Joint Use Agreement Update - The CSISD officials and Parks staff have met to review the Joint Use Agreement. This year is the 10th anniversary of that agreement. The meeting consisted of a comprehensive look and all City services and all CSISD services which are utilized by the other. Many times people view ) this as a Parks Department/ Community Education Agreement, but it encompasses many more services. The agreement includes practically each and every department in the City and many in the CSISD. After reviewing the agreement, a parties agreed that it was still a good document, but we need to make several l attachments. These attachments will include other agreements that the City and CSISD have entered into. They are the Natatorium Agreement, the Kids Klub Agreement, and the Xtra-Education Agreement. These three documentshave specifics on who is responsible for certain functions, and financial information as it pertains to that activity. 2. The 2nd Annual Holiday Home Tour was held on Saturday, December 6, 1997 from noon to 4:00 p.m. Three residences were featured: The Reed House on George Bush Drive is the Texas A&M University Chancellor's Residence; 204 Pershing Street which was built in 1938 and has College Station Historic Marker # 39; and 215 Lee Street which was built in 1935 and recently renovated and has i College Station Historic Marker #40. The event was highlighted by local florists decorating for the season, and Texas A&M Choral Groups and piano players , , providing entertainment. The event was very successful and many positive , comments were received. An estimated 75 people attended the Tour. All of the proceeds from the tour went to the ,Historic Preservation Committee and their - , projects. Home of Texas A&M University 3. City of College Station and Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club Temporary Teen Center Update: The Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club was recently awarded a $50,000 Grant for the purpose of a Teen Center, to be located in College Station. This project is a joint venture between the Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club and the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department. Money received through the grant will be utilized for program costs while the City provides support through the provision of a facility. This temporary Teen Center will be housed in the old Shenanigan's Teen Center. Shenanigan's was closed last May due to low participation numbers and needed repairs for the building. Although the building needs quite a bit of repair, and is smaller that what is desired for a long term/permanent Teen Center it was the only desirable and realistic option we had in order begin some type of operation within established time limits as set forth in the grant requirements. Clean up and minor renovations are underway at the old Shenanigan's Center, which is located next to the College Station Conference Center. The Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club received the Teen Center's Charter on December 15. Ms. Angela Ware has been named as the Unit Director, and has already met several times with Parks staff to begin plans for center activities. Renovations and clean-up activities are scheduled to be complete by the end of January. The Center will not only allow for educational opportunities for College Station Teens but it will also provide a consistent meeting place for the College Station Teen Advisory Board (TAB). Most of the TAB activities will continue to be scheduled at various sites located throughout the City simply due to the size of this facility. The TAB will provide staff with input on a name for the Center as well as equipment and program suggestions. 4. The Texas Public Pool Council is again being hosted by the City of College Station There are over 40 participants in the Aquatic Facility Operator course and over 100 participants in the Aquatic Workshop. Participants came from all over the United States. Some of the classes include maintenance and operations of swimming facilities, as well as leadership, teamwork, and communication lectures. The workshop is being held at the Ramada Inn in College Station. 5. Tree installation in Edelweiss Park was completed in December by the Forestry Activity Center and the Parks Operations South District. A total of 86 trees with a supporting irrigation system is to be installed in the park mainly around the outer edges. Due to anticipated frequent flooding, no trees were installed in the detention pond area which comprises the majority of the park area. Further development plans for the park will be considered by the PARD Board over the winter.

Approval of Minutes: December 9, 1997 John submitted some name changes. The minutes were approved as amended. 2. Hear Visitors: No unscheduled visitors spoke. 3. Presentation and Consideration of Potential Parkland Dedication for Westfield Addition: Ric displayed a graphic representation displaying a possible layout of the park and school site. He met with David Neal, CSISD,who stated that they could probably supply 10-15 acres of property for a park without the City having to purchase any land. Mr. Szabuniewicz displayed a site plan that showed a rough estimate of the floodplain that his engineer calculated. He proposed donating roughly 4 acres to satisfy his current dedication requirement and asked for credit for any portion of land above his requirement to be used for future development requirements. The exact amount of acreage will be determined when the final drainage study is completed. Mr. Szabuniewicz has planned for 219 dwelling units. Therefore, 1.65 acres is his current required dedication. The Board discussed if there should be a timeline on future development if the new dedication ordinance is passed by Council. Steve stated that currently there is not a time frame in the parkland dedication ordinance. Gary motioned to accept the proposed dedication, adding that future development must occur within a 10-year time frame in order for the credit to be valid on future dedication requirements. The motion was seconded by Bob and passed. 4. Discussion of the Boys and Girls Club of the Brazos Valley: Mr. Kevin Bingham could not attend the meeting,so this was postponed until the February meeting. 5. Discussion of Leash Requirement for Pets at Lick Creek Park: Elizabeth called the City Austin for information on their leash policies. They stated that they have 11 sites that are "leash free,"however,the dog must still be under`voice control." She stated that there is a sign in every park telling patrons that there are dogs in the park without leashes. Page 1 a3 Austin has had no problems with their policies. Gary motioned to remove the leash law at Lick Creek Park, with the provision that owners can handle dogs with voice control. John seconded the motion, Bob abstained, the motion passed. Elizabeth asked that signs be posted to reflect the change. 6. Review of Proposed Revision to the Park/and Dedication Ordinance: John mentioned that the ordinance has not been amended since 1981. The goal of the ordinance is for the City to maintain the current level of standards for all future parks. Bob stated that it would be beneficial to have a floating scale so that the ordinance would not have to be revisited. He also stated that it should be indexed to the value of the land. Steve stated that after approval from the Board, it will go to the focus group on February 3, to Planning & Zoning on February 19, to Council on March 12, at the earliest, and should be approved on March 26.John motioned to approve the proposed parkland dedication ordinance. Gary seconded, Bob abstained, the motion passed. Steve stated that if changes are made to the ordinance by the focus group, it will be brought back to the Board for review. 7. Discussion and Consideration of 1998 User Fees: Linda reviewed the proposed changes for 1998 and 1999. Increases were suggested by staff to increase swim lessons in order to retain instructors and lifeguards. Jenny stated that she has problems hiring and keeping instructors for swim lessons. Instructors currently get $6.25/hr. and she would like to increase that to $8/hr. She prefers to have certified instructors, but had to hire non-certified instructors due to the lack of certified ones. John stated that his kids used to instruct in the program but no longer do and the program has gone down in quality due to the lack of quality instructors. Vera suggested increasing fees in order to increase staff salaries to keep quality staff. An increase for adult softball was suggested to help fund the newly installed demand meter at Central Park. It will probably increase electrical costs for those affected fields. Basketball and volleyball were increased to add one official in basketball and one scorekeeper for volleyball. John motioned to accept the proposed fees increases for 1998 and 1999, and ask Council to absorb any future salary increases through the budget process, including for 1999. The motion was seconded by Gary and passed. Elizabeth and Bob abstained. Gary motioned to approve the fees for pool admittance as recommended. The motion was seconded by Debra. Elizabeth and Bob abstained. 8. Discussion of Gott The Board agreed not to provide funds to the City of Bryan to help renovate their municipal golf course. 9.

My initial goal was to complete .these and the Conference Center rates but I did not have time to look at the Conference Center. I can look at . those fees and .othersin the near future, but I knew that you wanted something by the. end of October in order to meet with #11e.

This information was provided by the aquatics staff. The entire budget was not allocated since some expenditures are for activities aside from public swimming such.as qpiash. Camp and Family Swim Nights. For example 82% of salaries and •benefits Were allocated to public swimming and the • other 18% was determined to be used for various programs and therefore not included in the analysis. The supervisory salaries and benefits Were prortedbased on the actual percentages of other staffing used at each facility. Costs that had a strong. relationship to staffing such as travel and training and uniforms were also allocated based on the actual staffing levels at each facility. Two costs were to the pools that are external to.the Aquatics cost center. . • . . . . . . These were PARD Administration and Facilities Maintenance. Part of the . .

Some Mr.Tarrow was also an outstanding leader the Lee Chapel United cyan, areas in which he served: Delegate to Texas Annual Conference,Teacher of Men's Bible Class,Trustee Board } Chairperson, Education Chair,and Member of the United Methodist Men's Organization. To highlight a few of his accomplishments as principal: 1)instrumental in change of a school name-from the A&M Consolidated Negro School to Lincoln High School in 1946;2)by 1954,the following had been erected on the existing site:a four-room high school building,Home Economics Cottage,Science Building,Gymnasium, All-Purpose room and additional classrooms; 3) increased Faculty from six to ten classroom teachers, Home Economics and Shop teachers, and 4)Lincoln High School received Accreditation from the State Department of Education.

"The memories ofMr. Tarrow will always be with me because he was a very special person. He was not only my high school principal and instructor but my inspiration to become a teacher. He was a person that you could be comfortable with as a student as well as a teacher." Ethel Mae Steen Delley,Class'53 (Fanner Student&Elementary Teacher) W.A.Tarrow dedicated his life,honor,knowledge, and experience to the Lincoln High School which served the educational needs of the Black children in College Station for approximately twenty-four years at 1000 Eleanor Street. Therefore, we, the Lincoln Former Students Association respectfully requests that the area designated as the "field"of the Wayne Smith Little League Baseball Complex, be named: The W.A. Tarrow Field. We have taken to our hearts the memories that will be cherished forever if you will consider in your next meeting this very urgent request. The greatest satisfaction will come in knowing that the park adjacent to the Lincoln Center will serve as a memorial to the man but in honor of the great legacy he left with us. f Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Our monthly meetings are held at Lincoln Center. Previously,we sponsored Basketball Tournaments as a fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund. For a number of years , The Lincoln Former Students Association has held Gospel Musicals in the gymnasium during the months of April and November. The temperature in the gymnasium has been very uncomfortable at times, especially for our mature adults and young mothers with small children. Presently, "Walk-to-Music" is opened to the public on Monday and Friday evenings. ) This program was initiatedby the Former Students for health reasons. However,the facility needs an A.C. System. It is the dream of the Lincoln Former Students Association to one day be able to host the School Reunion Banquet and Religious Service in the Lincoln gymnasium. Many of our young people participate in sports and other extra-curricular activities daily in the gym and the temperature is overwhelmingly uncomfortable year round-too hot in summer and too cold in winter. We feel that no one should have to work or play under these conditions. And this being the only community facility where our children and youth can participate in supervised activities that are not only games and sport related but the Staff also provides learning opportunities that are educational and social skills development. Numerous events are geared toward the entire community. Therefore,we,the Lincoln Former Students Association respectfully ask the Board to consider our Request for an "A.C.System"for the Lincoln Recreation Center Gymnasium in your next meeting. Thanking you in advance for your consideration of this matter. 111 4",tial;:so It es Steen, President Forward Forever, Dackward Never Forward Forever, 13ackward Never+ Forward Forever, 13ackward Never 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. 8. Please state the proposed timetable for accomplishing the proposal. 9. Any plaque or item of recognition that is intended to be located at the site of the proposed monument, memorial, or exhibit will be provided by the sponsor and located on site upon approval by the City of College Station. Free-standing markers that are proposed to be located in turf areas are to be avoided. If you have questions or need additional information, please call the College Station Parks and Recreation Department at 764-3773. If making a proposal or seeking permission to install a memorial, monument, or exhibit, please include written answers to the above questions to expedite consideration by the Parks and Recreation Department. ) APPROVED: Ron Gay, Board Chairman Date Attest: Bridgette George CPS, Board Secretary Date • 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 be 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 1. 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: I 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; 7. 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.

Box 9625 College Station,Texas 77842-9625 Dear Mr. Steen: Thankou for your recent letter concerning the recommendation for the name of the new baseball y facilities in honor of Mr. W. A. Tarrow. Mr. Tarrow is certainly a worthy person for such a designation. There is an approved policy that outlines process for the naming of City parks or 1. facilities that I have enclosed with this letter. One requirement is to gather a petition with.the signatures of twenty five residents endorsing a particular recommendation. This is then submitted to the Parks & Recreation Department and forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Board for their. consideration. One such request has.been received at this.time with the recommendation to name these facilities in honor of Wayne Smith, an early leader in the College Station youth baseball program. As you know, a special committee has been appointed by the Chairman of the Parks and • Recreation Board to consider a recommendation for the formal name for the new facilities.This committee has representation from the Lincoln Former Students Association, the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee and the College Station Little League. The committee will act upon the request that has been received and forward their recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Board for consideration. The Board will then forward a recommendation to the City Council for final approval. I recommend that your organization proceed with the collection of the required number of signatures on the petition and then submit the request to our office as soon as possible. This may enable the appointed committee to consider both requests at the same time while developing their recommendation. Please feel free to contact me at 764-3413 should you need additional information or assistance.

No.1816 , .,.. SECTION 10: REQUIREMENTS FOR PARK LAND DEDICATION 10-A. Purpose 10-A.1 This section is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks as a function of subdivision development in the City of College Station. This section is enacted in accordance with the home rule powers of the City of College Station, granted under the Texas Constitution, and the.statutes of the State of Texas, including, but not by way of limitation, Articles 974a and 1175. It is hereby • declared.by the City Council that recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate proce- dure to provide for same is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure for planning and developing property or subdivisions in the city, whether such devel- opment consists-of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of structures on existing residential property. 10-A.2 Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks and Recreation Department and shown on the official Parks and Recreation map for the City of College Station shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne-by the ultimate residential property owners who, by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, the following requirements are adopted to effect the purposes stated: 9-39 Rev. 1/93 . ... • . • r • 10-B General Requirement, R-1, R-IA, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6 Land, to be Used for Single-Family, Duplex, and/or.Apartment Residential Purposes 10-B.1 Whenever a final plat is filed of record with the County Clerk of Brazos County for development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning reg- uintions of the City, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area • of land to the City for park purposes, which area shall equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred thirty-three (133) proposed dwelling units. Any proposed plat submitted to the City for approval shall show the area proposed to be dedicated under this section. The required dedication of this subsection may be met by a. payment of money in lieu of land when permitted or required by the other provi- skins of this section. 10-13.2 The City Council declares that development of an area smaller than one (1) acre . • for public parks purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than one hundred • thirty-three (133) units are proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable cash in lieu of land amount provided by 10-D.3., rather than to dedicate any land area. No plat showing a dedication of less than one (1) acre shall be approved. ,• 10-13.3 In instances where an area of less than five'(5) acres is required to be dedicated,. • the City shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval. on the final plat, or to refuse same, after consideration of the recommendation of the Plarming and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board, and to require payment of cash in lieu,of land-in the amount provided by 10-D.3., if the City determines that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the recreation potential for that zone would be better served by expanding or improving existing parks. • 10-13.4 The dedication required by this section sh.all be made by filing of the final plat or contemporaneously by separate instrument unless additional dedication is required subsequent to the filing of the final plat. .

Purpose 10-A.1 This section is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood and community parks as a function of subdivision development in the City of College Station. This section is enacted in accordance with the home rule powers of the City of College Station, granted under the Texas Constitution, and the statutes of the State of Texas, including, but not by way of limitation, (LOCAL GOV'T CODE REF.) It is hereby declared by the City Council that recreational areas in the form of neighborhood and community parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to provide for same is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure for planning and developing property or subdivisions in the city, whether such development consists of new construction on vacant land or redevelopment of structures for residential use. 10-A.2 Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks and Recreation.Department and shown on the official Parks and Recreation map for the City of College Station shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne by the ultimate • residential property owners who, by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary.beneficiaries of such facilities. 10-A3, Community parks tend to serve many neighborhoods and provide many of the same types of facilities as neighborhood parks with the addition of facilities such as athletic fields, pavilions, rest rooms, playing courts, and nature preserves. In College Station, community parks will generally be 40-50 acres and serve one park zone. _ Therefore, the following requirements are adopted to effect the purposes stated above: 10-B General Requirement, Any land to be used for Residential Purposes. Dedications shall cover both land and development costs for both neighborhood and community parkland. 10-B.1 Land Dedication and Development Cost, .111 Whenever a final plat is filed of record with the County Clerk of Brazos County • for development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning regulations of the City, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area of land to the City for park purposes, which area shall equal to one (1) acre for each sixty (62) proposed dwelling units. Parkland Dedication Ordinance Page 1 of 6 ' y i Development Cost Dedication Development cost must be dedicated at $525 per dwelling unit. This figure is the combined development cost estimate of $25,000 per acre for neighborhood parks and $40,000 per acre for community parks. Any proposed plat submitted to the City for approval shall show the area proposed to be dedicated under this section. The required land dedication of this subsection may be met by a payment of money in lieu of land when permitted or required by the other provisions of this section. See section 1 0-D. 1 0-B.2 The City Council declares that development of an area smaller than one (1) acre for public parks purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than sixty (62) units are proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable cash in lieu of land amount provided by l0-D.3., rather than to dedicate any land area. No plat showing a dedication of less than one (1) acre shall be approved. I0-B.3 In instances where an area of less than five (5) acres is required to be dedicated, the Cityshall have the right to accept the dedication for approval on the final g plat, or to refuse same, after consideration of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board, and to require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount provided by 10-D.3., if the City determines that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the recreation potential for that zone ( would be better served by expanding or improving existing parks. 10-B.4 The dedication required by this section•shall 'be made by filing of the final plat or contemporaneously by separate instrument unless additional dedication is required subsequent to the filing of the final plat. If the actual number of completed dwelling units exceeds the figure upon which the original dedication was based, such additional dedication shall be required, and shall be made by payment of the cash in lieu of land amount provided by 10-D.3., or by the conveyance of an entire numbered lot to the City. • 10-C Prior Dedication; Absence of Prior Dedication 10-C.1 Credit shall be given for land and/or money dedicated pursuant to Ordinance 690 or 983. 10-C.2 If a dedication requirement arose prior to passage of this section, that dedication requirement shall be controlled by the ordinance in effect at the time such obligation arose, except that additional dedication shall be required if the actual density of structures constructed upon property is greater than the former assumed density. Additional dedication shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be based upon the ratio set forth in 10-B. of this section. 10-C.3 At the discretion of the City, any former gift of land to the City may be credited per a on acre basis toward eventual land dedication requirements imposed on the donor of such lands. The City Council shall consider the recommendation Parkland Dedication Ordinance Page 2 of 6 . 1 of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board in exercising its discretion under this subsection. 10-D Money in Lieu of Land 10-D.1 Subject to veto of the City Council, a land owner responsible for dedication under this section may elect to meet the requirements of 10-B. in whole or in part by a cash payment in lieu of land, in the amount set forth in 10-D.3. Such payment in lieu of land to accompany development cost dedication shall be made at or prior to the time of final plat approval. 10-D.2, The City may from time to time decide to purchase land for parks in or near the area of actual or potential development. If the City does purchase park land in a park zone, subsequent park land dedications for that zone shall be in cash only, and calculated to reimburse the City's actual cost of acquisition and development of such land for parks. The cash amount shall be equal to the sum of the average price per acre of such land, and the actual cost of adjacent streets and on-site utilities, or an estimate of such actual cost provided by the City Engineer. Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for all such park land within a park zone, this subsection shall cease to apply, and the other subsections of this section shall again be applicable. 10-D.3 Fee for Land To the extent that 10-D.2. is not applicable, the dedication requirement shall be met by a payment in lieu of land at a fee set from time to time by resolution by the City Council sufficient to acquire neighborhood and community parkland, Unless changed by the City Council, such per-acre.price shall be computed on the basis of 178 dollars per dwelling unit. Cash payments may be used only for acquisition or development of a neighborhood and/or community park located - within the same zone as the development: • Fee for Development • In addition to ifie land-dedication there shall also be a fee set from time to time by resolution of the City Council sufficient to provide for development of the land to meet the standards for a neighborhood and community park to serve the zone in which such development is located. Unless changed by City Council this per-acre fee shall be computed on the basis of 525 dollars per dwelling unit. The total fee for land dedication and fee for development is 703 dollars. 10-E Comprehensive Plan Considerations 10-E.1 The Park and Open Space Plan is intended to provide the College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with ,a guide upon which to base future decisions. Because of the need 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 determined 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.

Any funds paid for such purposes must be expended by the City within five (5) years from the date received by the City for acquisition and/or development of a neighborhood or community park as defined herein. Such funds shall be considered to be spent on a first in, first out basis. If not so expended, the owners of the property on the last day of such period shall be entitled to a prorata refund of such sum, computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of such property must request such refund within one (1) year of entitlement, in writing, or such right shall be-barred. 10-G Additional .Requirements; Definitions 0-G,1 Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses. The following characteristics of a. proposed area shall be achieved wherever possible: (a) Sites should be located substantially outside of the floodplain. (b) Neighborhood park sites shouldbe adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users. (c) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. (d) Sites should be located adjacent to schools, where possible, in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co-development of new sites. (e) Sites should be located adjacent to the greenbelt system so that connections to the trail network may be'easily achieved. (1) Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities where these activities are necessary to the type of park. (g) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. ) Parkland Dedication Ordinance Page 4 of 6 10-G.2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety and minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. The following guidelines should be used in designing i n parks and adjacent development. � g (a) Where physically feasible, parks should be bounded by streets or by other public uses (e.g., school, library, recreation center). (b) Where residential lots must directly abut a park, lots should be oriented so as to side and not back to the park. In this instance, cul-de-sac and looped streets should be used to access the lots and park (see illustrations). Residential lots should back to a park only when the site's physical character (e.g., shape, topography, drainage) does not reasonably permit an alternative design or the layout of the subdivision complements the use of the park (e.g., lots backing to a golf course). • (c) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street connections to existing or future adjoining subdivision may be required to provide reasonable access to parks. (d) Where a non-residential use must directly abut a park, the use must be separated by a screening wall or fence and landscaping. Access points to the park may be permitted by the Planning and Zoning Commission if public benefit is established. ef. (e) Alleys may abut a park, but they should not be designed to encourage their use as a means of vehicular, bike or pedestrian travel to the park. • (f) Streets abutting a park shall be built in accordance with the thoroughfare plan and the standards of this ordinance; however, the City may require any residential street built ad jacent.to a park to be constructed to collector width to ensure access and prevent traffic congestion. (I) When park land is acquired, the City shall reserve sufficient land to provide 50% of the right-of-way for abutting streets. (2) Upon request by the developer, the City may participate up to 50% of the total street cost where a street is required to abut a park. The developer shall submit engineer's cost estimates in accordance with the City's oversize participation procedures. (3) In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks. Developers shall also provide street access to all creeks or drainage ways which are maintained by a homeowner association or dedicated as a drainage and floodway easement to the city.

(b) Cul-de-sacs which provide public access fronting on the park. (c) Loop streets which provide public access fronting on the park. In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks. 1O-G,4 Unless provided otherwise herein, an action by the City shall be by the City Council, after consideration of the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board.

Box 9625 College Station,Texas 77842-9625 Dear Mr. Steen: Thank you for your recent letter concerning the recommendation for the name of the new baseball facilities in honor of Mr. W. A. Tarrow. Mr. Tarrow is certainly a worthy person for such a designation. There is an approved policy that outlines process for the naming of City parks or facilities that I have enclosed with this letter. One requirement is to gather a petition with the signatures of twenty five residents endorsing a particular recommendation. This is then submitted to the Parks & Recreation Department and forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Board for their consideration. One such request has been received at this lime with the recommendation to name these facilities in honor of Wayne Smith, an early leader in the College Station youth baseball program. As you know, a special committee has been appointed by the Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Board to consider a recommendation for the formal name for the new facilities. This committee has representation from the Lincoln Former Students Association, the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee and the College Station Little League. The committee will act upon the request that has been received and forward their recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Board for consideration. The Board will then forward a recommendation to the City Council for final approval. I recommend that your organization proceed with the collection of the required number of signatures on the petition and then submit the request to our office as soon as possible. This may enable the appointed committee to consider both requests at the same time while developing their recommendation. Please feel free to contact me at 764-3413 should you need additional information or assistance.

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 be 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 1. 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; 7. 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.

Wayne Smith is commonly referred to as "the Father of College Station Little League Baseball". 2. Wayne Smith first became associated with youth baseball in Brazos County, Texas, in the 1950's. 3. At the time, College Station boys who wanted to play baseball had to play in Bryan, Texas, because there was no organized Little League in College Station. 4. In the 1960's, Wayne Smith was instrumental in the organization and creation of the Little League Baseball in College Station, Texas. 5. He was President of the College Station Little League for many years and stayed actively involved in College Station Little League baseball until his death in the early 1970's. 6. During his tenure, a Little League baseball field was built at Wayne Smith Park, 401 Luther and was used continuously until the Southwood Valley Athletic Complex began operations in 1984. 7. I understand that the reconstructed baseball fields located at 107 Holleman are already called the "Wayne Smith Baseball Fields" on various City of College Station plans, maps, and documents. 8. I would ask the College Station City Council to designate officially these baseball fields the "Wayne Smith Baseball Fields". . „. . ........ ...: ..,,.:.:, .. . ,, • .. , ,, ,,. • • Printed Name Signat e College Station Address L.16-frass a.„2, ,,,-„A.,,,,,,,.
