1. Call to order- The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.
2® Hear visitors:
Brad Mason — Mr. Mason asked the Board the status of the disk golf course. Steve
Beachy replied that the City is considering the golf course as a possible addition to a park
site on Highway 6 South (at the old landfill site). He said that currently, there are no
plans to develop the park —it is in the conceptual phase. Steve explained that at this time,
there are no funds to develop the park. He mentioned that this project is one of the Parks
and Recreation Board's priorities, but in order to do this project, it would have to be
determined what kind of priority it would have relative to current projects. Steve
mentioned that the disk golf portion of the park would be fairly inexpensive, but the
Parks and Recreation Board
Regular Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, 2000

parking, restrooms, and other facilities that would be required would add considerably to
the overall expense. Mr. Mason asked about the possibility of putting the golf course at
Lick Creek Park, where there is parking already available. Steve replied that Lick Creek
has a Master Plan that does not include recreational activities. It is intended to remain as
a natural area.
Katy Mardick — Ms. Mardick represents a group called the "Park People," who are
concerned over the approximately 20-30 trees that were cut down at Gabbard Park. She
discussed some of the concerns the group had and requested the following (see
attachment):
The Park People would like the Parks and Recreation Department:
® to explain why each tree was cut, especially a large willow and some hackberries;
® to create a Hazardous Tree Management Program to document hazardous trees
appropriately;
® to notify residents near the park via news media, of its intentions for future tree
removal; and
® to give residents reasonable time to oppose any removal of trees.
Ms. Mardick urged that if there is no immediate hazard to park visitors, then the tree
removal plan should be terminated.
Steve said that the Department would need to prepare the answers to the concerns raised.
He went on to say that there would be no additional tree removal at the park until the
Department has had an opportunity to present the information as to why the trees were
removed. The Department will distribute fliers, to the homes surrounding the park and at
the park itself, stating when a public hearing would be held.
3. Pardon — Consider requests for absences of members from meeting: John Nichols
made a motion to accept the absences of Susan Allen and Sarah Birkhold as excused.
Glen Davis seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed 5-0.
4. Approval of minutes from Regular Meeting of January 11, 2000: John N. made a
motion to approve the minutes from Regular Meeting of January 11, 2000. Bill Davis
seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed 5-0.
5. Discussion and possible consideration of a proposal by the Brazos Lodging
Association to develop a playground in College Station: Steve said that the purpose of
this proposal by the Brazos Lodging Association is to provide leadership and fund raising
for, and coordination and development of a unique playground for the community. Steve
recommended that the Board consider the proposal. He mentioned that a location had not
yet been determined where a playground structure could be built, nor its theme, but he
feels that it would be a great opportunity to partner with the Brazos Valley Lodging
Association. Steve recommended that the Board appoint a subcommittee to review the
Parks and Recreation Board
Regular Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, 2000
Page 2 of 6
proposal and determine an appropriate location and theme for the project, if the Board is
in favor of the proposal.
Cindy Peaslee presented the Brazos Valley Lodging Association's proposal to build a
large playground structure in College Station. She said that the main idea for the project's
proposal was to give something back to the community. She went on to say that the
Brazos Valley Lodging Association is a hospitality -based association that represents
hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies, and any business that has anything to do with
welcoming business and visitors to the community. Cindy mentioned that volunteers and
fund raising would be provided, but they are asking the City to provide the property to
put the structure on, and future maintenance and operational costs. John N. asked about
the cost to build the structure. Cindy responded that there is a similar playground
structure in Corpus Christi that cost approximately $300,000. The estimate for this one
would cost approximately $200,000.
Steve told members to keep in mind that the playground structures are made primarily of
wood, so maintenance would be required. However, if properly maintained, the life span
of these structures is approximately 20-25 years. Cindy said that the Association would
like this structure to be as centrally located to the community as possible, and to be built
in a park with established parking. She said that most of the funding would come from
local businesses. One suggestion had been to build the structure at Veterans Park and
Athletic Complex.
John C. made a motion to have the Veterans Park and Athletic Complex Master Plan
Subcommittee explore the potential of building the playground structure, proposed by the
Brazos Lodging Association, at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. Bill seconded the
motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed 5-0.
6. Report and discussion of GIS study: Sarah Nicholls is a Ph.D. candidate in Tourism
Sciences at Texas A&M University and is interested in working with GIS (Geographical
Information Services). As a class project, she looked at the College Station parks and at
how accessible they are to, and equally distributed they are among various income groups
(see attached handout with findings of how she used GIS to measure levels of
accessibility to the parks in College Station).
7. Discussion and possible adoption of the Veterans Park and Athletic Complex
Master Plan: Steve said that there were two parts to this item:
1.) The preliminary report from the archaeology study of Veterans Park and Athletic
Complex show that there have been several archaeological sites identified that will
require additional work, time, and expense. The additional time required for the
study will probably affect the schedule by approximately a month. Dr. Alston Thorns
is the Archaeologist working on the project. He said that the southwestern edge of
the property is a continuous Indian archaeological site, which is approximately 1,000
yards long and 100 yards wide. He is recommending some additional backhoe work
in this area, in addition to digging about four to six small archaeological test pits, to
Parks and Recreation Board
Regular Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, 2000
Page 3 of 6
insure that there is not an important component buried there. Dr. Thorns said that the
additional work would probably take about nine to ten days to complete, and he feels
that the additional expenses would not exceed $15,000. (Note: if the additional
expense is over $15, 000, it would need to go back to the City Council for approval).
2.) Steve said that since the Special Meeting/Public Hearing which was held on
February 1, 2000, Parks staff have worked on two alternate plans to determine the
feasibility of adding an additional soccer field at Veterans Park and Athletic
Complex. He mentioned that the Department does not yet have the fall analysis of
whether the plans are economically feasible. Steve briefly went over the alternate
plans. He said that Alternate Plan "A" shows one softball field being eliminated,
and one soccer field being added. Alternate Plan "B" shows nine softball fields, in
addition to an additional soccer field. Steve said that the alternate plans were sent to
Bob Schmidt at O'Malley Engineers, who had some concerns with Alternate Plan
"A" (see attachment with list of concerns).
Luis Cifuentes suggested that the Master Plan Subcommittee discuss the alternate
plans with the Soccer Foundation. Steve said that this item was an informational
item to update the Board and recommended determining the feasibility of the plans
before making any decisions. The subcommittee will meet again and come back to
the Board with their findings. No motion was made on this item.
8. Discussion and possible appointment of members to the Lincoln Center Advisory
Committee: John C. made a motion to appoint Eleanor Williams, Mabelene Robinson,
and Debra Thomas to the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee, with A.C. Clark as an
alternate. Bill seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed 5-0.
9. Update and discussion of the College Station Bike Loop Project: Bob Mosley gave an
update on the project, which had been requested by the Board in January. He mentioned
that Brett McCully is the Project Manager but that he was unable to attend the meeting.
Bob said that this project has been a frustrating one, due to the fact that it was split into
three phases:
Phase I — On -Street Bike Lanes (pavement markings). Plans for this phase have gone
back and forth to the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) in Austin four
different times, but should be ready to bid on by March 1, 2000. He said that the
construction schedule is expected to take about nine months.
Phase 11 - Off -Street Bike Pass. This phase covers the area through Lemontree Park, Bee
Creek Park, up to the Bee Creek pavilion, and some interior loops through Central Park.
The first submittal of this phase to TXDOT is expected to be made by March 1, 2000.
Phase 111. This phase covers the area from the Bee Creek pavilion to the underpass under
Texas Avenue, and across to Krenek Tap Road. The Engineering Division has the design
and FEMA approval, but it is now tied up with the Corps of Engineers.

Regular Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, 2000

10. Consideration for endorsement of resolution for the Conservation and Reinvestment
Act (John Crompton): John Crompton recommended that the Board endorse the
resolution for the Conservation and Reinvestment Act (included in the February 8rh
Parks and Recreation Board packets) and forward it to the City Council for their
endorsement. Glen Davis made a motion to endorse the resolution and forward it to the
City Council. John C. seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed
5-0. (See attached resolution).
11. Report and discussion of duckweed problem at Gabbard Park: Curtis Bingham
addressed this item. He said that Gabbard pond has had a duck weed problem for many
years. He went on to say that duck weed normally dies after a hard frost, but due to the
fact that there have been mild winters in the last couple of years, the problem has only
gotten worse. The first method to treat the problem was to use a product called "Diquat".
This product worked well, but unfortunately it killed all of the aquatic vegetation in the
pond, though not the fish. The second method of treatment was to manually remove the
duckweed from the pond. The manual method consisted of several workers getting into
the water and on the banks of the pond and using a trash pump to suck up the water and
debris. This method turned out to be very time consuming. Curtis recently heard of, and
will purchase, a product called "Sonar". He mentioned that the Mississippi State
University Extension Service has done some work with this product and has had good
results. The only downfall is that it is expensive (the cost is $565/quart). To treat
Gabbard Park would initially cost around $1,200. The product will kill the duckweed for
a while. Then, every year, it would only need to be retreated with about a pint. The cost
to retreat the pond would be around $250 - $500/year. Curtis said that the Department
would post fliers informing citizens when the pond is treated.
12. Discussion and consideration of date for dedication of Edelweiss Park: Steve said
that the construction of Edelweiss Park is complete. He recommended delaying the
dedication date until later in the spring, or until some of the grass has had a chance to
grow. Glen asked if the department had accepted the park as complete. Eric Ploeger
confirmed that it had. Glen asked if the penalty fee for the delayed completion of the
park would go back into the park. Eric responded that it would either go back into the
park or the park zone it is in. No dedication date was set during the meeting.
13. Discussion and possible consideration of potential joint projects with CSISD: Steve
said that he, City staff, Tom Brymer (College Station City Manager), Jim Scales (CSISD
Superintendent), and CSISD staff met on January 215t during a CSISD quarterly meeting.
Several topics were discussed during the meeting.
® The Willow Branch Tennis Court Project is going forward. The School District will
build four lighted tennis courts at Willow Branch Junior High School. The School
District will bid and construct the tennis courts, and the City will reimburse them
under its interlocal agreement.
Parks and Recreation Board
Regular Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, 2000
Page 5 of 6
Additional lighting at A&M Consolidated High School tennis courts was discussed.
The School District has no objections to the proposal. Currently, the City does not
have funding for this project, but intends to request funding during the fiscal year
2001 budget process.
The potential development of a gymnasium, recreation center, and park site at the
new elementary school, south of Barron Road, was also discussed during the meeting.
This was an informational item and no motion was made.
14. Appointment of a fees subcommittee: Steve said that every year a fees subcommittee is
appointed by the Board to work with Park staff regarding fees. A recommendation from
the subcommittee will be made to the Board and used as part of the Department's budget
preparation for fiscal year 2001. He mentioned that the subcommittee would need to meet
and report back to the Board no later than May 2000. Glen Davis, Bill Davis, and John
Crompton volunteered to work on the subcommittee. No motion was made.
15. Discussion of FY00 City Council Mission Statement: Steve said that City Council has
revised their Mission and Vision Statements. He said that each department has been
asked to update the Council periodically on what is being done to achieve the statements.
During the March Board meeting, Steve would like to discuss the Strategic Plan for the
Parks Department and how it relates to the City Council Vision Statements, the Parks and
Recreation Board's goals, and whichever projects the Board would like to accomplish
during the F'Y01 budget process.
16. Consent items:
Capital Improvement Program Project Report: There was no discussion over the
Capital Improvement Program Project Report.
Discussion of next meeting date and agenda: The Board will meet on Tuesday,
March 7th at the Lincoln Recreation Center (a week ahead of the regularly scheduled
meeting).
17. Adjourn: Bill made a motion to adjourn. Chris seconded the motion. All were in favor
and the meeting adjourned at 10:08 p.m.

Purpose
I o "give back" to the Bryan -College Station Community while at the same time
i�nhancing the attractions draw to the area from surrounding communities.
A playground of this size and stature would be accessible to all area residents-,
including children, adults, disabled and athletes alike. In cooperation with the
contractor, the entire community would have input as to what this playground
would feature. Many hotel employees are asked on a daily basis about things to
do while visiting the B-CS area. As a city park play area, this playground would
be free for users and would encourage total family involvement for visitors as
well as residents.

I anor J. William
In ail thy ways acknowledge him,
and he
) paths.
Born. in College Station, Texas,
Eleanor J. Williams embodies the spirit
that former Congresswoman Barabra
Jordan describes as "Texas is more than
a place. It is a frame of mind. A Texan
believes that the individual is powerful.
Texas has that -sged individualism, the
feeling that I; as"an individual, can
accomplish whatever I want and that
there are no limits...." Eleanorj. Williams
does not allow life to limit her or
quench her enthusiasm for living it.
Her unshakable faith in God, her belief
in family, and her own spunk sustain her
in the face of what many would call
overwhelming odds. Eleanor did not
plan to achieve a history -making
milestone. What she planned was to
provide for her family and serve her
God the best she knew how. Eleanor
had left Prairie View, A & M University,
without completing her degree, to get
married and raise a family,
But life plans change. In 1978, she
became a divorced, black, single mother
with five of her seven children and a
foster child to support. It was her
natural optimism, determination, and
enthusiasm that lead Eleanor j. Williams
to the forefront. She did not just
survive, she excelled.

EleanorJ. Williams exemplifies "...the
highest and the best of aviation role
models. She provides a model career
,for aviation employees. She is a model
for work ethic, a model for goal setting,
a model for working against the odds,
a model for being an individual of Faith.
Through the hours of community efforts
with young people who feel that doors
are closed to them, she has single-
handedly provided skills, nurtured hope,
and in many cases, launched aviation
careers ... She has been a change agent
in these young lives and left with them
a motto: 'Be an agent of change, not a
victim of change."--LaVerne F. Reid,

A God-given power is yours,
my dear Eleanor,
through faith you have opened doors.
Within you I see, a fire whose passionate
flames have been set free.
You've dared others to dream; showing life
isn't impossible as it often does seem.
You have the courage to create.
To others you give love and defy hate.
You touch all whom you meet.
With your spirit, them you. greet.
You've conquered your fears, believing in
Him and guided by what your heart hears.
i
Life and love is within your soul.
Filling it, there is no space
for evil and age to take their toll.
Throughout life you have sung the song
of strength and serenity, now,
and when you were young.
An eternal essence pulses in your veins.
You have triumphed when life has given you
its greatest pains.
You've accomplished many things all
because in life you've dared and won
yourself wings.
Long ago your wings took flight, never
in darkness being lost, for you saw the
path with inner -sight.
Your faith and freedom forever shall live, for
in your life you have never believed in Never

Over the weekend of 1/8 and 1/9, the Brazos County 4-H Equestrian Club and the
College Station Forestry Division took in 740 Christmas trees at Central Park. In
Haswell Park, the 4-H Club and the Bryan Sanitation Division took in 691 trees. The
goal of this annual event is to save space in the landfill by diverting the trees to other
uses. In Bryan, the trees were taken to the compost facility. The trees taken in at Central
Park were chipped on site, and spread throughout the picnic area by the ponds. The chips
will help alleviate soil compaction caused by foot traffic, reduce soil erosion, and will
provide nutrients to the soil.
Prior to the recycling project, Christmas tree lot operators were notified by the College
Station and Bryan Sanitation Divisions of the chance to dispose of left over stock at no
cost at the compost facility. Roll -off containers were made available to some tree lots at
their request. In addition, both city's Sanitation Divisions picked up Christmas trees on
their normal yard waste routes (duplex and single family residences) and these were
taken to the compost facility. Between December 15 and January 15, a total of 1,131
trees were picked up curbside in College Station, and 924 in Bryan. This gives a total of
3,486 trees taken in by the recycling project and diverted from the landfill.
Many thanks and recognition should go to all the workers involved in this annual event.
This includes the College Station Parks and Recreation Forestry Division, the Sanitation
Divisions of both Bryan and College Station, the Brazos Valley Solid Waste
Management Agency, and especially the volunteer efforts of the Brazos County 4-H
Equestrian Club and Advanced Tree Care.

Dear Friends of CROP WALK:
On behalf of the 1999 Brazos CROP WALK committee, I want to express our appreciation for your support
of this year's CROP WALK. We had 193 walkers with sponsors' donations totaling $10,095 to provide
funds for hunger relief worldwide through Church World Service and locally where 25% of the proceeds go
to the Brazos Church Pantry and Brazos Food Bank. It took our walkers, their sponsors, and all of you listed
below to make this year's event a success - both in terms of raising money for hunger relief and in bringing
members of our community together for a worthy cause.
Again, thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
l

CALL TO ORDER
Mollie Guin called the meeting to order at 530 p.m.
APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
Mollie requested the minutes of November 9, 1999 be reviewed. The minutes were reviewed.
Fran Lamb moved to accept the minutes as presented. Eileen Sather seconded the motion. All in
favor and motion passed.
Committee Member Position —The position will be approved and filled at the February 2000,
Parks and Recreation Board meeting. Fran Lamb and Ed Holdredge filled out their applications
to reapply to the Committee. Ann Comer submitted her application to the City Secretary's
office, but it has not yet been forwarded to Kris Startzman in the Parks Department. Other
applications have also been turned in and will be forwarded as soon as they are processed.
Christmas Open House — Grace reported on the City of College Station Open House held at
"The Exit" Teen Center which was held on December 8, 1999. She stated the event went well
with good food and entertainment and approximately 200 citizens in attendance. The
entertainment was provided by the teens that use the Center. At this time Grace does not know if
this will become an annual event.
I -N
March 14, 2000 Committee meeting — Grace mentioned that the March Committee meeting will
be falling during Spring Break and wanted to confirm with the members that they would be
available at that time. Mollie Guin will be gone that week. The Committee decided to leave the
meeting date and time as originally scheduled.

November - December 1999
December 6, 1999
The Fall program moves on and the LRC Staff is pleased with the turn of
events. Membership for the Boys and girls club for the month of November 1999
is 126. Our daily participation in our after school program average is currently 50.
This might be misleading. We account for only those children who have paid
membership. There seems to be a misperception that children who do not have a
membership can not access youth services at the LRC. Actually, fees can be
discounted to meet the need of the child or family. The Learning Center and
computer lab is getting maximum use. Service organizations of TAMU have been
great and have shown a solid commitment to involve themselves in the programs
at the LRC. Look for more news on Healthy Grids Program_ in next month report.
Congratulation to the 1 at —3rd and 4tn —51h grades Panther Flag Football teas,
parents, and volunteer coaches. The 1 st — P team completed the season
undefeated and was honored at this banquet as displaying GREAT
SPORTMANSHIP. I have the trophy in my office. The Panther 41" —5th grade
team was undefeated as well. The team had a post celebration later at the LRC
11-23-99. Girl's basketball begun 11-29-99. Two teams represent the Lincoln
Recreation Center. The 1 St —4 grade are the MEAT, and the 5th —6t" grade are
the Fireballs. Coaches are Jackie Chambers, Beth Donovan, Rob Besel, and
Andre Heard. Boys' basketball begins January 2000.
Cheletia Johnson, Program Director of LRC Club, organized and hosted a very
well received Senior Thanks Giving Luncheon on November 13, 1999. Four staff
member attended T.R.A.P.S. Region 5 conference in Smitheville, Texas on Nov.
19, 1999. Center Supervisor, L. Jackson attended Minorities in Leisure Services
meeting in Galveston, Texas on 11-13-99. Jackson serves on KLL.S. board.
Staff members serve on many other committees and local youth development
oriented board. Nijecey Hards, Center Secretary, completed Notary course this
past month.
Local neighborhood men organization holds annual academic scholarship
fundraiser at LRC to benefit Brazos area youth. Concerned Bfiack Men have
been involved in Lincoln Recreation Center activities for the past three years.

CSLL
David, CSLL has priced our kids out of the baseball department. Fee has been increased to $60.00. No
way, the parents in this area will pay or work for scholarship. I wish their system was a little more
democratic. It makes me feel bad that I have been working with them and have agreed to let them use
facility for registration. You will not see any of our kids involved. Community feels that sport is becoming
more elitist, as well as soccer.
Sorry news,

Subject: CS Softball
I am just writing you to express my concern over the drastic increase in what is supposed to be a
recreational sport. I really think that the intent the city of CS has is to get rid of the little people who are
unfortunate enough not to have a sponsor for softball. As it was last year, it was very hard to come with
$285 for a past time, such as softball. Now to come up with $360 PLUS paying for the tournament is
outrageous. So congratulations! The city has done just what it has intended on doing. Getting rid of the
pions. Not only that, I know for a fact that quite a few sponsors have backed out too. Softball is supposed
to be a fun past time, now it is an expense. The city of Bryan sees it as a past time, and that is where we
now will take our money. I really enjoyed playing in CS. In fact, I preferred playing in CS, and I have
played ball here for many years, but now I just can't afford it anymore. I'm sorry that the "Powers That Be"
have decided against fun for the non -sponsored teams. I know you will not change the way it is run for
little ole me, but I feel that I have spent enough money in CS recreation, that I should express my opinion.
I guess my question now is "Whats next, Little League?"
