1. Call to order. Jodi W. called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m.
2. Possible action and pardon concerning requests for absences of
members. Requests for absence had been submitted by Gary Erwin and
Glenn Schroeder. John C. moved to approve the requests submitted.
Jeannie M. seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried
unanimously.
3. Hear visitors. Hearing none this item was closed.
4. Consideration, possible action, and discussion of minutes from the
regular meeting of March 21, 2006. Kathleen I. moved approval of the
meeting minutes as presented. John C. seconded the motion. The vote was
called and the minutes were unanimously approved.
5. Revisit, possible action, and discussion regarding a potential park land
dedication « Carter Creek Crossing (formerly the Foitik tract) in Park
Zone 4. A conceptual development plan had gone before the Board on
September 21, 2005 and the board had accepted a three acre dedication of
utility right-of-way/easement. The property is located between the Raintree
and Emerald Forest Subdivisions and is directly across from Central Park on the
east side of Highway 6 at the corner of North Forest Parkway. There is a
drainage/greenway, which at the time, the developer had indicated might
become a homeowner's association park. A new plan was being presented
Page 1 of 5
which calls for a different dedication including the original three acres that were
accepted, bringing the total to 7.34 acres including the greenway and drainage.
This will not only give more acreage but very good street access as well. In
studying the floodplain there were areas where amenities could be installed
such as a playground, etc. Staff was recommending acceptance of the land.
The developer may be interested in the option of developing this park
themselves. The Board could accept the property and the developer could put
in the amenities, in lieu of the development fee. There would be no detention
pond area in the park because it is so close to Carter Creek drainage basin.
D.R. Horton would be interested in putting in picnic tables, a gazebo or two,
and playground equipment. The Board would review and approve the design.
This would be a phased development of 142 lots for regular homes. John C.
moved approval as presented and Kathleen I seconded. The vote was called.
All were in favor motion and the motion carried unanimously.
Steve suggested that, with the Board's approval, item 10 be shifted up
to become item 5a. The Board consented.
5.a. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding status of
Lincoln Center Advisory Committee ,.► David Gerlinq. At the April meeting
the Board had asked that the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee Chair and the
Center Supervisor come before the Board to discuss the status of their Advisory
Committee. The Board had not wanted to take action on the matter of
dissolving the committee without knowing where the two stood. The idea of
having a "Friends of Lincoln Center" group if the committee was dissolved had
also been discussed. Lance stated that he and Ms. Thomason had discussed
the issues, as well as the possibility of becoming a part of the Lincoln Former
Students' Association, but wanted to see what direction the Board wanted to
take. He added that over the years the Center had had some success working
through the advisory committee.
Kristianna T. stated that as the chair she felt responsible that the committee
had stopped meeting the way they should. The committee was useful when
they met and she did not want to see it dissolved, because she felt that they
were a voice for the community. She asked for the opportunity to reorganize
and get back on a regular schedule for meeting.
Kristianna was reassured that the concern, from the Board's perspective, had
been that the committee was not meeting due to the lack of a quorum and
were, therefore, unable to provide feedback. The suggestion to create a
"Friends" group was the Board's way of hoping to streamline the process so
that feedback could be provided.
The committee had two members that would be moving out of the community.
It was suggested that the number of committee members may need changing
in order to meet quorum needs. Goals would also need to be set. Kristianna
stated that she would like to have a workshop and have someone help them
facilitate their goals. John C. stated that he would arrange for someone to
facilitate that.
Jodi stated that the board valued the committee's input and asked that they
meet within the month to see what they would like to do. The board wanted to
help them achieve their goals and would wait for a report back from the
committee. No action was required.
6. Community Index Report, possible action, discussion N Kendall
Hodges, Parks Department Intern. Kendall said she had been working for
the last few months to put together a list of all the programs there were
available in the public and private sector in the Bryan College Station area
(attached). When the Program and Facility Needs Assessment had been
conducted, it provided input as to what citizens wanted to see offered. This
index report showed that. In doing the research she found that there were
holes in activities offered for the preschool and seniors age groups. The index
lists the primary service providers. One of her recommendations was to offer a
few more programs to the preschool age group along line of arts and crafts
(not sports), as well as additional programs specific to the senior age group.
Gary T. asked if such things as chess clubs and ham radio operating clubs were
beyond the scope of what she was looking for. She stated that no, they were
not - she had just been unable to find anything like that. Jodi also suggested
several organizations that offered classes for preschool aged children. Kendall
said she appreciated the suggestions.
Steve B. stated that he would like to take this to the next level and put the
information into a database with names and phone numbers that front line
people could refer to when calls were received. The department had never had
such a comprehensive list. Putting the information on the city's website or on
back page of the Parks calendar would also be helpful. The benefit of having
the index would also allow the department to find a ready source of instructors
for classes. It was a requirement of the NRPA accreditation process that the
department have this index.
Jodi told Kendall she had done a great job. John C. moved to accept the
Community Index Report. Kathleen seconded the motion and the vote was
called. All in were in favor and motion carried unanimously.
7. Review, possible action, and discussion regarding draft of
Neighborhood Park Improvement Standards for Park Development in
Lieu of Fee r.► Eric Ploeger. In December the Park Land Dedication
Ordinance had been updated and part of that update allows developers to
provide for the development of parks. A list of items (referenced to as a
manual in the ordinance) had been included in the members' packets that
would be provided to developers. Legal felt that it was best if the list was not
part of the ordinance so that the board could change the manual when
necessary without getting Council approval every time.
Staff had not been able to find where the manual had previously been brought
to the board for approval. It had been updated and will provide developers
with information on site plan development, park furnishings, construction
documents, project acceptance procedures, warranty requirements, and a list
of the products that department likes to use.
Kathleen I. moved acceptance of the Neighborhood Park Improvement
Standards Manual. Jeannie M. seconded. The vote was called. All were in
favor and the motion to approve the manual was unanimous. The date
approved would be added and whenever there is an update, the manual will be
brought back before the board.
8. Report, possible action, and discussion regarding List of Potential
Parkland Dedication Fund Projects ,.► Eric Ploeger. Staff had reviewed
the available money in each park zone fund and Ric and Steve had gone
through and come up with some suggestions of dedication projects that could
be done. The resulting list had been included in the members' board packets.
Ric explained that not every suggestion spends every dollar in every fund, but
it commits the funds. As more developments are built, more money will go
into the funds and there will be more projects that can be done. Ric briefly
went through the list, which included a site plan for each park listed. Funding
was discretionary and subject to change. Ric said that the list would be turned
in the following week with the Capital Improvement Projects budget and would
become a part of that budget. Jodi thanked Ric for the update.
9. Consideration, possible action, and discussion regarding the potential
of hosting a Texas State Park forum ,.► Steve Beachv. Steve asked
John C. to give an update. John C. said that the City would probably not need
to do anything at this point. There was now enough momentum for state parks
going around the state, that something positive would take place in the State
Legislature for state parks, whose funds had been cut drastically. The grants
program which the city has taken advantage of in the past was one of the
items that had been cut. The new bill would bring that grant money back. This
was an informational item and no action was required.
10. This item was moved up, to become item 5a.
11. Recommendation, possible action, and discussion from the Naming
Subcommittee on the naming request submitted by College Station
Little League in March N Kathleen Ireland/Carol Blaschke. Kathleen I.
gave an update on the subcommittee's recommendation to accept the Little
League organization's request to name field #3 at the Southwood Valley Little
League fields after city employee Gary Marske, who would be retiring soon.
John C. moved acceptance of the subcommittee's recommendation and
Harry G. seconded. The vote was called. All were in favor and the motion
passed unanimously.
12. Review, possible action, and discussion concerning Board and
Departmental Goals and Objectives, and City Council Strategic Plan.
Updated lists had been included in the members' packets.
• Steve stated that the new City Manager was asking all city department
heads to go on a retreat and there would be more information on the city's
strategic plan after that retreat.
• The department had turned in its' five year strategic plan.
13. Report, possible action, and discussion concerning the Capital
Improvement Program: Updated information had been included in
members' packets.
• Park Land Dedication Project List and proposed projects
• Current Capital Improvement Project List
• Veterans Park & Athletic Complex N This project was making great
headway. The contractor's intent was to plant grass on all six fields by June
1st. They were working seven days a week and proceeding at a very
significant rate.
• The resident's who had attended the Edelweiss Gartens public hearing had
expressed a desire to rank the amenities that will go into that park. Some
ballots had already been returned and staff was hoping to get more. The
turnout at the public hearing had been good. Ric stated that he was
noticing more and more that parks were becoming more important to
residents.
Kathleen suggested that she thought the intent of the residents who had
attended the public hearing was for all of the people in the subdivision to
receive the ballot so that those who did not attend could participate in the
ranking. Ric said that this could be done.
14. Discussion of calendar, future meeting dates, and possible agenda
items:
• April 22, 2006 '' "Trails Go!" Dedication Ceremony for Wolf Pen Creek
Upper Trails at 10:00 a.m. Earth Day at the amphitheater that same day
and that night Trout Fishing in America. Will be an all day long event.
• April 28, 2006 N Noon Arbor Day Celebration at Jack and Dorothy Miller
Park basketball pavilion
• May 9, 2006 N Next Regular Meeting
• Second Edelweiss Gartens Public Hearing date '' to be announced
• Future agenda item requests N One of the members asked that staff bring
something to a future meeting regarding the 65 acres that were attached
to Lick Creek Park to see how that ties into Lick Creek Park.
15. Adiourn. Kathleen I. moved to adjourn. Jeannie M. seconded the motion.
All were in favor and the meeting adjourned at 8:52 p.m.

10-F. 2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area
development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety, and minimize

(a) Where physically feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to greenways and/or schools
in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co -development of new sites.

(b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access
to the park from other area subdivisions. Street and greenway connections to existing or
future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks.

1. Call to order. The meeting was called to order by Jodi Warner at 12:10 p.m.
2. Pardon and possible action concerning requests for absences of members.
Four members had turned in requests for absence - Glenn Schroeder, Kathleen Ireland,
Carol Blaschke, and Harry Green.
3. Site visit, discussion, and possible action regarding potential Park Land
Dedication request for the Fojtik Subdivision N Park Zone 4 (North Forest
Drive). Discussion took place regarding the proposed dedication. The subject was
raised about the size of the dedication from a maintenance standpoint. Staff stated
that if the land dedication was not accepted, there would be areas in the city that were
underserved as far as parks were concerned, which would also mean that there would
be small parks that would be over -utilized. As far as maintenance was concerned, size
was not really an issue. If the dedication (park) was larger then it would require more
maintenance.
The comment was made that if all of the small park land dedications were turned down,
in twenty years people would be complaining that there weren't enough parks. One of
the members added that the number one complaint in their neighborhood was that
there was no place for children to play.
Gary E. made a recommendation to accept the land that was offered in the conceptual
plan. Jeannie M. seconded the motion and the vote was called. All were in favor and
the motion passed unanimously (5-0). A site visit was not made.
4. Adjourn. A motion to adjourn was made by Gary T. and John C. seconded. The vote
was called and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 1:15 p.m.
The building is wheelchair accessible. Handicap parking spaces are available. Any request for sign interpretive services must
be made 48 hours before the meeting. To make arrangements call (979) 764-3517 or (TDD) 1-800-735-2989.

Introduction
In February 2006, a Community Index Study was conducted, in which research was
conducted to find all the opportunities within the College Station/Bryan area for leisure and
recreation. This study explored both public and private enterprises and researched opportunities
for all ages, including preschool, youth, adults, and seniors. The Community Index will allow
more effective evaluation of the programs and services offered in the College Station/Bryan area.
Methods of Evaluation
After initial research was conducted, the programs offered were evaluated in three
different categories: primary function, scope of opportunity and leadership. Primary function
evaluates the purpose of the program or opportunity, and whether it provides physical,
educational, social, and/or creative opportunities. Physical opportunities are those in which the
primary focus is sports, athletics or an opportunity which enhances health through physical
activity. Educational opportunities include those in which there are learning opportunities
academically or ones which aid in continuing education. Social opportunities are those in which
the environment fosters possibilities for friendship and community. Lastly, creative opportunities
focus on developing artistic skills as well as creative thinking. Scope of opportunity evaluates the
recreation/leisure opportunity in skill development, physical development, relaxation, cultural,
clubs and tournaments. Skill development is any program or leisure opportunity that encourages
development of a particular skill or ability. Physical development focuses on enhancing health
through sports and athletics. Cultural development is provided when a class or program offers
greater awareness and education in other cultures. Clubs and tournaments are made available
particularly in those opportunities which encourage competition, as well as a more regular
meeting schedule. The leadership category describes the facilitation of the program in terms of
general supervision, directed leadership, self directed, facilitated programs, and
programs/services for fees. General supervision is exhibited when there is no direct instruction
2
from an employee of the organization, but rather an individual to oversee the program. Directed
leadership is when a staff member provides leadership (or instruction) to the customer in a direct
face to face or in a direct manner (e.g., personal trainer). Self directed programs are those in
which no direct leadership exists and the customer participates in the program or leisure
opportunity on his/her own and without direct supervision. Facilitated programs can best be
described as an aerobics class, in which there is intensive programming and facilitation
throughout the entirety of the opportunity. Programs/services for fees are used, for example,
when an individual desires to rent equipment for recreational purposes. The service provider is
the organization which provides the program or opportunity.
Methodology
For this study, research was conducted primarily using the Internet. When contacted by
telephone, agencies would recommend viewing their website, as it would provide information
regarding programs. The majority of agencies evaluated listed their programs and classes on the
website to ensure easy access.
Summary of Findings
After the research phase of the study was concluded, it was found that the preschool
programs offered within the community primarily involve sports, therefore offering the primary
function of physical development. They also provide social opportunities, skill development, and
are generally facilitated programs with directed leadership. There is little opportunity for
creativity, cultural development as well as education for preschoolers. The number of programs
offered to this age group are also limited as well as the variety from which to choose.
The youth programs/services in the community are also primarily involving physical
development. Although there are great opportunities for physical development and skill
development, opportunities are lacking for cultural development and relaxation. There are more
3
diverse opportunities offered for youth than the preschool age group, but there are still few
options for creativity and self directed programs. There are only a few programs offered for youth
in which the primary function is not physical. The primary leadership for youth is directed
leadership and facilitated programs. More programs are needed to provide opportunities for
education and social development.
It was found that there are numerous programs /services for the adult age group, which
involve a wide scope of opportunity as well a variety of functions. The programs offered include
classes in sports, languages, dance, crafts, culinary, fine arts, gardening, and health education.
The majority of these programs are facilitated, but there are also programs that involve self
directed leadership. Although there are opportunities for skill development, physical
development, relaxation and cultural awareness, there are few opportunities for clubs and
tournaments.
Only a small number of service providers in the College Station/Bryan area offer
programs for seniors. The sports programs offered are primarily for physical development and
are facilitated programs. The other scopes of opportunity are limited in this category. There are
other program opportunities for gaming, which provide social opportunities. There are also
programs for education in technology. Programming is lacking in the areas of cultural
development and creativity.
Finally, there are service providers that cater to all ages and provide self -directed or
general supervision types of leadership. These service providers vary in their primary function
and offer a wide range of opportunities. However, cultural development is lacking in the
programming for all ages.
Recommendations
The research conducted has led to recommendations for the Cities of College Station
and Bryan. There should be one central agency residents and visitors can contact for information
regarding recreation and programs within the community. This agency would have the list of
4
service providers in the community which offer programming related to parks and recreation and
would help direct residents to the organization that would best meet their needs. The services
and contact information for each service provider would be available through this organization.
This agency would be beneficial to the community because individuals seeking a specific service
would be given recommendations without having to research each program on their own. They
are more likely to participate in a class or program if it is easy to find and the information is readily
available.
A greater variety of programs should be offered for the preschool and youth age group.
The programs offered for these groups are primarily physical in nature, and therefore exclude
individuals who are less inclined to participate in sports or physical activity. Programs that involve
creativity, arts, crafts and culture should be created to service these age groups. Also, more
programs for senior citizens should be created. Although there are a variety of programs from
which seniors may choose, they are few in number. More programs involving education in
technology would be beneficial for seniors.

John Crompton Park
Concerned Public to the Rescue of Texas State Parks
Register for April 7th Texas State Parks Funding Forum
On Friday, April 7, 2006, the Houston Regional Group/Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club and
the Texas Coalition for Conservation in cooperation with the University of Houston -Downtown are
co -hosting a forum on the issue of chronic underfunding of the Texas state parks and possible
long-term funding options. Its purpose is to give people the information they need to be effective
advocates for our state park system.
In addition to explaining the current financial and political situation facing the Texas state parks, the
forum will go beyond the Texas experience. The state park systems of Arkansas and Florida went
through tough times, just as in Texas. Speakers from Arkansas and Florida will tell us how they
solved their funding problems and how they gained the support of their state officials and voters to
implement long-term funding solutions.
The forum begins at 8:45 AM at the Wilhemina Cullen Robertson Auditorium and ends at 3:45 PM.
Registration check -in will begin at 8:00 AM. The cost of the forum is $28 and includes continental
breakfast, lunch, and snack and an information book. People can continue the conversation at a
reception after the forum.
Our confirmed speakers and topics include:
Joe Turner, Director, Houston Parks & Recreation Department
Welcome & Opening Remarks:
Why a City Parks Director Cares About State Park Funding
Dr. John Crompton, Distinguished Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism
Sciences, Texas A & M University
Economic Contributions of State Parks
Walter D. Dabney, State Parks Director, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department
The State of the Texas State Parks
Todd Kercheval, Chief of Staff, House Committee on Culture, Recreation, & Tourism,
State Representative Harvey Hilderbran (Chairman)
What the Texas Legislature Can Do
Richard Davies, Executive Director of the Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism
The Arkansas Turnaround
Steve Dana, Budget Manager, Division of Recreation & Parks,
Florida Department of Environmental Protection
The Forever Florida Solution
George Bristol, President, Texas Coalition for Conservation
State Funding of Parks
Ken Kramer, Director of the Lone Star Chapter Sierra Club
Panelist
There will be two panel discussions:
The Pros & Cons of the Arkansas & Florida Solutions in Texas and
Telling the Parks Funding Story to the People & the Legislature
If you care about the Texas state parks, you should be at this forum. Send your $28 registration to:
Houston Sierra Club, P.O. Box 3021; Houston, TX 77253-3021. Registration should be received
no later than March 31, 2006. Confirmation and directions will be sent by e-mail. Please contact

Dear Edelweiss Gartens Resident:
Thank you for your interest in the development of Edelweiss Gartens Park. Input from the
residents who will make use of the park's amenities is pertinent to the development of a
site plan that will maximize the utilization of this important neighborhood park.
Included with this letter is a list of potential amenities normally found in College Station
neighborhood parks. Please take a moment and prioritize the list, with number one being
the amenity that is most important to you. Once a site plan has been developed, the
input received will allow staff to begin construction on those items that are ranked as
being the most important by you and the residents of your neighborhood.
A self-addressed, stamped envelope has also been included in this packet in order for you
to return the list. Please have the envelope postmarked no later than April 21, 2006, in
order for your priorities to be counted.
Staff is in the process of developing a proposed site plan that will be presented to the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board during one of their regular meetings. This will be a
public hearing and staff will notify interested parties by mail and with similar notices used
for the first public hearing.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Dear College Station Parks Board Member,
I would like to invite you, your family and friends to join Keep Brazos Beautiful
at the upcoming Regional Texas Arbor Day Celebration, where we will be
honoring the donations made to our Memorial TREES Program in honor,
memory, and special recognition of local community members.
This regional celebration will take place on Friday, April 28th starting at 12:00
noon at Jack and Dorthy Miller Park 501 Rock Prairie Rd in College
Station. The event will take place at the parks covered pavilion adjacent to
Rock Prairie Elementary School. Parking will be available on the north side of
the park on Edelweiss Ave. (please see enclosed map for details)
Local KBTX-TV's Chief Meteorologist Bob French will act as our Master of
Ceremonies during the Arbor Day celebration. The celebration will include the
presentation of a joint Arbor Day Proclamation from the Cities of Bryan and
College Station. The Texas Forest Service will present the City of Bryan and
College Station's Parks Departments with their Tree City USA designation and
flags, in recognition of their commitment to outstanding comprehensive urban
and community tree programs. Rock Prairie Elementary School students will be
in attendance and participate in the program, lead the pledge, sing, and read
poetry. The ceremony will culminate with reciting of the names of all the 2005
Memorial TREE donors and honorees and a ceremonial tree planting and photo
opportunity following the days activities.
We hope you can attend this year's event to help us celebrate trees in our
community and the valuable contribution they make to all our lives. In these
troubled times, it is fitting to remember that the planting of trees has always
symbolized peace, life, growth and our hope for the future.
Please RSVP to let us know if you and any guests will be able to attend. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 979-776-6227.
