College Station, TX 77840
Dear Steve:
I am writing to ask your help in a matter regarding Hensel Park As you know,
Hensel Park is listed as a city park for College Station, yet we receive no support,pP s nor
have we requested support, from the.city.
I have Just received an estimate for the cost of trashp for next-
ickuyear from our
p
Physical Plant and it is being greatly increased. My questions is, could thep ark
become a part of the College Station garbage collection system, thereby saving us
about $800.00, which could then be pumped back into the maintenance and
improvement of the.park? Since trash pick-up serves the adjacent neighborhoods
your trucks are already in the area and the park could be routinely served.
We have student workers who pick up trash in the park, collect the trash from small
containers and put it in the larger dumpsters. We would be happyto re-arrange the
dumpster locations or use your dumpsters to facilitate the collection process.
If this is a possibility, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this assistance
with you. If this letter needs to be redirected, I would appreciate it if you would
forward to the appropriate department.
I am leaving today for vacation and will return to the office June 19. I would like to
discuss this solution to our problem if there is a chance of assistance from the city.

Dear Carolyn:
Thank you for Idler concerning Hensel Park. The City has provided funds for recreation equipment
and picnic units over the past several years as cooperative venture with the University. The City
also provides routine inspection and maintenance of the facilities that it has installed. This was
done to enhance neighborhood park facilities for College Station residents who live in the area
north of University Drive and west of Texas Avenue. The majority of these residents are students
or families of students and the City deemed that improvements to Hensel Park were the most
effective method to provide neighborhood park facilities in this area.
Garbage service for other College Station City park facilities is provided by the Public Works
Department. These services are charged at the normal commercial rates for collections. Any
garbage service provided to Hensel Park by the City would also be assessed a fee based upon the
volume and frequency of collection. The City does not want to assume this cost.
Additional improvements to Hensel Park may be considered by the City in the future if funding .
becomes available. Please feel free to contact me if additional information is required. I will be
happy to discuss this with you after you return from vacation.
Sincerely,
- •
