept A and B received no votes. Concept C was voted for unanimously. One man asked about football goal posts at the park. Bob stated that there is no tackle football in youth sports in College Station, and flag football doesn't use goal posts. Some discussion took place regarding picnic units in the park. A gentleman clarified that the citizens would like picnic units but no grills, as they are messy. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting November 14, 1995 Page (3) Steve stated that there will be a trail connection from the Pebble Creek subdivision to Lick Creek Park. Todd stated that the city would like to build a linear park in the north gate area. He showed several slides of the area depicting where the park could be constructed. He stated that the concept had been recommended by the consultants who are working on the city's master plan. The park could be developed in conjunction with the 20-year redevelopment and revitalization plan that the council -appointed subcommittee is working on. Todd stated that the subcommittee and staff are concerned about the historical value of some of the buildings in the area and hope to restore some of those to their original state. He mentioned that the North Gate Master Plan will be going to council for formalized adoption and approval in December. He hopes to implement some commercial redevelopment immediately. Some problem areas, due to the age of the area, include no curbing gutters or sidewalks, which prohibit walking. 11111:1-.19100-111 TI 1 1.1. Pete mentioned that there are five potential bidders for the Southwood Pool renovation project. Bid opening will be November 30. The Sandstone Park project should be completed in January. Steve mentioned that a grant has been approved by the State for contracting out the planting and care of trees in that park. VI. OTHE _BUSIN_ESSIBOAR® CONCERNS: Mike asked about some work that was being done at Lick Creek Park. Curtis stated that his staff filled in a washed -away area with a mixture of asphalt and dirt to help deter erosion until a permanent culvert could be constructed. He also stated that the iron bridge would be disassembled in the near future. Barry asked if staff intended to erect adjustable -height basketball goals in parks. Steve stated that staff would have to find some sturdy ones that could not be easily damaged by users. Pete mentioned that he would send off for some brochures that illustrate these type goals and would look into it. Barry also offered to serve on the User Fees Subcommittee.

Such activities contribute to educational development and encourage leisure, literacy, which are increasingly important aspects of life. Youth is defined as all students up to, and including, twelfth grade. The City will' absorb the bulk of these costs. `l C. It is intended that facilities and programs should be available to all citizens and that none should be excluded because of inability to pay.

I appreciate not only your willingness to help, but also your willingness to do this in my absence. This has been a terrible semester for me as far as travelling goes. the students described your presentation as "cool", and I know they were not referring to the weather. These days, that is about the best compliment one can expect from people under about age 25. Thanks again and please call if I can somehow return the favor. Sincerely, Michael G. Messina Associate Professor xc: Mr. Ric Ploeger Mr. Steve Beachy 1218 Merry Oaks College Station, Tetras, 77840-2609 (409) 764-8402 Dr. Peter E. Tarlow Nov. 12, 1995 Julie O'Connell Asst. Director for Human Resources City of College Station P.O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 Dear Julie, It was good to meet you last week and I look forward to our working together. Per your request here is a brief course outline. In reality, 1 am sure that you and I will want to modify this outline to meet specific needs. Also we may want, for reasons of efficiency and good use of examples, to develop logical groupings. Per my discussions with the chief part of the course will look at specific tourism related areas that fall into three broad categories. These broad categories are: I. The Fundamentals of Tourism ® Who is a tourist s Tourism impact on the local economy ® Sociological Theories that explain the behavior patterns of out-of-towners ® The impact of the International traveler on A&M 9 Crimes against visitors: What they are and how to react New travel groups for the 21 st century ll. Specific Issues for College Station ® George Bush Library O Children and School Bus Visitation i Dealing with Professors • Dealing with the special needs of academic conferences Ill Service Component 6 Developing better listening and attitude skills 4 how to and not to react with an angry citizen how to project an attitude of "service" instead of superiority 4 the first impression is the only impression 4 Basics of the tete a tete: face-to-face and telephone -to -telephone communication How to say "no" (give a ticket etc. ) and not make an enemy What to do when the "other guy" does not speak English or barely speaks it. 0 A quick tour of different cultures q be careful of hand signals body languages are as different as spoken languages ® Knowing something about College Station 4 Promoting our home town 4 Giving accurate information - Learning how everyone is part of economic development What to do when the "customer" is wrong. The art of oral self-defense Though it will be hard to get all this material into a one day course, we'll try our best. Of course, I welcome your input, ideas for modifications of this rough outline, or additional ideas. As I had designed the course specifically for police, I will need to make those modifications that are necessary so that other city workers will also get the most useful information possible. Having worked with cities and states all over the world, 1 am sure that you will agree with me that there are few cities in this country that have police departments as forward -looking and progressive as is ours. Few police chiefs would be willing to allow their officers to have joint courses with other city officials. If I can sound a bit rabbinic we are indeed blessed. I look forward to hearing from you soon. "011:1= In (shalom) peace, Peter E. Tarlow p.s. I have kept Dick Forester up-to-date on all matters and he will be attending most of the sessions. He of course is extremely happy by the chief's initiative and city manager's decision. 707 Texas Avenue South Suite 213-D College Station, Texas 77840-1917 Telephone: (409) 696-7955 Teleiax: (409) 693-3482 Telex: 168743 November 29, 1995 City of College Station Conference Center 1300 George Bush Drive College Station, TX 77840 Attention: Gracie Calbeit RE: Sedco/Schlumberaer Recruitina Event - November 27. 1995 Dear Ms. Calbeit: Enclosed is the completed College Station Conference Center Survey.

Box 9960 Boeme College Station, TX 77842 WALTER UMPHREY Beaumont Dear David, PERRY R. BASS Chairman -Emeritus I have enclosed information concerning rainbow trout stocking in Central Park Pond and Ft. worth Cy Miller Pond and other lakes in our area. You will find proposed stocking dates and stocking locations as well as a brochure containing information about the program. The brochure also gives helpful information for the public on how to fish for trout. Please remind anglers that a $7.00 trout stamp is required in addition to a valid Texas fishing license for all anglers requiring a valid fishing license. The daily bag limit is five trout per angler just as it was last year. This program is supported by the sale of trout stamps so the better it is publicized, the better chance we have of continued trout fishing opportunities. Also, I have enclosed the utilization survey forms needed to complete the trout utilization surveys. Complete instructions for conducting the surveys are also included. Remember that sites receiving multiple stockings must have a survey completed for each stocking. The information obtained from the surveys is vital to our allocation process for the following year, so it is important that they be done correctly and on time. Please try to have the completed surveys back to me within one week of their completion. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please call me any time.

The Red Ribbon Rally was a tremendous success, due primarily to the efforts and commitment of community leaders and volunteers like you, and the generous support of our community. We could not have accomplished so much without your contribution. We were most successful in reaching our school -aged youth, their families, and community members, not only in Brazos County, but also in the five surrounding counties. Participation was at an all-time high due to your efforts. Please accept the enclosed certificate as a small token of our appreciation. Again, thank you for your help. Please remember us next year.

From: Gary Marske To: SBEACHY Date: 12/5/95 11:35am Subject: REQUEST FOR FIELD USE I HAVE REVIEWED THE REQUEST FOR THE USE OF ONE OF THE SL BASEBALL FIELDS BY THE BRAZOS VALLEY BASEBALL ASSOCIATION AND HAVE THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS. ALSO, I AM INCLUDING AN ESTIMATE OF THE ADDED COST TO THE CITY TO SUPPORT THIS PROPOSED USE. -BASED ON THE PRESENT USE OF THE SL FACILITY BY THE HIGH SCHOOL (MID JAN.-MID APR.) AND LL (APR -MID AUG.), AND THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS (MID NOV.-MID JAN.), IT SEEMS THE ONLY PERIOD THE FIELD WILL BE AVAILABLE IS FROM APPDX. AUG.15 TO THANKSGIVING. OF COURSE THIS COULD BE EXTENDED IF THE C.S.LL DID NOT NEED TO USE BOTH FIELDS FOR THEIR SECOND SEASON.FROM LAST YEARS NUMBERS I THINK THIS IS A POSSIBILITY. THE REGULAR LL SEASON ENDS AFTER THE PLAYOFFS IN MID JULY. -I WOULD RECOMMEND BVBA WORK WITH LL TO SHARE THE USE OF THESE FIELDS.WE MAY NEED TO INTERVENE IF IT BECOMES EVIDENT THE TWO GROUPS CANNOT WORK TOGETHER, OR LL IS TIEING UP THE FIELD FOR ONLY TWO OR THREE TEAMS. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT LL HAVE THEIR SL SECOND SEASON ON FIELD #5 AND FIELD #6 MODIFIED TO 80' BASES FOR THE USE BY BVBA.THIS WOULD BE DONE AFTER ALL THE PLAYOFFS WERE COMPLETED, APPROX. 15 JULY. -ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS, IF LL DOES NOT HAVE A 13YR OLD LEAGUE THE FIELD COULD BE MODIFIED AFTER THE HIGH SCHOOL IS FINISHED IN APRIL. ADDED MAINTENANCE COSTS: FIGURES BASED ON A TWELVE WEEK SEASON AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. MATERIALS:ie, CHALK,MARKING PAINT,FUEL,SAND,RESTROOM SUPPLIES,TRASH BAGS AND MINOR REPAIRS. $1200.00 UTILITIES: $2300.00 LABOR: BASED ON $10.00hr AVG. SALARY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE SUPERVISOR TIME. $4320.00 I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU ENOUGH INFORMATION TO RESPOND TO BVBA'S REQUEST. THE ADDED USE WILL NOT EFFECT OUR OPERATIONS NEGATIVELY EXCEPT THE ADDED STRAIN ON THE BUDGET. MY THOUGHT IS THE FIELDS ARE HERE TO USE AND THE OPTIMUN SKEDULING OF THIS LIMITED RESOURCE TO BENIFIT ALL CITIZENS SHOULD BE OUR GOAL. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION OR CLARIFICATION OF ANY OF THE POINTS MENTIONED ABOVE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. gam CC: CBINGHAM Cg C Parkview Drive 1111111HIIUHI111111116 ADD IIALK t1IIllllll� PAVILIDN, 9 L-F � PLAYtRO au / OCIST.
