CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by Chair Ron Gay at 7:08 p.m. II. OATH OF OFFICE: Nancy administered the oath of office to two existing members Ron Gay and Carol Reynolds, and one new member Debra Anderson. III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes were approved as submitted. IV. HEAR VISITORS: No unscheduled visitors were present. V. DISCUSSION OF LICK CREEK PARK CONCERNS: Chris Arterburn told the board that most of the visitors present were avid bike riders and were there to express their concern about some of the trails at Lick Creek Park. Mr. Arterburn presented pictures of some of the trails. Some of the pictures depicted trails that had some overgrowth blocking the trails, as well as some with erosion problems. He stated that he spoke with Curtis Bingham, Parks Operations Superintendent, several weeks prior to the meeting about a particular trail that Curtis told him was closed. Mr. Arterburn and other bikers had been using the trail because they didn't know the trail was closed, they thought it was just not being maintained. He would like to see new trails opened if existing trails are closed. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting July 11, 1995 Page (2) Jason Handy stated that he could get a group of volunteers to help create new trails so that the department would not have to use their manpower. He stated that a lot of these individuals are environmentalists and are concerned about preserving Lick Creek Park, so they would be careful in selecting proper ways to create new trails, so as to not damage the integrity of the park. Greg asked if any of the visitors present were members of an organized biking group. Mr. Handy said no, but stated that each bike store has a group of bikers that go out to Lick Creek Park several times a week to ride. He stated that Ryan Albert is a biker who is trying to develop Brazos Valley Mountain Bikers Association, which he believes has something to do with the A&M Cycling Club. Bobby Byeington stated that bikers like to bike on trails that have lots of turns, hills, dips, ravines, etc.; trails with a challenge. The rougher the road surface, the better. He stated that water crossings are good if bikers can see the bottom and they have a rocky bottom, not sandy or muddy. Wayne Bryan stated that a trail that is designed properly will last longer with proper drainage and erosion control in mind. David Scott is a hiker that uses Lick Creek Park and enjoys the solitude of the park. Mr. Scott advocates a minimum of development at the park. Sandra Shaull would like to see Lick Creek Park maintained as it is. She doesn't want to see a lot of development to occur there, destroying the natural ecosystem. She would like to see extensive planning done with various groups, environmentalists, bikers, hikers, etc., before any new trails are developed. She would like to see different trails for bikers and hikers. She, at times, feels like she may be run over by bikers who are using the same trials as she is. Ms. Shaull stated that she had been at Lick Creek Park recently when she came across some individuals who were cutting new trails. She stated that there are no signs out there to discourage this type of activity. She would also like to see periodic closings of trails in order to give them time to recuperate. Ron asked what guarantee the board had that bikers would not continue to do unauthorized cuttings of new trails at Lick Creek Park. Mr. Arterburn stated that when one joins a bike club, there are a set of rules they are asked to follow. These include issues such as not riding on trails that are extremely wet, and being courteous to other users of the trails. He stated that club members could sign an agreement, to abide by these rules, and present it to the board. Mike would like to see a focus group formed of various organizations to help with a plan for Lick Creek Park. Ron asked Steve where the park was in order of priority for the city. Steve stated that it is currently not a priority to City Council or staff. Other issues have been prioritized by Council. He also stated that no resources are dedicated to the sight other than minimum maintenance activities. There are no funds for ongoing maintenance of trails. He would like to see a master plan developed for the park that is approved by the Parks Board and by City Council. Mike stated that he would like approval from the board to form a group to help develop some new trails at Lick Creek Park. Steve stated that was fine, but that he would like to see a master plan developed before new trails are cut. Greg stated that a master plan is very complex and he believes beyond the means of a citizens' committee, but stated that a committee could develop a usage concept that could be used in the master plan. Mr. Scott stated that he believes there is more concern about a long term problem than a short term problem. Mr. Handy agreed, and stated that they would be satisfied with the maintenance of existing trails now. He is also interested in the integrity of the park and would like to see extensive research done before any new construction is allowed. Greg Schmidt would like to see the trails marked, some for biking and some for hiking. This would help with the issue of bikers coming up on hikers. Carol stated that this may not be enough because there may be users that do not fall into those two categories. John Manhart works at A&M teaching plant taxonomy and spends a lot of time in the park. He stated that he knows where most of the sensitive areas are in the park. Mr. Manhart stated that Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting July 11, 1995 Page (3) some of these plants don't exist year-round so people who are cutting new trails have no idea that they are disturbing these plant lives. He stated that if you fix the erosion problem by putting in a culvert, then you've taken away the technical aspect of the trail which is part of the reason that bikers use it. He stated that before fixing some of the erosion problems it must be studied thoroughly. Steve asked what other areas in the community were open to off-road biking. Mr. Arterburn stated Lake Somerville and Gibbons Creek were the only areas besides Lick Creek Park that they could use. Lake Bryan is planning some trails, but they don't currently exist. Greg moved that an ad hoc advisory committee, headed up by Mike and Carol, be developed to produce ideas for short-term solutions for the trails at Lick Creek Park. Bob seconded, the motion passed. VI. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF POLICY CONCERNING PARK NAMES: Bob worked with Steve to develop a policy for the naming of parks and recreation facilities, as well as guidelines for placing monuments, memorials, and exhibits on public land or in public facilities. These policies and guidelines were developed from existing policies utilized at the City of Bryan. Nancy stated that citizens don't always feel notified even when public hearings are published. She suggested the use of petition letters by the citizens initiating the request instead of public hearings. Mike motioned to adopt the policies, Carol seconded. Bob made a motion to amend number 1 of the Procedures by adding "upon presentation of a petition containing the signatures of 25 or more registered voters from the City of College Station". Greg made a motion to amend the Guidelines by striking number 11. Greg made a motion to amend number 6 of the procedures by adding "...will hold public hearing." There was no second, the amendment failed. The board approved the amendments. The board approved the policy and guidelines as amended. VII. REPORT ON SWIMMING POOL USE AND SCHEDULES: Steve informed the board that Vera was present to update them on the change of operation hours that was requested by the board at the beginning of the summer. Vera handed out a summary comparing the 1994 and 1995 attendance and revenues for the three pools. Vera stated that total attendance for the pools was down mainly due to the decrease in attendance at Thomas Pool, but total revenues were up. This was due partly because of the Junior Lifeguarding program. Last year there were 16 participants, this year the number reached 43 participants, with a registration fee of $43.00 each. She also stated that she greatly expanded the theme birthday parties: pirate, beach, general, etc., which have been extremely popular. They are booked almost every weekend, Friday-Sunday throughout the day. Mike asked why attendance was down at Thomas. Vera stated that users object to the hours. They would like to see the hours extended to later in the day but swimming lessons begin at 6:00 p.m. Vera stated that the lap swimming issue has worked itself out by offering an additional lap lane for adults to swim in. Vera stated that the reason revenues had increased even though attendance had decreased was because of the increase in season passes sold, as well as the increase in parties. Steve stated that the department had submitted a request to the City Council requesting that the three city pools operate in the summer while operatingthe Natatorium year-round. The school district has asked the city to operate the pool for them. They have agreed to pay the utilities, maintenance, supplies, etc., while the city provides the lifeguards and personnel to operate it. Swimming lessons would be conducted at the Natatorium, as well as being open to the general public. Nancy asked if there would be enough income to offset the cost of running the Natatorium. Steve stated that he believed there would be. The Natatorium is scheduled to be completed in October or November. Vera stated that users of Southwood Pool have objected to the hours. They would like for the pool to stay open later in the evening. Bob asked what it would take to leave the pool open later. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting July 11, 1995 Page (4) Vera stated that she would need additional funds to pay for staffing. However, this would eliminate the opportunity to rent the pool for private parties. VIII. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REPORT: Ric stated that the construction of the Wolf Pen Creek rest room building was complete. The Southwood Pool renovation contract was finally signed and the architect has begun testing the pool and its surroundings. The Sandstone Park project was bid out the previous week with low bid coming in at $195,003 by Marek Brothers. The department has already used $10,000 on grading at the park. The budget for the project was $250,000. The remainder of funds will be used for planting trees throughout the park. The Windwood Park area lights will be installed in July by city staff. The lights being used came from Oaks Park and will be refurbished before being erected. The Brothers Pond area light will be installed as soon as the light pole arrives. IX. OTHER BUSINESS/BOARD CONCERNS: Bob was approached by a little league representative and was asked why there were more soccer fields than little league fields. He stated that they counted all of the fields in the city that have a soccer goal. Bob explained the fact that a soccer goal does not necessarily represent a "game field", it could represent a practice field. Bob also stated that some residents are wanting to establish a Pony League and are requesting fields. This league includes 13 year olds and above. Bob told them they would need to bring a proposal to the board. Some discussion took place regarding whether the city should subsidize youth athletic programs when there is a need for more fields and more and more organizations are wanting to use the limited fields that the city has. Bob thinks that both soccer and little league should be paying for the use of the city's fields. Greg stated that he wants the board to recognize that there are organizations other than little league that are entitled to the use of athletic fields. Bob asked about the policy regarding donated parkland. Steve reminded the board that they agreed not to accept any donated land until the city's master plan was approved. Nancy mentioned that Brazos 20/20 Vision was going to have an open meeting at the Brazos Center the following Tuesday, August 18. Steve mentioned that the next meeting will include a barbecue and social. Past member George Dresser will be presented with an appreciation plaque for his service to the board. After further discussion and due to the lack of a possible quorum, the next meeting was moved back a week to August 15. Ron also mentioned that a board retreat with a park tour would be scheduled for a Saturday morning, possibly in September. He would like the City Council to be included in the tour and lunch, if possible. X. ADJOURN: Ron adjourned the meeting at 9:28 p.m. Sal.

"'•• P. 0. Box 1162 Somerville, TX 77879 July 11 , 1995 College Station Park & Recreation Dept. 1000 Krenek Tap Road College Station, Texas 77840 Dear Sir or Madam: I have been intending to write this letter of thanks to you for the concert held on Saturday evening, June 17, at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. That was one of the most memorable evenings I have spent since coming to the Brazos Valley in 1970. It was lovely meeting friends and ) neighbors of all ages and backgrounds for an evening of genuine, good, clean, wholesome entertainment and fun. It was truly an evening the whole family could enjoy, and we did. Our kids and even our older friends are still talking about how enjoyable the whole evening was. And that Jeff Fenholt! He was great. Congratulations College Station for bringing a person of such stature to our area! Thanks for getting the very best, and sharing him with the entire Brazos Valley. I realize that he has been in area churches, but we who attend church regularly at various other churches really appreciate the opportunity to hear him too. Thanks again for the wonderful evening. We are looking forward to more Christian concerts in the future under the evening stars, for an evening of family fun and refreshing. Sincerely, Joel E. Withem ................... ................................. .. :{fie •��',-,:.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION [ r =Yr post office Box 9980 1101 Texas Avenue College Station,Texas 77842-9960 (409)764-3500 August 1, 1995 Dexter I no ve as Carol Weldon Debbie Leland Kathy Hughes Dear Committee Members, Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Pebble Creek Park Development Committee. This is a unique opportunity to affect the development of a park that will serve both the new elementary school and the neighborhood. Funding for Pebble Creek Park was approved by the voters in the May 1995 bond election. The goal of the Parks and Recreation Department is to open the park in conjunction with the Pebble Creek Elementary School opening in the Fall of 1996. .._... The park's development will begin with your input as to the needs of the school and related amenities. other steps that follow will be staff review, public hearings, Parks and Recreation Board approval, City Council approval, design and construction. The initial meeting of Pebble Creek Design Committee will be August 23, 1995, at 3:30 p.m. in the Central Park Office. After a brief orientation we will tour other parks that serve a similar purpose and discuss possible amenities that might be included in the park design. Once again, I would like to thank you for your willingness to assist with this project and I look forward to meeting each of you. • Sincerely,.040,11, Eric Ploeger Assistant Director, Parks and Recreation Department Copies: Steve Beachy, Director of Parks and Recreation Danny Stribling, Director of Elementary Programs, CSISD Home of Texas A&M University :•«««.ti•«•.:titin s.ti:•:;is ..��=:= ..{ .•.ti•.% :tiff.... ......:........ ..................... iii. ............... ....: •r: ENNE lertri S•: i 000 San Benito Drive College Station,TX 77845 409 764-6110 W: (409) 847.9296 Hr [ � August 4, 1995 Mr. Steve Beachy,Director Parks and Recreation City of College Station, PO Box 9960 College Station,TX 77842 Dear Mr. Beachy: Thank you for your letter dated June 7 responding to our inquiry about inclusive playgrounds in our city of College Station.

Sincerely, cc:Mayor Ringer Parks and Recreation Board August 10, 1995 Brent and Michele Burton 4302 Collegew Main, #357 Bryan, TX, 77802 Dear Mr. and Ms. Burton, Thank you for attending the Parks Board meeting on July 11 and taking an interest in the Lick Creek Park trail system. It is good to see the park being used for various activities by concerned people such as yourself I want to inform you of the changes made to the Lick Creek trails since the Parks Board meeting. The trails were mowed and limbs were cut back along all but one of the original trails. Five "Trail Closed" signs were installed at the entrances to unauthorized trails, the Iron Bridge Trail and the Lady Tresses Trail. Also some of the cut vegetation was used to block off the entrances to some trails. A mixture of asphalt and dirt was used to fill in washed out areas in the parking lot and along the main trail/roadway to help ) prevent further erosion. Future trail clearing will be performed twice a year, in early fall and early spring. The Lady Tresses Trail has been removed from the Lick Creek Park map to prevent its future use and allow it to return to its natural state. The extension of Copperhead Cut Trail will be added to the map. The Iron Bridge Trail has been temporarily closed due to the poor condition of the bridge. Renovations to the bridge are being planned for this winter, but are dependent upon available funds. Enclosed is a map showing which trails have been closed and/or omitted and extended. Also enclosed is the updated Lick Creek Park map. Please contact me at 764- 3411 if you have any questions or concerns about the Lick Creek Park Trails.

This policy is not meant to be all- encompassing, but a helpful guide to make the process more fluid and practical. Each request has unique characteristics and must be addressed as such. This policy attempts to outline the minimum naming requirements as reflected by previous Parks and Recreation Advisory Board decisions and discussions. It may be necessary to supplement, as required, more detailed criteria for this process. Procedure 1. All requests for naming a park or facility are to be presented to the Parks and Recreation Department for consideration. For consideration, the requests are to be made by a group or civic organization upon presentation of a petition containing the signature of 25 or more registered voters from the City of College Station. Requests made by individuals will only be considered if the request satisfies Sections a-c of the policy guidelines. Parks do not need to be named after an individual. When named after an individual, the justification must be compelling. 2. The naming request for a recently deceased individual will have a sixty (60) day waiting period from the time of death before the request may be proposed for consideration, 3. The Parks and Recreation Department staff will review the requests for completeness before submitting the item for consideration by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. 4. The chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board shall appoint a subcommittee that will be responsible for evaluation of the naming request and subsequent recommendation to the full Advisory Board, 5. The subcommittee shall submit its recommendation in a formal written report prior to full review by the Advisory Board. 6. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, by simple majority, shall approve or disapprove the recommendations made by the subcommittee, 7. If the subcommittee's recommendation is for approval and it is disapproved by the full Advisory Board, the matter may then be referred back to the subcommittee for further action. 8. If the subcommittee's recommendation is for denial of the request, no further action is required by the Board. 9. If the proposed naming is approved by the Advisory Board, then the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration and final approval or disapproval. OA Group\Parks\80\naming\10-Aug-95 GUIDELINES Parks and facilities should be named in the following manner: 1. In honor of individuals who donate land for park space; Z In honor of individuals who sell open space to the City at a value considerably below market value; 3. In honor of individuals or organizations that contribute 50% or better of land and/or money for the park or facility; 4. In honor of national, state, and local heroes; 5. In honor of community leaders whose outstanding personal service has resulted in significant and enduring contributions to the community. Support for the proposed name should include endorsements by other groups, neighborhoods, or organizations. 6. In relation to the predominant geographical characteristics or physical features (lakes, rivers, streams, and trees) of the land; . 7. In relation to the subdivisions within the City where the site is located; /„. 8. In relation to streets adjacent to the park; ) 9. No park shall be given the same name as an existing school site or public facility, except where the sites abut one another. 10. No park or facility officially named for a particular individual will be changed. However, there may be a park or facility that has a common name with no official designation. In this instance the renaming of such properties is sometimes appropriate.

These repairs are intended to stop leaks in the pool shell and gutter system. The pool will also be brought up to current standards for depth markers and non-slip decking. The design work is expected to be complete for bidding in October with construction to soon follow. The goal for completion of repairs is late May, 1996. 2. Wolf Pen Creek Dredging: The dredging operation in Wolf Pen Lake began June 19, 1995. There have been a number of delays in the initial set-up of equipment, but these donot count against the days in the contract. The contract calls for forty days of dredging work. 3. Policy for Naming Parks Facilities: Bob DeOtte and myself met on Wednesday, July 5, and produced a proposed policy for naming parks facilities. The Bryan Parks and Recreation Policy for naming parks was utilized as the model and our policy closely relates to it. 4. Parks Board Appointments: Welcome to our newest Parks & Recreation Board member Debra Anderson, who was appointed by City Council to the Parks and Recreation Board on June 8, 1995.

Once again, Nikki Pederson, Area Director of Miss Texas USA and Miss Texas Teen USA pageants, has volunteered to assist with the fashion show.

Approximately 250 adults and 150 youth attended this annual celebration. Eugene-Eugene of Bryan provided the local entertainment. The guest speaker was Hugh McElroy, Associate Director of Human Resources, Texas A&M University. 7. Windwood Security Light: Installation of the Windwood Park security light should be completed by July 15. Presently the hole has been dug for the pole. The next step is placing in the steel and setting the forms for the concrete base. Then, the pole will be wired and installed. This is a somewhat slow process because the City inspectors must inspect each phase of the light installation. 8. Lick Creek Park: On June 15, two women were bird watching along the eastern section of Lick Creek Park when they came upon a group of people who were cutting and clearing out vegetation for a mountain bike trail. The two women confronted the group and told them they were going to call the police. The following day the two women and a police officer looked at the section that had been cut down. Officer Bain wrote up a report for criminal mischief. That same day 1 received a call from Chris Arterburn requesting permission to cut mountain bike trails in Lick Creek Park. I denied the request, and informed Mr. Arterburn that he could request this through the Parks and Recreation Board. After the conversation I found out about the criminal mischief at Lick Creek and informed the Police Department about the phone call. Mr. Arterburn was contacted by the Police Department and confessed that he was one of the people cutting the trail. The Police Department suggested that Mr. Arterburn call the Parks Department and try to work something out concerning the damage. Curtis Bingham, Parks Operations Superintendent, met Mr. Arterburn at the damaged site and they agreed that Mr. Arterburn would use the brush and cut limbs to block the newly cut trail to make it inaccessible.
