Box 9960 1000 Krenek Tap College Station, TX 77842 Dear Mr. Beachy: On behalf of the Eisenhower Leadership Development Program I want to thank you for participating in this semester's program. The project for the City of College Station was an interesting one for the students to work on and provided them an opportunity to develop their research and analytical capabilities, hone their writing and presentation skills, and learn to work in a group setting, among many other things. The project made it so that functioning as part of a group was not just an academic exercise but rather one in which the group was working on a real problem for a real client. We appreciate your giving of your time and attention to the project and to the students. Students learn as much from their contact with leaders like you as they do from the projects themselves. Thanks again for helping make Eisenhower a worthwhile program. We look forward to continuing to work with you as the next Eisenhower group takes on the completion of this project. We are always interested in improving the program, and if you have time, would appreciate a letter giving us feedback on your experience with the students and the program. Sincerely, I .

As with cities throughout the United States, College Station is dealing with difficult issues in increased demands for services and increasing costs fueled by growth. In addition, the city desires to reduce the property tax on its citizens. As a result of these pressures, the city must ex ° e all opportunities for enhanced revenues or new revenue sources to avoid reducing valuable City service levels. Accordingly, College Station engaged DMG- S, INC. (DMG) to conduct a Cost of Services Study to review the City's Parks and Recreation Department current costs and policies related to the recovery of fees for se aces. This Executive Su ary provides a su = ary of DMG 41 S' findings and potential revenue increases resulting from this study. User Fee Study The costs of many Parks se aces currently provided by the City either are or could be recovered from user fees. Revenues from user fees can be an appropriate means of achie g revenue enhancement for local Bove ent. Many times one or more of the folio =g conditions exist before a full cost user fee study is undertaken in a city: Current user fees are set far below the actual cost of providing the se aces. > No fees are being charged for se aces that could generate revenue. > Current fee structure and policy have not been set with full knowledge of the relationship between the value of a se ace and the =ount of a fee. Providing certain public se aces at cost can have numerous benefits to the City and its citizens: •- > All se ace users,.including thoseexemptfrom property taxes, pay user fees. > Non-residents, reducing the burden on City residents, pay user fees. > User fees create a "rationing" of se aces and allow for the measurement of 4.4, • - d and - It is for these reasons that local gove ents all over the United States are shifting from a near-total dependence on property, sales, and income taxes for financing local services to a more broad-based revenue stream. Although there may be political reaction to increasing fees for services that were previously free or heavily subsidized, local governments are becoming aware that user charges can be a more acceptable-method of . raising revenue than an increase in taxes. Cost of Services Study for the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department C DMG-MAXLVIUS, INC. 2001 Page 1 Summary The User Fee Study presents the results of a DMG- A41 S analysis of the full cost of services provided by the City of College Station, Texas, Parks and Recreation Department, for which user fees are being charged or might be considered. By calculating the full costs of these services, including an appropriate share of Citywide and departmental indirect cost, and comparing that cost to the associated revenues received, DMG. A41 S has been able to dete *ne the amount of cpst subsidy being drawn from general tax dollars in these areas. The objective of the Study was to provide cost data to be used as a basis for establishing or changing user fees. The full cost of delivering se *ces includes direct labor costs, other direct operating and maintenance costs, departmental supe sion costs, and cit de indirect costs. The study indicates that the full cost of fee related se ces are $2,857,559 and that $839,612 is being recovered in revenue. The subsidy currently required to support these services is, therefore, $2,017,947 as illustrated in the following graph: Cost vs Revenue • $8396127406111111YAbi:sil-4„..,,, AigininEM.triffe/Avtot-'4,, aiaininfdSS:EM frAfilinr,74. jf „aiEriEREEME Vire,Open40;;;,,, OTotal Cost ra,33371:v7.4:41,E2NEW,00,,g:::::Egit:0:E§:0322.013::;;Mii Revenue WSIENSIV/Agig.-Sfitiatigagrar - -• . • . $2,857,559 • In comparison to other DMG- 41 S municipal clients, the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department's subsidy levels are comparable. However, DMG- 41 S has identified potential areas for cost recovery to increase the charges for services, therefore increasing revenues for the City. The larger subsidy areas, in some cases, are for fee areas where the City has made a policy decision not to pursue full cost recovery. Typically, Parks and Recreation Departments subsidize certain activities (usually youth activities) while attempting to recover full costs for adult programs.

The ount of full cost involved for these activities totals $484,656, and includes Soccer, Cemetery, and Little League. Although the cemetery collects revenues that are in a separate find, the Parks and Recreation Department receives no revenues for the services provided.

Costs of services were not limited to direct departmental charges, but rather based on an analysis of the comprehensive costs incurred by the City in providing services. Total costs include allocation of the ad *$.strative and central support activities and other costs not traditionally assigned to departmental budgets such as building depreciation or use costs. The emphasis of this project was to comprehensively determine the costs of se *ces and match these se *ces to funding sources. Indirect Cost Plan Approach and Methodology The Ci *de ad *strative indirect cost used for this engagement is provided by the FullCost Central Se *ces Cost Allocation Plan prepared by DMG- 5, INC, based on budget data for fiscal year ending September 30, 2000. This approach is consistently applied for all City departments and se *ices, regardless of funding source and allocates costs to departments based on an objective statistic that reflects or correlates to the use of the ad *Ara-five se *ices provided. User Fee Study Approach and Methodology The primary purpose of the User Fee Study is to document the full cost of providing Parks and Recreation services for which ser fees are assessed or could be assessed reasonably. This work will allow the City to make a dete iatiôn of the level of tax subsidy it wants to m. t • 'as a,matter of public policy in an enviro ent where the full and actual cost of doing business is kno Fee levels then become a true measure of the City's intentions -'and not s* ply-a combination of historical or inconsistently applied ountS. --* •- _ _ * ong the tools that DMG- 41 S uses in all of its studies are the p ciples of _ governmental cost accoupting.

Youth Activities The Youth Flag Football Program provides a positive experience in team sports for boys and girls and teaches them the basic skills of football. The program is open to males and females age 7 to 12 (Grade 1 through 6). The participants play in 8 games per season on either Monday or Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday, as well as Saturday morning. Each player receives a T-shirt and a trophy. Participation for this program is identified as individual participants. Fees for youth flag football are established on a sliding scale, a f *y with one child would pay $35, while a second child would be an additional $25, and a third child would be an additional $15. The Youth Basketball Program provides a positive experience in team sports for boys and girls and teaches them the basic skills of basketball. The program is open to males and females between the ages of 5 and 14 (grades kindergarten through 8th).

Rentals Pavilion Rentals provide attractiife, well-maintained outdoor covered facilities for the use of local residents and businesses for private gatherings (company parties, birthday parties, wedding reaeptions, family reunions, etc.). Pavilions range in size, accommodating anywhere from 30 to 300 people. All offer picnic tables and barbecue pits. Some also include rest rooms, full-size kitchens, exclusive use of-playground equipment, volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits. Ball field rentals allow citizens to access softball fields for practice and tournaments. The individual or individuals in charge of a tournament must meet with representatives of Cost of Services Study for the City of College Station Parks.and Recreation Department C D.VIG-IVAXLWVS,INC. 2001 Page 12 the Athletic and Park Operations staff before the tournament to arrange any tournament and maintenance details. Pool rentals provide children with a positive, aquatic birthday experience and parents with an alternative site for birthday parties.

Recreation Centers The College Station Conference Center is a facility that is available to a broad spectrum of groups with no one group or type being allowed to dominate the Center. Preference is Cost of Services Study for the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department C IG-MAXLVIUS,INC. 2001 Page 13 shown for groups who do not operate on a permanent basis, and would not, therefore, tend to have a facility of their own in which to operate. The Conference Center has public meeting rooms, a kitchen, deck, patios, audio/visual equipment and other amenities. The Teen Center provides the youth of College Station a place of their own. It provides educational and recreational opportunities to the youth of College Station. The facility consists of two rooms *th internet-capable computers, g e room, dance floor, sound and light system and a snack bar. The Lincoln Center provides many se ces to the citizens of College Station, including acting as a hub for the Boys and Girls Club, as well as hosting various activities for seniors. The Lincoln Center houses a computer center, and a full size basketball court and provides many educational and recreational opportunities.

The Conference Center is utilized, for the most part, by adults, and therefore would be subject to the • policies associAtcd,vith Adult-Activities. If a 50% collection rate were utilized, the City would stand to gain approximately $35,000 . ugly in revenue. It is the opinion of DMG- 41 5, INC., that arificrease in fees at the Teen and Lincoln Centers would possible decrease attendance, and would not be a significant benefit to the City. _ - F. Other Activities The City of College Station operates the Wolf Pen Creek phitheater, which hosts a • variety of entertainment events throughout the season targeted to all ages and interests. The full cost of maintaining this facility can be found in the table below. Cost of Services Study for the Civ of College Station Parks and Recreation Department C DA/1G- ,INC. 2001 Page 14 The City of College Station operates and enterprise fund for the Parks and Recreation Extra Education Program. All enterprise funds are required to collect between 80 and 100% of all costs according to the city's financial policies. Currently, the Extra Education program recovers only approximately 91.24%, and is therefore meeting the policy as written in the budget document. This is illustrated in the table below. The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the maintenance of the City of College Station Cemetery. Plots are purchased through the City Secretary's Office. The table below illustrates the full cost of m t g the cemetery.—Although the City may consider the implementation of a perpetual care fund, this would fall beyond the scope of this study. DMG-- 11 S has identified the costs of operating and maintai g the Cemetery in the table below. The Parks and Recreation Department allows other org * ations to utilize the facilities at no cost to participants.

BENEFITS A"ND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Benefits of Indirect Cost There are several benefits that the City ill derive from the cost allocation plans that adequately and consistently document istratie indirect costs.

Benefits of User Fee Study The User Fee Study will provide the Cityt ever benefits including a knowledge of t ti s r e r e .increasedraven Tcuhrr frmo existingfeeareas, re e e areas andstaff : . info _.:ti . The study can be used as basis for it� resource tii ,ti Pricing Approaches ebasic t o e e serfees t e ice r e or d e or group shouldt be paid from generaltaxes, that se services provided to -res e is should not be paid general s, and that beneficiaries e `ac- should pay for thee ice. Keepingthese theories ® * , -fees is essentially equivalent to establishing aces for se ices. In the ..,,i to sector, ices e usually set hi. a m er • that is expected to ..x®^x *ze profits. Since m.k s j;g a profit is not an objectivethe City in providings *cs, it is cok g x onlyfelt,,that fees should be establishedat level that will recover thecost of r ac se gce. However, there are c .st es ..t which it Paght e regarded reasonable ®c to set fees at a level that does not reflect the full cost of providing the se y f ce. Cost does not necess ly equal rice. r .. • • _. .a Therefore, itis-Wortant to isc ss some of the r _aim.'cations these o -c st factors so th 1 at t e role:of t e cost res d e lacero er ers ctive. �. t Demand-Oriented The price charged for a service affects the quantitydemanded In many instances, raising the price of a service v ice results in fewer units of service being demanded. And, the volume of that service v °ce produced affects the unit cost of a service. Cost of Services Study for the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department ©DAG A '. 1 S,INC 2001 Page 16 This poses a special problem for the City when attempting to set fees on a basis that will recover the full cost of providing the services. As noted above, the unit cost of a service may rise or fall depending on the volume produced, and that volume may depend on the volume demanded, which, in turn, may depend on the fee charged. Fees charged for recreational services provide a good example of this concept. Quite reasonably, children, senior citizens and others with limited means may discontinue using a recreational facility if fees are raised significantly. They may regard the services as desirable, but not essential, and find other means of recreation. The resulting decrease in volume would then increase the unit cost, a situation that would require additional fee increases. Some servicesfees, however, probably will not be responsive to volume demand because the services a be used regardless of the fees charged. Society Oriented User fees are often established on a principle that requires those who use the se ace to bear the cost of producing it. Although this p "pie is y established in the private enterprise system, there may be City activities for which it is regarded as inappropriate. Accordingly, it may be preferable to set fees for some se vices below full cost. Consequently, the r n1ications of a subsidization policy should be fully understood. Subsidies are provided for two basic purposes. The first is to pei t an identified group (e.g., senior citizens, students, public assistance recipients) to participate in se aces that they aght not othe_ ase be able to afford. This is a legitimate function of gove ent, assu g all citizens' access to important se aces without regard to their ability to pay. e such subsidies could be granted on the basis of a means test (not all senior citizens are econo *catty deprived), ease of ad astration and concern for dignity often suggest offering particular subsidies to broad groups that may include many who are able to afford the full cost of the se ace. Such.subsidies may be achieved either through rate structures (i.e., charging lower fees to cert.* groups for co on se ace) or through reducing fees for se aces most likely to be utilized by particular groups. • s ‘ir • • The second—parTib'se of subsidies is to provide services that may benefit those not qualifying as * I ediate recipients. For ex pie, code enforcement inspections ensure compliance with City zo ,g.'ordinances. Ordinances are designated to safeguard _ co unities from deteriorating properties, which ultimately pact the homeowner by lowering property values and caus® possible health and safety problems. In this case and similar cases, it may be regarded as appropriate to spread the cost of se aces over the large base of potential beneficiaries. Economic Incentives Cost of Services Study for the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department C DMG-MAXIIvIUS,INC 2001 Page 17 It may be desirable to use fees as a means of encouraging certain activities or patterns of use. For example, setting a relatively high fee for scarce resources such as water may encourage conservation. Inexpensive products or services, on the other hand, often encourage waste. There are several ways to modify patterns of use. It may be desirable to shift the time of day or season in which se 'aces are in greater demand. If spreadhig out a peak load, for ex pie, results in reducing the need for more capacity, perhaps sa gs could be achieved that would justify a lower rate. Changing fee structures,'through offering lower rates during off-peak hours or seasons, may also change usage patterns. Competition Oriented Although the City may monopolize cert.* se ces within its boundaries, there are many ionfstcanoscte:but caotmthpeetsiti.vee pressure,eses,uirte,alwsohigichvecsothnte:citiethabeiliotyptitoon roaifsreedieuecsin. gTnhoenr_eemssaeyntibaie in the private sector alternatives to using City se aces. For ex ple, instead of attending a recreation progr. at a park, citizens may go to a movie or watch television. When there are alternatives available, the City may decide the private sector or another gove ental entity can provide cheaper and more effective'se ace, thereby e it® its role in a particular se ace area. In this m. er, competition may inhibit full recovery se aces and reducing City costs. Cost Oriented The most straightfo ard alternative includes those services where it is appropriate to recover costs or generate revenues in excess of costs. Typically these se aces have traditionally and historically: .recovered Bill cost and there is a consensus that these se aces should be entirely user fee supportedff . . - Pricing PolicyMat As,the City determines user fee'policy for each department and each individual fee area, _ - it may be helpful to considet the following decision matrix.

Web services contributed by Pleasant View Partners 7/10/01 http://www.eaglecreekpark-fdn.orgibark.htm "Bark Park" may bring new freedoms to dog o ers Page 1 of 3 "Bark Park" may bring new freedoms to dog owners Melissa Rousseau Ne Editor Move over Hoffman, there's a new park in town, and it will give dog owners a freedom they have never had before. The first"Bark Park" in western Wisconsin was approved by the River Falls Park Board by a 4-3 vote at its Sept. 18 meeting. The "Bark Park" would give dog owners a place to frolic with their pets without breaking the city's leash laws. However the proposal has not yet been approved by the River Falls City Council. Ald. Wayne Beebe said that the Plan Commission will have to recommend the "Bark Park" to the city council for final consideration. According to Jan Linehan at City Hall, the proposal should be discussed at the Nov. 5 meeting of the Plan Commisson and would then be discussed at either the Nov. 12 or 26 meeting of the city council. "I'm sure there will be concerns over liability and questions about who will monitor the park during the time frame for open hours and costs," Beebe said. Sandy Kusilek, animal warden for the city of River Falls and promoter of the off leash dog park, doesn't understand the council's hesitation. "I think the town board is nervous over liability," she said. "But I don't see a big difference between going to a park with your kids and going to a park with your dog." If approved by the city council, the off-leash dog park will be located to the east of Hoffman Park. A five-to six-foot high chain-link fence will surround the 2 1/2 acre park. The area will also include an exercise area in the center, two sand and gravel relief areas for the dogs and several benches. Dog owners will be responsible for policing their own dogs while visiting the park. Kusilek said that there will be plasitc bags and designated areas for cleaning up after the animals. She believes that a group mentality will keep the park clean. "If one person does it, everyone will do it," she said. "But we'd like to have a volunteer staff onsight to over thep ark." http://www.u .eduistudent-voice/issues/1996/1996oct3/970409.html 7/10/01 "Bark Park" may bring new freedoms to dog o ers Page 2 of 3 Kusilek visited several off-leash dog parks in Seattle before proposing the idea to the Park Board. "I visited the parks for about an hour, hour-and-a-half, and I didn't see one person who couldn't handle any situation," Kusilek said. "It was incredibly orderly and smooth." A •rding to Kusilek, a 2 1/2 acre fenced in park costs about $18,000, but the Bark Park Committee hopes to raise at least $20,000. "We'd like to have our own insurance in case a disaster took the fence out, or if we wanted to fence off a smaller area of the park for puppies, geriatric dogs or for people who would like a smaller area to work their dogs," she said. Kusilek added that she didn't know if$18,000 included the labor to put up the fence, and she said that she will continue to look for cheaper fencing. However, the committee may have to ask for volunteers to help put up the fence. To help raise funds for the park, Kusilek has asked Michael Padgett, art professor at UW-River Falls, to ask his students to donate their works of art for a fundraiser to be held sometime after the first of the year. Kusilek said that the committee has not yet decided what type of fundraiser they will have. A silent auction or raffle are just a couple of the ideas they have come up with, she said. "The most requested works will be of animals, either domestic or wild, or pastural scenes. (Mediums can be anything from) glass blowing to oils to sculpture, jewlery or fibers," she said. It is hoped that the "Bark Park" will be free and open to the public by this spring. A rding to Kusilek, the Pierce County 4-H Club is just one of many groups that would love to have a new area to train their dogs. "We are hoping that the Park and Recreation Department will let someone come in and offer some canine classes to the public," Kusilek said. "There's no reason why we couldn't have training sessions for people of all ages." Kusilek pointed out that the off-leash dog parks are quite a social spot for people of all ages. All the walls are dropped, she said, 20-year-olds talk to 65-year-olds who talk to 10-year-olds. "Dogs are an incredible buffer," she said. "People open up and let their guard down because they have a common bond." Kusilek said that the time has come for River Falls to open an off-leash dog park because there is no place in town for people to take their dogs. http:// u edu/student-voice/i ssues/1996/1996oct3/970409.htrnl 7/10/01 "Bark Park" may bring new freedoms to dog o ers Page 3 of 3 River Falls has leash laws that require dog-owners to keep their animals on leashes no longer than six-feet. Kusilek said that this is to allow owners to have as much control over their dogs as possible. "There is no where to run dogs (in River Falls)," Kusilek said. "They can't (take dogs off-leash) in the tree line area above Hoffman Park, and there used to be a problem of people sneaking into the cemetary to run their dogs, but now it's completely off-limits to dogs." Kusilek and the "Bark Park" committee are still looking for anyone who would like to volunteer time and energy to see the off-leash dog park become a reality. Those who wish to make contributions, may send them to: The River Falls Off-Leash Park, P.O. Box 353, River Falls, WI 54022-0353. A fund has also been established at the River Falls State Bank.

"Well, now there is." 41$1111111111111 Vanfossen said Parks and Recreation held a public meeting with Animal .'-'40110 Control and discussed ways to accoi :odate the pet o 'ers in Missoula. Vanfossen said he recently called the family who donated Jacob's Island to the city in 1976 and they were in favor of turning part of it into Bark Park. Jacobs Island is nine acres and Bark Park takes up the easte n ost six acres. Vanfossen said that's great for dog o. ers because not only is there ample land for dogs to run around on, but there's great access to the river as well. Vanfossen said the city chose Jacobs Island for Bark Park because of its close proximity to the Kim Williams Trail, don nto n Missoula, the Rattlesnake and UM. Arlee resident Sheryl Tegelberg agrees. I'm tickled to see something like this," Tegelberg said. "I often bring my dog into to i with me and this gives me a place to go to let the dog out." Tegelberg spent time in Bark Park Wednesday afternoon throe, ng a frisbee to her black lab-retriever mix Sheena. "If people don't abuse this, hopefully the city will keep it open and open more places like it," Tegelberg said, Vanfossen said the city will look at opening more areas like Bark Park depending on public response to the leashless area. Vanfossen stressed that there are rules at Bark Park. They include not bringing aggressive dogs into the park, owners cleaning up after their dogs, and putting them back on a leash once they leave the park. "There were probably about 25 dogs and their owners do there today," Vanfossen said. "I think it's going to be a real popular area."

Dodson: "Risk Management for Public Park "Do Runs"" I live in Orange Co ty, CA, where we have a n ber of Bark Parks and more in the pl .ng stage. Laguna Beach B.P.,the first, is fenced off from the road and partially fenced on two sides, but open to the canyon -- not good for beagles and huskies, which will run until they drop. This park has grass and is shut do whenever there is rain; still, there are mud puddles (which labs and Great Pyranees love). Parking is a problem. The second was built by Costa Mesa, a section of a public park with other facilities (i.e.,te is). Completely fenced, with huge old eucalyptus trees (anti-flea trees), grass, and park workers close and lock the gates religiously at sundo . The third was opened in La a Niguel, completely fenced, ground covered with mulch(wood chips)which minimizes bacteria and is easier to clean and allows it to be open every day of the year, regardless of weather. Irvine recently opened a park that(being Irvine) is the first to have lights and is open until 9 PM. Fenced, grass, which requires maintenance, closed on Wednesdays for maintenance, and closed whenever it rains (the folks and dogs then go to Laguna Niguel). Irvine also has a small area set aside for people who have small dogs and fear of big dogs. Those who have small and big dogs are able to mingle in the bigger area. (Some small dogs prefer big dogs -- such as Jack Russell Terriers.) All have signs at the outside gate with instructions. Supply doggie poop bags and pooper scoopers (for the huge mo ds or messy poop). Prohibit people from bringing food into the park. There are people who consider this a picnic area, free wild animal farm, and bring little kiddies and Wendy burgers and fries -® and cause a riot. Clean up always is a problem, primarily with those who drop by for a day, when they don't know what else to do. The "regulars" tell them to clean up(cries of"Poop Patrol!"), sometimes to no avail. http:// H .riskmail.org/archive/apr01/00000033.htm 7/10/01 RIS ail Archive: Re: Risk Management for Public Park "Dog Runs" Page 2 of 2 Children are a risk for pet o ers. Most people who bring children to bark parks are the d best parents in Orange County. Essential is to have a water fountain for dogs, and one for people; disabled parking near the entrances; double gates so that when someone is entering or leaving, other dogs c. ot out; benches for those who are unable to stand or play with their dogs (or are lazy). No fire hydrants. It is impractical to threaten to revoke access since the parks c ot be policed other than by the "regulars" for whom the park becomes an impo t part of their lifestyle. One of the lovely things about bark park, other than the freedom to play 'th your dog off-leash, is that people have opport *ties to make friends of those who are vastly different in age, socioeconomics, religious and ethnic background, etc. There is a commonality among dog lovers, similar to the universal language of music. When I had to euthanize my older dog, that night I went to bark park .th the younger one and many of my two-legged friends came over to hug me and share their stories, some with tears. Bark Parks are a great asset for a comm 'ty. Now I would never choose to live in an area that had none. (Let me know when yours is open; I may visit . . ..)

The City Council wants it, period! I envision Syd Sadistic playing "let's get the squirrels" with his Rotweiler "Drooler," who guards Syd's meth lab. He LeFinique is playing rubber chewy-checkers with his pet miniature poodle "Fifi." "Drooler" mistakes "Fifi" as squirrel chow and swallows "Fifi." A bystander's 3 year old runs over to pet "Drooler" is also mistaken for squirrel chow ... —20 This is an unsupervised park that is open to the public from da to dusk. Public Works Parks crews mow, cleaning restrooms, etc. Here's what I can think of so far: 1)Fence the area 2) Some kind of signage attempting to convey "use at your o risk:" City is not responsible for any injury to people, animals or property loss, etc. at languages? What picto-grams? (Maybe a toddler 1/2 in and 1/2 out of"Drooler's" mouth???) 3)Users must clean up after themselves and their dogs (??Does that include the bioh rd waste disposal of what's left of the 3 year old?) 4)Access is revocable at any time with no prior wa ng. 5)Park staff is not responsible for assisting with control of animals. Give them the phone n ber for our Animal Control Officer(who works nominal 40 hours/week M-Th). 6)Provide animal fecal removal training to a special squad of Park Maintenance employees.

Photo-Randy Greenwell The trendy dog park could happen as early as the coming year, say planners. The specific park still is to be determined and so are all the details, including financing. . . . The idea is to allow. dogs to develop social skillsandenjoy leash-free play in a large secured environment. The dogs' owners wouldsupervise from ringside while getting acquainted, themselves, with the other owners through swapping pet stories. • 7/10/01 http://landofpuregold.cominews156.htm I ET GOLDEN J A -AT I L OF P • GOLD Page 2 of 3 Alice James, director of the Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve and owner of two dogs, serves on the city's dog park planning co ittee. "I love my dogs — both Labrador Retrievers — and I love talking to other dog owners," she said recently. "I have goosebumps thinking about the dog park. The dogs could pick their buddies and start cliques like we humans." The canine park could include an agility zone, a doggies snack stand and a row of fire hydrants to boot. Fire hydrants? "Now there's an idea that's pretty cute," said Jim Haddan, city parks director, who also is on the committee. "I'll bet the fire department would donate some hydrants," J es said. The planners also envision dog health fairs, official leash-cutting ceremonies, howling contests and bobbing for bones in the park. Signs with sponsors' n. es could line the dog park fence similar to those hung around ball fields, James said. And if this isn't going too far, maybe the dogs could be taught how to read the signs? "I don't think so," she said. Only dogs that meet certain requirements would be electronically admitted via a microchip reader. The dogs would need to be nonaggressive and not in heat. They also would need to be at least four months old and up to speed with their vaccinations and rabies shots. Any breed would be accepted as long as it was well-behaved. "Any dog that attacked or was otherwise aggressive would be out in a flash. Zero tolerance would be enforced," James said. The owners would be required to clean up after their pets. Dogs still could be walked elsewhere in city parks, but only on leashes. Mark Dessauer, a local dog enthusiast, went before the city parks board a few weeks ago with the dog park idea. The board liked it and the study committee was developed to also include Kendall Paul of the Vanderburgh Humane Society, Nancy Naylor of the Evansville Obedience Club and Dessauer. "It's a great idea for providing a safe and clean location for dog owners and dogs to mingle," Haddan believes. "All is merely conceptual at this point but it should happen sometime in the new year." The main expenses are expected to be the fencing and the microchip reader. Pooch passes would likely cost $25 for a year. Day passes also could be provided, James said. She would like to see the local park established on two acres in the 75-acre Wesselman Park. 111bh http:illandofpuregold.corn/news 156.htm 7/10/01 Dog parks in Valley really hit the spot Page 1 of 4 siggpf,.,- - , Leg wEL, ......_ ..,,, 4 t. - - GO :',- ' •-z, pArt .4.7,:,..i.r.,-€:,, riiiiik\ ' , -(- .„d * ! ..... . mi,,,,-„,--:-.0,,,,,-- ,,r,for FREE ilANK _ ;E CI.1E(:ktlrc:' ,,..._ casino --c-,--, Click . ., () ., casino( WELLS FRE - tin azceN * n'tral..- -.---, „0. m ip az, h garden trawl 11 WTI' L-outdoors s*;42c..., i 7.44 '7 CO %ma. -Ari.°Lad° .

Is it worth the cost? Definitely, Nohren said, adding that intense use shows"there's a need for it." Many of the parks are well appointed. Two parks in Chandler feature agility courses. Tempe's Mitchell Park has two wading pools. Most dog owners are happy with just the basics: fenced lawn, a few benches and a supply of poop bags or mutt mitts. Park users say the venues give humans and pets a chance to commune with nature and meet other dog lovers, who know each other as D Bear's mommy or Bo's daddy. "It's the most friendly place you've been to except for a bar in Chicago,"said Debbie May, who takes her dogs to the Snedigar Sportsplex Bark Park in Chandler. For dogs, it's a chance to cut loose and snub leash laws. "Dogs have a need for socializing, pack involvement and exercise," said Donn Moseley, a member of P s at the Park, a volunteer group that monitors the off-leash area at Scottsdale's Chaparral Park. Chance to exercise Moseley, who makes and sells hats for dogs, comes to the park with his pups, Marvin the dachshund and Bit the Yorkshire terrier, who sports a tiny floral visor. On a Friday afternoon, they might meet miniature schnauzers Miss Schwartz, with her human companion Pat Liehr, and Jacqueline, owned by Jane Ramsberger. Ramsberger explained, "Jacqueline's an only dog, so it's nice for her to have other dogs around." Liehr lives in a condo and said the dog park is Miss Schwartz's only chance to exercise. Even people with generous back yards enjoy the parks. May takes her dogs to the Chandler Bark Park nearly every morning, though they have room to run at home. After an hour at play, "they'll sleep all day long, and it saves my furniture,"May said as her husky and black Lab raced by, paws thundering like a herd of buffalo. Good neighbors Although dog parks can initially dr controversy from neighbors fearing noise, odors and canine miscreants, communities have found http:// .azcentraLcominews/0509dogpark09.html 7/10/01 Dog parks in Valley really hit the spot Page 3 of 4 the parks cause few problems. "It's excellent. It's very popular," Bob Rhodes, parks supervisor for the central district in Glendale, said of his city's year-old dog park at 63rd Avenue and Mountain View. At first skeptical, Rhodes has become a believer. "We have people from all over the Valley here,"he said. "It's beyond my wildest belief it could happen." Glendale's park has proved so popular the city is building a s .nd venue at 57th Avenue and Union Hills. If creating parks just for dogs sounds indulgent, supporters say many dog owners have no children, so they don't take advantage of fields for Little League, so -r or T-ball. For the elderly and disabled, dog parks offer an opportunity to exercise pets easily and safely. Scottsdale's Hill said catering to dog owners is no different from serving golfers or tennis players. 'This is about people who choose to recreate with their dogs,"she said. "We're listening to our citizens." Gilbert's first dog park, at Crossroads Park, is scheduled to open in mid-June, which is none too soon for Tami Pschierer, who drives 20 minutes to take her husky mix, Madison, to the Shawnee Bark Park in Chandler. 'There's such a strong need for it' in Gilbert, she said. Phoenix shortage Dog owners in Phoenix are hoping for similar action. Nancy Calkins heads a group of volunteers that has petitioned the City Council to create off-leash areas in several suggested locations. With about 170 recreation areas in Phoenix, Calkins said, "You'd think there'd be at least one for dogs." Jim Burke, deputy director of Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library, said the city's newest proposed park, Deem Hills at 51st Avenue and Jomax, includes plans for a 3-acre off-leash area. The park is scheduled to get under way in summer 2002. Another dog park is under consideration at a central location, Burke said. Volunteer groups such as Paws at the Park can enhance efficiency. In Fountain Hills, ADOG helps patrol Desert Vista Park's 31/2-acre off- leash area, cleaning up waste, banishing aggressive dogs and raising funds for park improvements. This summer, Desert Vista will add thr-- shade structures, one of http:// .azcentral.cominews/0509dogpark09.html 7/10/01 Dog parks in Valley really hit the spot Page 4 of 4 which was paid for by ADOG. Don't assume dog owners are foolishly indulging their pooches with the n est fad, cautioned Moseley, the canine haberdasher. 'We're caring, loving people,"he said with a smile. "Dog parks, with their popularity, will persevere."

The puppies and people http :// .offleash.co ark.html7/10/01 Bark Article Page 2 of 5 who can get along in a social structure with many mores but no written rules soon come to adore their off leash time in the Park. Not only were there no written rules regarding park behavior, there were no written rules about the off leash hours. The local park administration extended the hours as a courtesy but was forbidden to post or write about them. This made oral communication all the more critical. As the park and its surrounding environs became safer, other constituents began to compete for its precious green turf. In an effort to make room for new waves of soccer players, little leaguers and picnickers, designated off leash hours were created. From 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. dogs would be allowed off leash. This was far from perfect. Many people's schedules simply wouldn't allow a visit to the park before 9:00 a.m. But most dog lovers accepted the schedule and set their alarms early for the morning dog walk. Others ran the risk of a $100 civil fine if they were caught off leash at the ong hour. A smaller evening hour contingent began to come to the park. While generally well behaved and benign the evening crew clearly broke park rules and created some acrimony with other park users. But by and large the off leash hours compromise worked reasonably well for nearly two decades. By the late 90's trouble was brewing in paradise. The park was being visited by an estimated 6 million visitors a year. The amount of picnic garbage became daunting to dog lovers in the summer months.And complaints regarding off leash dogs increased. The park undertook a major renovation of a large portion of its woodland areas, causing much of the once open terraine to be fenced off. In early 1998, the park was subject to increasing pressure regarding off leash dogs. A vicious anti park dog article appeared in a New York magazine. ile its focus was primarily Manhattan, Brooklyn felt the burn. Administrators in other New York City parks began el i i inating off leash hours. The city's quality of life crime crack down also had an eff Police now intervened in middle class activities such as bike riding,jaywalking and walking the dog off the leash. Dog walkers were being criminally summonsed and even arrested rather than fined. Doggie paradise was looking lost. Prospect Park dog walkers had to look hard at what they http://www.offleash.co. •ark.html 7/10/01 Bark Article Page 3 of 5 had and think through what would have to be done to maintain it. The degree of passion for the off leash scene in Prospect Park burned brighter then even its denizens imagined.Being off leash in Prospect Park was profoundly important to many people. In the year or two prior to the crisis Jane Cameron, a new but earnest Prospect Park regular, built a web site for the dogs in the park called Leash.com. Off Leash! Parented an email newsgroup which brought the nameless park faces together electronically, outside the park. Email proved to be a very effective conduit for the exchange of ne and ideas.When storm clouds brewed last summer, Ms. Cameron initiated a series of ad hoc meetings. Those meetings produced a new organization,FIDO(Fellowship for the Interests of Dogs and their O iers) in Prospect Park. Fills members agreed early on that a fenced in dog run could not work in Prospect Park. There were simply too many dogs. If a good Saturday morning turned out 700 dogs in the Long Meadow, it was a political impossibility that the city would ever allocate the resources for an appropriate run. FIDO turned its energy toward the preserving and enhancing off leash hours , making them safer,cleaner, and longer. FIDO took advantage of the general good manners of Prospect Park's dog walkers. It looked at the successes and failures other park groups and quickly concluded that a return to doggie paradise required squeaky-clean behavior on the part of the dog walking community. FIDO encourages poop scooping and reminds its members that the park belongs to everyone. The dogs are a constituency among constituencies. Enhanced off leash hours depend on respect for picnickers, ball players and strollers.FIDO has just initiated a spring lecture series in hopes of educating its o ranks regarding the importance of responsible dog o iership. A single membership drive in November tallied up over 120 FIDO members.*Dogs and their o sers have participated in park fundraisers, lobbied legislators in Albany for more funding for the park and set up weekly night walks for those who may have been too timid to venture out after dark. 110 is very proud to have opened up a real exchange with Prospect Park's ornithologists. Historically, the bird® http://www.offleash.co •ark.html 7/10/01 Bark Article rage-f ot watchers have been suspicious of the dog community. There have been isolated incidents of poorly controlled dogs destroying nests and chasing birds. FIDO met with the Brooklyn Bird Club and offered to spread the word that the annual Christmas Bird Count was happening in December. FIDO asked the dog community to avoid bringing their dogs to sensitive migration spots during on that critical day. The birders were most grateful. FIDO received an enthusiastic thank you and an offer for the full insiders bird watch tour in the spring. Best of all there has even been an expansion of the official off-leash hours, the ultimate goal of dog lovers eve here. During the less populated ° ter months the park is off leash from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. In al. popular interior meadow is now off leash year round after 5:00 on weeknights. This is extraordinary given that other New York City parks have lost there off leash privileges during this same time period. Some credit certainly goes to the local park administration. Their policy of enfranchising rather than ostricizing the dog community has created an atmosphere of communication and respect,which has resulted in more mannerly behavior on the part of the canine constituency. Dog lovers are more acutely aware of the needs of other park users. They are more aware of the disruption and damage dogs can cause to the park. The Prospect Park dog community must wrestle *th the strategic and ethical dilemmas created by these privileges and restrictions. Unlike the do ie paradises of the west coast, time restrictions force dog 0. ers to make a choice. Does one abide by the rules in hopes of winning further concessions or continue the scofflaw ranger dodge during prohibited hours. The Park Enforcement Patrol or PEP officers have been known to be confrontational at times, driving across fields of pristine grass at relatively high speeds to cut off the lone off-hours straggler. The consensus, at least among the dog o ers is that the enforcement seems more enthusiastic towards off leash violators than for illegal barbecuers, horse riders, titterers,and urninators. It is definitely clear that Prospect Park's englightened attitude toward the dogs makes disobeying the rules less attractive. http://www.offleash.co oark.html 7/10/01 Bark Article Page 5 of 5 Future 1J I projects seeks to address other park issues. There is a perennial shortage of trash cans which results in garbage being stre on the park la ss , a health h. rd for dogs, not to mention a source of frustration when dutiful pooper-scoopers must trapse over hill and dale *th their bulging bags.FIDO has pledged a substantial sum of money to be used toward the purchase of garbage cans that will be labeled as the gift of the dogs of Prospect Park. FIDO also plans to sponsor a spring hole filling party and is exploring the possibility of modified water fountains which would allow the doggies to drink to their hearts content from a ground level trough. FIDO hopes to become a back-up resource center for the many strays that are abandoned in the park. There are future plans for children's educational programs on dog related issues and the institution of community canine events such as flyball. There is talk of discounted veterinary and grooming services for FIDO members. Dog lovers in nearby neighborhoods and smaller parks have approached Fill for information on how to make their areas more dogs friendly. FIDO hopes to help. The organ .tion may also join in ci de efforts that are of benefit to the canine community. *Current FIDO membership,just one year later, is over 330 dues paying members O = E O'Malley Engineers, L L P . • .

As you know he intends to develop the park hmself. This is an option in the dedft tion ordinance. Mr. Phillips is not in as big a hurry as I originality thought. We inten*to sh.w the Parks tr.*.;,rd(Tuesday)a conceptual d&ign of the park and explain that w-will be back in the future with detailed plans for their approval A nuns,-r of issues are yet unr.c.- Wed. I. Mr. Phillips wants to know hw many• ling units his dedication will ccverHe has plated 391 units and at one t;me propoe.l 757 for all of castl, *ate. He said this may go up or do ir. He is dedicating 8.26 as that will *icr 834 dwelling units accoriing to the ordinance. Do give him credit for the 834 and he, do ve do that officially?As pad of the *,--rks brd minutes?On the development fee side it is a bit more complicated,. If i go with the 84 figure he will be required to build at least$257,708 worth of park amenities. I think he will do that with the site plan that we are currently wsrkin from and w can do an estimate to determine that from the final plans. 2. The next issue is one of design. Normally neighrbood park design is done by the parks planning staff&one of the staff engineers rev:-2-,,,s,and 4,-is the plans. Mr,. Phillips ents parks to do the design . This is somewhat of a problem due to the current workload but Mr. Phillips said he can wait. We will check with engineering to if they can'e.rk with us to complete the design and do the inspections and treat Mr, Phillips as if he ere a general contractor. I have no idea at ty*-: of agreement ,-*uid rt *with cr. Phillips on this issue.Any ideas?Are we in a hurry from the stand* int of issuing bui'*ing permits?Mr. Phillips indicated that a letter of credit could be obtained to guarnnte the construction of the park. 3. Mr. Phillips has constructed a series of ponds on the smaller park are that are filled by a well. The will be circulated by a pump from one **nd to another. Eventually this will b--! me park pro*-tly although I do not knolv when. Do any of you know /.-en this will *.?Steve and I had talked to Mr. Phillips t the maintenance of the pumps being the responsi*Iirty of the horn- ers asseciation but there is nothing in writing about this. Mr. Phillips is interested in this detail being worked out.

Prepare and coordinate a plan to address issues that need to be before the legislature or issues that may be before the legislature and may adversely affect the City of College Station. Policy Change: In the past the city has reviewed legislative actions at the state and federal level primarily responding to issues identified by the Texas Municipal League or National League of Cities. It is likely that the city may be more effective if it more closely monitors pending legislative initiatives and pro-actively seeks to address legislative issues with council resolutions. Resources: Primary resources necessary will be staff time to review anticipated or actual legislation and to review whether the city desires to enter into an agreement with a lobbyist on its behalf. Key Milestones: January 2002 Review with council legislation that the city supported and opposed during the 2001 legislative. December 2002 Identify key legislative initiatives that the city wishes to support or anticipated legislative actions that may not be in the best interest of College Station and that should be opposed. Present to the city council a plan to support or oppose various legislative actions in the upcoming legislative session. May 2003 Monitor legislative actions and present resolutions to the council supporting or opposing legislation based on the council's legislative priorities.

Criteria will have to be developed to evaluate property as to its current or potential usefulness to the City. Any property determined to be of minimal importance will be considered for selling through the appropriate legal processes. it is envisioned that once the process is established, and criteria for evaluation developed this process will be initiated every third year. Policy Change: Traditionally the City has only purchased property that it has a specific need for, and has held property for potential future use. With the process described above the City will take the position that all property is subject to a review process, and will be sold if it has no current or potential value for municipal purposes.

Page 2 of 2 POLICY FOR NAMING CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES Preface This policy is intended to serve as an outline for individuals or organizations seeking to name City of College Station parks and recreation facilities. 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 sbe 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 I e 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 signatures 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 1, 2 or 3 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. GUIDELINES Parks and facilities should be named in the following manner: 1 In honor of individuals who donate land for park space; 2. 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; ® 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. CITY OF COLLEGE STATION GUIDELINES FOR PLACING MONUMENTS, MEMORIALS AND EXHIBITS ON PUBLIC LAND OR IN PUBLIC FACILITIES Preface These guidelines are intended to insure orderly consideration, development and maintenance of monuments, memorials, and exhibits on city-owned property. They have been developed to be certain that any new additions enhance the beauty and interest of the areas in which they are placed. These guidelines should also be used as a checklist to aid anyone requesting that a monument, memorial, or exhibit be placed on city-owned property. City cemeteries are exempt from these guidelines. Guidelines Test The following test has been developed to help insure equitable and consistent decisions dealing with these matters: 1. Please provide the following information: name, date, contact person, address and telephone number of the organization, group or individual making the request, and a statement describing the details of the proposed monument, memorial, or exhibit. 2. When involving park and recreation land or facilities, has it been presented to the Parks and Recreation Department'? Procedurally, a request is first presented to the Parks and Recreation Department, and then a recommendation from staff or the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is forwarded to the City Council for their final approval. It is suggested that requests be submitted at the earliest stages of the proposed project to insure coordination with other activities or development. 3. How is the proposed project being funded and are those funds committed and available? Please state source of funds. 4. Has the entity making the proposal made provisions for long-term maintenance and upkeep? To insure appropriate maintenance and upkeep, an acceptable plan must be approved and accepted by the City of College Station. 5. Would the proposed project increase liability to the City? Design should be in a manner that does not pose any hazard or danger to the general public. 6. Does the project provide a functional purpose compatible with the proposed site or facility? Projects that have received previous approval have had a function consistent with the location. As an example, trees, benches, gardens and fountains have been successfully incorporated into projects in a manner that memorializes or recognizes a person, date, place or thing. 7. Does the project fit conceptually, aesthetically, and architecturally with the proposed site? Most public areas have a character that is distinctive or unique. It is most appropriate to place a feature in an area where it will conform to or enhance the theme and character of the site or facility. o Please state the proposed timetable for accomplishing the proposal. 9. Any le e or item of recognition that is intended to be located at the site of the e proposed o m ent, memorial, or e ibit will beprovidede sponsor and locatedon site uponapproval _y t CityofCollegeti .

Because of the nee to consider specific characteristics in the site selection process, the park locations indicated on the Plan are general. The actual locations, sizes, and number of parks will be dete ined when development occurs. The Plan will also be used to locate desirable park sites before development occurs, and those sites may be purchased by the City or received as donations. 10-E.2 Park Zones are established by the City's Comprehensive Plan and are configured to indicate service areas for neighborhood parks. Zone boundaries are established that follow key topographic features such as major thoroughfares, streams, and city limit lines. 10-F Additional Requirements; Definitions 10-F.1 Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for°park and recreation uses. Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements.
