Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 1 of 1 Summary of Motions from Regular Meeting of June 8, 2004 U.113 'TE ) T-CD (-t t- LIGHTED SOCCER FIELDS (Placalc. PTIOV/5ele2 The College Station Soccer Club, Aggieland Soccer Club, and the Bryan-College Station Soccer League (Adult) have been informed that mixed messages have been presented to the Parks Board and the City `Tit s' 151° Council by some individuals in our clubs in regards to the needs for our organizations from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the City Council. This memo is an attempt to: 1) Clarify what we see as priority needs; 2) Identify what actions the city can take to help achieve these goals; and 3) Identify what actions the clubs will take to help achieve these goals. 1) As soccer has grown in our community, a need for lighted fields has become apparent. There are approximately 1500 registered players in the three clubs playing in College Station. In the past two years some of the needs have been addressed, with the opening of the spectacular Veteran's Park; however, there is still a need for more lighted fields. At the current time there are only four lighted fields available, (two at Veteran's Park and two at Southwood Athletic Complex) two of which are only available during the Spring Season. Many parents are unable during the fall and spring to get off of work,get their children and get to fields in time to have any meaningful practice. Because most games are played on weekends during the day, the primary need at the time is for lighting practice fields rather than game fields. While adding additional lighted game fields is needed the most important need at this time are lighted practice fields. The lighting of practice fields will remove practices from our current lighted (game) fields at Veteran's Park, resulting in the availability of more lighted game slots (if needed), and ensuring that our high quality game fields do not receive excessive wear, allowing the city to maintain this jewel of a park. 2) Our Clubs would like to ask the City to determine if a less powerful lighting system (compared to Veteran's) is acceptable for use at Central Park for soccer practice fields. A less powerful lighting system would reduce the cost of lighting such fields. if acceptable, then we would ask the City to recommend, approve, purchase and install lower-candlepower lights at the Central Park soccer fields to serve primarily as soccer practice fields. 3) While realizing the costs of lights are expensive, our clubs are taking a multi-prong approach to assist the City in addressing this need. A) We are putting together a joint grant between our 3 clubs with the U.S. Soccer Federation to fund a lighting set for as many Central Park fields as we can light. The submission deadline for this grant is December 1st. We intend to ask for the limit of$100,000 from the USSF, and additional funds from other public granting agencies. B) During the coming year we will organize some fund-raising activities specifically geared at lighting these fields and/or additional fields at Veteran's Park. 4) What we request from you. A) That the City determine if a less powerful lighting system (compared to Veteran's) for Central Park with the use of lower-candlepower lights for soccer practice fields. B)We would like your support with our grant application. A letter of support from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the City Council will help us immensely. C) A matching funds statement from the City will help leverage funds from the granting agencies. We ask that you consider what kind of direct matching level is feasible. D)Any advice or suggestions that you may have.

Recommendation(s): Discuss the issues with the Advisory Board and provide direction to staff regarding additional projects for neighborhood parks and lights for soccer fields. The Advisory Board will discuss these issues at their June 8th meeting and prepare a recommendation. Summary: The initial report was presented to Council on April 29th as a follow-up from the February 26, 2004 Workshop report regarding several park issues. At the conclusion of that meeting, Council directed staff to return at a later date with a plan and funding options to address the issues of lighting additional soccer fields and providing improvements to Eastgate and Steeplechase neighborhood parks. In addition, two other undeveloped neighborhood parks, Woodland Hills and University Park, were included due to recent citizen interest in these sites. The Council directed staff at the April 29th meeting to return at a later date for a joint meeting with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board to further discuss these issues. Staff also researched potential designs that may reduce costs. However, it is determined that any savings would be minimal. The Advisory Board is scheduled to discuss these issues at their regular meeting on June 8th and they will report on any actions, priorities and other recommendations to the Council at the workshop meeting. Budget and Financial Summary: The proposal to light 10 existing soccer fields would require approximately $1,000,000 for design and construction and approximately $100,000 in annual operating costs. This amount can be adjusted based on the actual number of fields that lights are installed on. Also, approximately $1,107,000 would be required for the development of four neighborhood parks. Annual operations and maintenance costs will be required for these additional park facilities, and would be requested as part of the annual budget process. All of these potential projects will require additional funding beyond current approved levels. The scope and time table for implementation of these proposed projects can be adjusted as required based upon funding availability and authorization. Funding options that are being considered for these proposals include issuing debt in the form of certificates of obligation, and using some one time funds from the General Fund fund balance that may be available. The funding option recommended will depend on the level of funding needed for the various projects. The overall impact of any direction given will be reviewed again as part of the FY 05 budget process. Attachments: 1. Soccer Field Lighting Proposal - Option 1 2.

Pamela Springfield Staff Assistant College Station Parks & Recreation Department (979)764-3414 pmphngfig|d@cotx.gov CC: Curtis Bingham; David Gerling; Glenn Brown; Peter Lamont; Ric Ploeger; Ross MEMORANDUM To: College Station City Council Date: June 9, 2004 Subject: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Report on 2004 Goals The Board had a busy and productive year. Our goals, adopted at the beginning of the year are attached with documentation under each of the thirteen main goals identified. Selected highlights include: • The Capital Improvement Program campaign was successful for the City of College Station and for the Parks and Recreation Department; initial planning is underway on several of the included items, with construction beginning on several projects in FY 2005. • Our neighborhood parks agenda has advanced with one new park under construction (Southern Oaks), public hearings completed for Woodway Park, adoption of a master plan for Eastgate Park, and numerous others considered for improvements and development. • Twenty-five new parkland dedication proposals were received and acted upon during this past year. • Continued oversight and refinement of the Parks Maintenance Standards was a focus at several meetings. Improvements in reaching targeted standards were observed. Focus is shifting to use of progress measurements for identifying needed improvements, resource requirements, and prioritization in annual budgeting process. The ratings have improved from 77% in December, 2002 to 90% in March, 2004. • Expansion of Lincoln Center has been initiated in accordance with master plan adopted last year. Construction has begun on the new game room, locker rooms, parking lot, and basketball pavilion. • Review and development of plans for improvements in the Arboretum; action on a limited set of concerns with others awaiting the Bee Creek drainage project. • Trails at Lick Creek Park completed and dedicated. • Consideration of public input and Council concerns resulted in recommendations regarding lighting of soccer fields and development of unfunded neighborhood parks. Council has voted to include discussion of these funding requests in their FY 2005 budget process. The Board appreciates the confidence and support of the Council through policy direction and provision of resources. We also wish to note that the attainment of these goals is largely due to the productive and efficient staff of CSPARD. We will be pleased to respond to any questions or concerns you may have.

I have already applied for appointments and included Parks as one of the options. Having served three terms on the Parks Board, I assumed they may not want to extend an individual beyond that. I am not sure if the three-term limit is a rigid one or simply represents a logical limit that should normally be observed. And, there are other roles that interested citizens can play. You might also check with Steve regarding a possible resignation of another Board member. If that person intends to do that, he should do it in time so the Council could appoint someone to the remaining time on that term. Steve is aware of the possiblity and better infomed than I am.
