Don Allison seconded the motion. All were in favor,. and the motion passed unanimously. 5. Review, discussion, and possible action concerning Board and Departmental Goals and Objectives, and City Council Strategic Issues: Steve Beachy said that the Department is making good progress on its goals and strategies. One of the goals that the Department is falling behind schedule on is the revision of the Recreation, Park, and Open Space Master Plan because of current Capital Improvement projects. He added that the Department hopes to get back on schedule during the summer. Steve said that the new City Council has scheduled a strategic planning retreat on May 28`h and 29`h The Council will review the current Strategic Plan, and make amendments to it as needed. He added that Council has emphasized that they would like to streamline the Strategic Plan and focus more on key priorities. Steve will provide the Board with an update from the retreat at the June meeting. This item was intended for discussion only, and no motion was made. 6. Review, discussion, and possible action concerning the current Capital Improvement Project Report: Glenn Schroeder asked what the status was on the acquisition of the property adjacent to Woodway Park. Steve said that the City's Land Agent has been negotiating with the owner of that property. He added that the City is also in the process of trying to acquire the Jones Butler Road extension that is adjacent to the park. Steve said that he hopes that both of these land acquisitions will occur within the year. However, if they do not, there is a possibility that the City will proceed with developing the acreage that they have for Woodway Park and adding on to the development at a later time. Bill noticed that the Oaks Park Bridge Project had cost more than what was budgeted and asked if there was a way to prevent this problem from happening with other bridge projects. Eric Ploeger said that the project went over budget due to several unanticipated problems and safety concerns. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, Mcq 14, 2002 Page I of 3 This item was intended for discussion only, and no motion was made. 7. Review, discussion, and possible action concerning the future Capital Improvement Program: Steve said that there were no new developments on this item. Glenn Schroeder asked what the timeline was for the appointment of a citizens' committee to review the list of potential projects. Steve said that the City Council would be appointing the committee during the summer, and that the bond election would take place in the spring. John Nichols suggested developing a bulleted list for the citizens' committee that illustrates five of the major Capital Improvement projects that have been completed during the year to show what the Department has accomplished with funds that were allotted to Parks from the last bond election. This item was intended for discussion only, and no motion was made. g. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding a letter of support for a trails grant request to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department: Steve said that this item had been placed on the agenda to request the Board's support of a grant application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. If approved, the grant funding will be used to develop an interpretive program with signs that will run along the Wolf Pen Creek trail system. These signs will tell a story about the history of the corridor and educate visitors on the flora and fauna, and the importance of wetlands. The grant has a $100,000 maximum and a 20% local match --the grant request is approximately $76,100. The grant is being submitted by the Public Works Department, and they are asking for support from groups and organizations such as the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Brazos Greenways Council. The funding for the grant's match would come from the Wolf Pen Creek Tax Increment Finance Fund. Steve added that the City Council recently approved a construction contract for the first phase of the Wolf Pen Creek trail system. Glenn S. made a motion to authorize Chairman John Nichols to sign the letter of support. Bill Davis seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. Kris Lehde will forward the signed letter to the City's Greenways Coordinator to include with the grant applica"'ion. 9. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding a recommendation for the Parr and Recreation Department's 2003 User Fees: Peter Lamont presented the proposed Parks and Recreation Department's 2003 fee recommendations. He said that after the City had conducted a fee study last year, staff realized that there were some fees that were being charged that had not been included in the fee schedule which needed to be added. The Fees Subcommittee of the Board met on March 19, 2002, and had made some recommendations. Those recommendations were included in the Board packets. Bill Davis made a motion to approve the Parks and Recreation Department's 2003 user fees. Larry Farnsworth seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. Peter said that the Department has also revised the non-league user fee agreement for youth soflfhalI traveling teams. In addition to a $75 surcharge fee, these traveling teams will be charged $12` ""b" 30 prepaid daylight field rentals or $225 for 45 prepaid daylight field rentals. Don Allison asked if staff had met with coaches and softball representatives to discuss the agreement. Peter responded that those groups had proposed the method for determining the fees. Glenn asked if there was a similar agreement for competitive soccer teams. Peter responded that the College Station United Soccer Team has joined with the College Station Soccer Club. The City has a user's agreement with them, in which they pay the City $5 per participant, per season, and are allowed one night of practice per week on the game fields. After some discussion, Don Allison asked staff to reevaluate the agreement it has with soccer during the next review cycle to ensure that there is equity between softball and soccer. The Board was in consensus on the request. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 14, 2002 Page 2 of 3 10. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding the Board's Fiscal Year 2003 budget issues and priorities: Steve said that this item was placed on the agenda as a follow up from the March 2002 meeting where the Board was asked for their input into the Fiscal Year 2003 budget process. He added that service level adjustments would be requested by the Department relating to several of the Board's goals and objectives, including additional funding for Senior programs, park maintenance, and funding for the installation of batting cages and backstops at Bee Creek Park. Bill D. asked if there was a law that prevents bikes on sidewalks. He said that currently, children are bicycling to school and using the sidewalks instead of the streets. He asked if research could be done to determine: 1) what the actual law is; and 2) if that law could be waived for school children in a bike route -type situation. Steve said he could research the request. John Nichols asked if the Department had been contacted by the College Station Independent School District (CSISD) or the South Knoll Parent/Teachers Organization (PTO) regarding participation in a potential project at that elementary school. Steve responded that he had not been contacted. John said that he had been contacted by a representative from the South Knoll PTO asking for the City's participation in rubberizing an oval jogging track at the elementary school. John invited the representative to make a formal request to the Board. Steve said that an interlocal agreement between the City and Texas A&M University to replace the playground equipment at Hensel park has been forwarded to the University for review. If City staff does not hear back from the University soon, they may have to wait until the next budget cycle to start on the project. This item was intended for discussion only, and no motion was made. 11. Discussion of next meeting dates and possible agendas: The next regular meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, June 11`h, but due to several scheduling conflicts, the Board requested that the meeting be rescheduled to Thursday, June 131h. The following items are scheduled to be on the June agenda: - The proposed Urban Forest Management Plan. - The Texas A&M University's Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Class presentation regarding a feasibility study of a nature center at Lick Creek Park. - Discussion of a potential jogging track project with the City, CSISD, and the South Knoll PTO. - An update from the Council's Strategic Planning Retreat. - Committee member nominations. Glenn suggested discussion of a policy pertaining to skateboards and scooters in ballparks. He would also like a staff report concerning some concessionaire issues that have occurred at parks. Bill would like to discuss the possibility of City participation in developing a plan for development of a nature trail that would be supported by the Kiwanis Club and the Eagle Scouts. 12. Adjourn: Glenn made a motion to adjourn. Larry seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 14, 2002 Page 3 of 3 Page 1 of 1 (Cris Lehde ® RE: Meeting Reminder From: Jon Turton <iturton@mail.st joseph.org> To: 'Kris Lehde' <klehde@ci.college-station.tx.us> Date: 5/14/2002 9:00 AM Subject: RE: Meeting Reminder Kris - My work travel plans have changed and I am going to be out later this week and weekend.

P.O. Box 9960 • 1101 Texas Avenue 0 College Station, TX 77842 (979) 764-3500 www.ci.college-station.tx.us May 14, 2002 Mr. Andy Goldbloom Manager of Recreational Trails Programs Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road Austin, Texas 78744 Bear Mr. Goldbloom: The City of College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board strongly endorse the application for trails grant funding for the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor project. The Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Master Plan was first approved by the City Council in 1988. The plan was updated and revised in 1998. Implementation of the Master Plan began in 1992 with the financial assistance of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and from private donations. On May 9, 2002, the City Council approved a construction contract in the amount of $1,161,584 for the first phase of a major trail system within the eastern portion of the corridor. The design of an additional one mile of trail in the western portion of the corridor is currently in progress and will be under construction within twelve months. The purpose of this grant request is to design and install an interpretive program along the trail system throughout the corridor. These interpretive signs will enhance the visitor's experience through educational displays related to the flora, fauna, and the important roles of wetlands in an urban environment. The City of College Station has a long-standing commitment to this project. The addition of the interpretive signs will be very beneficial to our residents and visitors to the community. Thank you very much for your time and consideration of this request.

PROJECT LENGTH New construction 2.75 miles Renovation of existing 9 . IMM 9 KIMARIM (miles or feet) (miles or feet) 3 6. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT. Please provide a clear and concise description of the proposed project in the space below. Include a description of the trail length, width, surfacing, and configuration (loop, linear, network); trailhead and trailside amenities. Detail all work to be performed; any right-of-way or easements to be acquired; the relationship between project and any other work planned or existing; partnerships and/or community involvement; and educational/interpretive aspects of the project. The Wolf Pen Creek Special District in College Station has been on the drawing board for many years. The city is now on the verge developing the area including 2.75 miles of urban multipurpose trail that will connect apartment complexes to parks, restaurants and shopping areas. Once developed,this district and its trails will be heavily used by the community for bicycling, walking, shopping, dining and special event attendance. College Station has set aside money in the district for the trail design and construction and will be spending over one million dollars in the first phase to put trails in place. The area also offers an excellent opportunity to educate thousands of local citizens and visitors about the natural features and processes that occur along an urban creek and its related floodplain. This application is to request assistance with funding for the development of educational information and the placement of that information along the trail with interpretive signs. In order to help foster the benefits of trails, and the environments through which they pass, a strong educational message is needed. This project would provide permanent signage that would convey messages about plants and animals; the importance of the native landscape and how human activity influences it; the benefits of floodplains in stormwater management and water quality; the recreational/health benefits of trails; and the Recreational Trails Fund. The first phase of the trail system is currently out for construction bids and the second phase is under design. Awarding this grant would make it possible to integrate the signage and provide the educational messages from the first day that the trail opens. Because this project is in the heart of College Station, the benefits of the education will be significant as thousands of people will view the signs every year. Educating people about the importance of trails and helping them to notice and understand the environment they are passing through is a critical part of building support for trails and a stronger environmental ethic in the future. TRTF 2/99 7. ITEMIZED BUDGET. Provide in the space below an itemized list of all activities to be undertaken and the cost of each activity.

Provide in the space below a brief description of the benefits of the proposed project in terms of the project's quality, geographic scope, recreational needs met, and expected amount of trail use or population to be served. The City of College adopted the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan in 1988. The intent of the plan was to provide a combination of floodplain conservation, recreation and tourism in the targeted area. The exisitng and proposed trail system is located in the heart of College Station. The project has received strong, repeated community support for a central focal point in College Station. This area is adjance to the regional mall and provides regional entertainment and activities at the amphitheater. 12. "TRAIL CORRIDOR INFORMATION. Describe below the ownership of the trail corridor. If the land is currently in public hands, identify the name of the public land. If the land is not in the sponsor's ownership, include a statement of permission to construct trail project from the landowner. If land, easement, or other property interest will be acquired, describe how this will be accomplished. If acquisition in fee, include a statement of why easement was not possible. The majority of the property required for trail construction is currently owned by the City of College Station. The Wolf Pen Creek Overlay District requires developers to provide easements across their property as development occurs. Since the City is now intent on getting the trail in place ahead of development, we are pursuing easements and acquisition on a few remaing tracts. �IRm��ar �n�P I{cr+� f�F'mf 0 TRTF 2/99 City of College Station Greenways °e • Lake �• �1 i� i 4 L� a �'�• •'.Z �..

Bill Davis, Don Allison Local Development Community representatives Present: Steve Arden, Prudential Brazosland Realty; Charles Ellison, Attorney -at -Law; Randy French, Stylecraft Builders; Mike McClure, McClure Engineering; Fain McDougal, McDougal & Company; Wallace Phillips, Castlegate Community Handouts: Revised Park Land Dedication Ordinance (approved by Council in January 2002 and goes into effect on July 25, 2002); Draft of Proposed Developer Incentives; Woodcreek, Thomas, Gabbard, and Castlegate Parks site maps; a Developer Questionnaire. Background. Vision Statement #4, Strategy 4.a "To plan for community growth, we will maintain comprehensive parks planning processes and documentation. " The first proposal looked at cash incentives in the form of rebates back to the developer, for street frontage that was over and above the usual requirement stated in the Park Land Dedication Ordinance. The proposal had been presented to Parks Board and then to City Council, and Council asked for some other ideas. Meetinq Purpose and Goal: Create incentives for developers to provide adequate neighborhood parks. Woodcreek, Thomas, Gabbard, and Castlegate Parks were used as examples to discuss the ideal characteristics of a neighborhood park: • Good access and visibility are the two key issues; • Seven to ten (7-10) acres in size is preferable; • Ideally some of the park will be fairly open and level ground; • All residents in the neighborhood should be within a one-half mile, maximum walking distance from the park. The development community representatives present were asked to answer two questions in order to help identify possible incentives: 1. As a developer, what actions can you take to provide larger neighborhood parks in locations that will better serve residents? 2. Based upon the comments received from question #1, what potential incentives could the City offer to encourage you to take the actions identified? Discussion went around the table and the following suggestions were made: ® Better define what is considered detention/retention areas and other useable space, which is not allowed to be used for park land dedication; ® Give some type of rebate to the developer for providing more street frontage than is required; ® Tie greenbelts, detention/retention, and parks together with a trail system to encourage pedestrian traffic; ® Parks should enhance the visual character of the city and detention should count towards some type of credit; • Need to link/unite greenways and parks under one fund and one concept; ® Combine park land dedication with greenways and detention and give credit for it; - allow some land in the 100-year flood plain; and ® Find a way to "share" property that is in a 100-year flood plain or greenbelt and give credits. Hiphliphts and Ideas for Incentives: 1. Develop a "credit" system, whereby developers would get credit for greenways, detention, parks; 2. Development "trade-offs" to encourage the overall concept; make sure the city's process doesn't discourage creative development; 3. Process for planning development starts early; improve the process for coordinating parks, greenways, and detention; there needs to be a breakdown of the barriers between the entities that control them; 5. Money - it is the money and the cost to developers, builders, homeowners, and the city that's driving everyone; and 6. Make some aspects of development more economical, to redistribute the costs of the project — could take the money and put towards parks.

Such activities contribute to educational development and encourages leisure literacy, which are increasingly important aspects of life. Youth is defined as all students up to, and including, twelfth grade. The City requires any group that desires to operate a league utilizing city facilities, to enter into a contractual agreement (Facility Users Agreement) with the City. The City recognizes that there are youth groups, who desire to utilize City facilities at a free or discounted rate but do not operate under a "league" format. These user groups would not function under the same set of guidelines established for youth groups that operate leagues. It is the desire of the City to support these special youth groups by offering some benefits for field usage. We feel that since these groups are often, if not always, selective in their participation, almost always require a "try out" to be placed on the team, and do not operate under a "league" format, should probably not receive the same level of support as other contracted league groups. The City does however recognize the importance of the existence of such groups because they provide a source for advanced levels of play for the serious, talented and dedicated youth participant. Explanation of Fees and Benefits: In January of 2000, the City of College Station implemented a surcharge fee of $5.00 per individual/per league/per year or $75.00 per team/per league/per year. These fiends are placed into a special city account and used to pay for replacement, repair, or additions to athletic fields and complexes. Implementing this fee was an effort to generate funds from the individuals that utilize city facilities for their organized athletic activities to pay for such items, rather than utilize bond funds for capital improvements. Benefits to the user group(s): Upon receiving the $75.00 per team surcharge (as reference above) plus an additional $125.00, for a total of .$200.00, non league youth teams will receive 30 "non -charged" rentals (without lights), (or practices, to last no longer than ti-vo (2) Hours her practice per day. Alternatively, upon receiving the $75.00 per team surciiarge (as reference above) plus an additional $?25.00, 1Or a total of $ )00.00, nun vouch teams Will receive 4> "11M1-char11cd" rentals (WHIMui )iIhts). fi>r practices, to last no longer than two (2) hours per practice per day. Any practices over the base number provided will be charged at the regular field rental rate as approved by the City of College Station City Council. These rentals to be used before any paid rentals are made. Lights for any reservation will be charged an additional five dollars ($5.00) per two-hour rental. Reservations/rentals for both day and night must be made in person at the Central Park Office. The Parks & Recreation Department will make arrangements to have a City Employee turn lights on and off as needed at the Bee Creek and Lemontree Softball Complexes. Two (2) weeks worth of reservations may be made at a time with a minimum of 24 hours notice for the first reservation/rental. Fields will be available on Wednesdays, and Sundays for rentals during the College Station Parks and Recreation Department's regular youth softball league, with Friday's available unless the league requires them for rainouts and makeup games. In these cases the league play will take priority over rentals. The fields will be available any day of the week during non-league times. Practice "Round Robin" Tournaments - No field preparations will be made for "scrimmages" or "round robin" type tournaments (which are intended to serve as practices). Fees for the use of one (1) or more field will be the same as the reservation/rental information mention above. It will be required that the reservation/rental party notify the Central Parks Office, at the time the reservation is made, as to the number of teams expected, so that proper notification can be given to the Parks Operation Staff for additional trash runs. Official Softball Tournaments: Should any team(s) desire to host a tournament then all scheduled fees, requirements and benefits would apply (see Softball Field Rental Information Agreement). An Official Softball Tournament is defined as any Amateur Softball Association sanctioned fast pitch or slow pitch tournament. Revisions: The City of College Station reserves the right to modify this policy from time to time as deemed necessary by the Director of Parks and Recreation.

Page 4 • TO: Veterans Memorial Design Committee Members FROM: Dr. P. David Romei, Chairman DATE: 6 May 2002 SUBJECT: Veterans Memorial Update The Board of Directors has approved a contract for the infrastructure construction at the memorial site with Madison Construction Company. Construction is underway and we anticipate its completion on Thursday, 31 October 2002. The sculpture is at the bronzing foundry in New York and is on schedule for completion by mid -July. I shall visit with the artist on site during the latter part of this month and inspect the final wax model. Thereafter, the bronze will be poured into the molds bringing our memorial to life. We anticipate delivery during the first week of August. The final blueprints and specifications for the site and its improvements are in my office and available for review. Please feel free to visit the site and invest yourselves in what shall surely be the most beautiful and meaningful work of art in the Brazos Valley. Arrangements for the dedication ceremony and activities related thereto are underway. We shall keep you informed about future developments.
