Parks & Recreation Board Member Present: John Nichols. Brazos County Organizational Representatives: Floyd Wells, commander, Disabled American Veterans, Chapter 200 Bruce Chabot,President, Brazos Valley Chapter of National Sojourners Deborah Jasek, Chair, College Station Historic Preservation Committee P. David Romei, Executive Director, Arts Council of Brazos Valley Interested Citizens: Dr. Craig Carter Marvin E. Whittaker Calvin Boykin The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Steve Beachy introduced himself and the Park staff. Steve asked that the group go around the room and introduce themselves as well. Steve inforfned the group that they would receive copies of the minutes from the meeting once they were completed. He mentioned that he had seen an article in Memorial Day that brought to mind some of the discussions that had arisen regarding Veteran's Park and Athletic Complex. Steve said that the City purchased this land in 1998. It was bought for the purpose of having a large athletic park to serve soccer, softball, and similar sports. The City also felt that this park was going to be a key community site. He mentioned that the City was looking for a park site that was relatively flat and open, and that was centrally located with good visibility and access to the community. Veteran's Park and Athletic Complex is on the extreme northern part of College Station. Steve said that Veteran's Park& Athletic Complex is in the College Station city limits and in the Bryan School District (centrally located to the community). Steve went over a chart with the park's site characteristics. He said that this park would have softball and soccer fields and probably a pavilion, tennis courts, RV parking area, and trails. Steve said that $2 million dollars was approved in the 1998 bond election to start construction of the park. He said that this money will build softball fields, soccer fields, and an entranceway. The Parks Department will complete the project over a period of years. John Nichols served on the subcommittee that was appointed by the Parks & Recreation Board to come up with recommendations for naming the park. John talked about the concept behind naming the park. He said that there had been some discussion of ... .... ......... . dedicating a space in the park where there could be a monument or visual feature, with a presentation area or small pavilion (small plaza with landscaping). Another idea was to set aside a quiet area in the park. Steve said that there have been a lot of ideas, but nothing has been decided yet. Steve said that a committee will need to be developed to work on a memorial, and that the following questions should be asked before deciding on a memorial: 1. What should the memorial be? 2. Where should the memorial be located? 3. Who should be honored at the memorial? 4. How do we get it done? 5. How much money will be spent on the memorial? Deborah Jasek said that it would be a good idea to have a place that is away from everything else, where one could sit down on park benches and reflect. She suggested that one way to honor a lot of people would be to do what the women's memorial has done. They have set up a database and are attempting to document every woman that served in the armed services or in the auxiliary services. They created a page for all,of those women, where one could read their stories. She said that we could do this in addition to a memorial—this way it could personalize the memorial for a lot of people. Marvin Whittaker mentioned that a good idea would be to have the memorial where it is visible to a lot of people. He went on to say that the purpose of this park is to serve the region, and this is where a memorial is going to get the most visibility. This regional park will attract a large number of people (including young people). Bruce Chabot asked if the memorial will apply to all veterans. Calvin Boykin asked if a database was created, would it only include the resident veterans in the community? Marvin.said that there is.a large veteran population in Brazos County alone-- over 8,000. Rather than placing a statue made of metal in the park, Bruce Chabot suggested planting a memorial tree. This would not be expensive to do. The tree could also be accompanied by a metal marker or legend. Since the park is outdoors, it could be the Veteran's Park and Athletic Complex Memorial Tree. Marvin suggested a bronze creation of, the American Flag with the seal of each of the services engraved into the drapings of the flag. This would complement a memorial tree. He also suggested getting the children of the community involved in the.process by holding a contest to see what they would deem to be appropriate for a memorial. He suggested getting a committee together from people in the park district, veterans groups, and various other organizations. The Parks & Recreation Board could take a look at those groups or organizations, and get with . someone that is familiar with the art aspect of the project A committee could-organize scholarships and let the community get involved with the process. David Romei said that the amount of money the City will spend on the memorial will determine, to a large extent, what kind of memorial there will be. He went on to say that if the City is going to do something in a public park, it could put a tree at the entrance, ( but if it wants a quiet location, where people can sit down and reflect, and educate .................. .... themselves about the wars, he can envision big plaques on a great granite wall with an eternal flame. He said that we could always add on to this. He went on to say that this way, the City can include all branches of the service, and it can be one nation. We could do this once we know the budget and the location where we want to put the memorial. David said that there is a committee (Art in Public Places) you can get that information to. Steve said that the group cannot solve what the memorial should be at this point, but the question is how to get this done to make it successful. He said that there has to b6 feedback from the people that we are serving. He went on to say that there needs to be some kind of organizational structure created that would have representation from different organizations and that the work of this group would fall under several categories, such as publicity, design, and research. That will take some time to do. Craig Carter agreed, that to form the committee would have to be the first step. He mentioned that he had helped dedicate a memorial in his home town in Indiana where eight men had died in the Vietnam war each of their individual faces was inscribed into the granite. He said that any memorial would honor veterans regardless of how they served in peace and war, but the VFW had hoped to set a goal to build a memorial honoring each person who had died in a war who was from the Brazos County. He said that this would require a lot of research. He suggested utilizing the Texas A&M History Department where graduate students could possibly help. John said that the park could be designed so that it has the basic infrastructure and central features and won't close out development in years to come. Marvin urged involving the youth and getting the community involved. John asked Calvin what he knew about fund raising for these things. Calvin said that we couldn't depend on the $2 million(from the bond election) from the City. Steve said that the $2 million has been dedicated to getting started on the park. He went on to say that the City may be able to provide some financial support, but they could probably not do it all. He went on to say that the City does support public art and has budgeted for it. John said that there are grant foundations for nature trails, and that Texas Parks and Wildlife can match funds. Steve said that one of the keys to getting grants is matching them. David asked Steve what he thought would be the total amount spent once the park was finished? Steve estimated $10 million. David said that a rule is to try to put 1% of the money spent on a project towards public art. $10 million would mean that we could spend $100,000 on a work of art. Marvin suggested several sources where the City can request help. Steve mentioned that Jodie Hoyak, with Memorial Funeral Chapel, was involved with putting a memorial together in another county. He passed around the information and pictures of the memorial. Steve said that from the standpoint of the Parks Department, he would prefer that the department support a committee, rather than try to run it. He said that if the VFW would like to take the lead with this project, then the Parks Department can offer administrative and logistics support (have meetings at the department, assist with mail-outs, etc.). He suggested making the VFW in charge of assembling the players and having this group provide support to make it all happen. Everyone was in favor of this. { David agreed with Craig, that it is nice to personalize a sculpture of this magnitude, but g�' g the minute that you do that, you exclude some people. He compared it to giving a speech and not namingeveryone who het ed you. He said that it is the same with public art — the the more inclusiveY ou are, the more resources you will get. Deborah mentioned that we need to remember the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University when it comes to fund raising. She said that they love to do civic community work. Marvin mentioned that he would like to personally get involved with the committee and the decision making. Craig added that the VFW has already raised some money. Deborah suggested that Major Jim Ray(Texas A&M Development Foundation) might be able to help out with fund raising. Craig asked Steve what he thought the timeline would be for having something in the park. Steve said that the Parks Department is looking at three years. Floyd Wells mentioned that people will have to be educated about this. We will have to sell the idea to the public. Marvin talked about the availability of his agency's resources to help the committee. Steve asked Craig what he thought the group needed to do next. Craig responded that he would put out a plea to form a committee, spend the rest of the summer getting the committee put together, and plan on having a meeting in September and then possibly meet monthly. Steve said that we will need to figure out our process and figure out what other steps need to be taken. Steve asked, once the committee is put together, is there a need to establish a formal motion or approval, or to have a charter put together? He went on to say that this process would be good from our end and would show structure. Steve suggested getting a representative from The Eagle on the committee to help out with marketing and communications. The group talked about the importance of educating the public about veterans. Deborah mentioned that there is a new organization at Texas A&M University consisting of Veterans coming back to school after having served in the military. Steve said that the Parks Department will send the everyone the minutes from the meeting, with an updated member listing. Steve thanked the group for coming to the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m. { t•• BRAZOS COUNTY ORGANIZATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES John E.Velasquez, Lawrence Charanza, Commander.

Baker • Director of Information Systems College of Architecture Texas A&M University Langford Architecture Building,Room 202 College Station,Texas 77 843-313 7 Dear Mr. Baker, I appreciate your taking the time to meet with Steve, Jim and I to discuss the issues associated with your property on Ashburn. Most importantly, I appreciate your desire to cooperate and find a solution to this matter that meets your goals as well as the City's. The following three points represent what we all agreed could serve as the basis for settlement of the issues: 1. We will work with you to replat the property into the three lots we discussed during our meeting including the potential to provide access to Lot 40 via the abandoned right-of-way to Marstellar. We will also have to deal with any setback issues on the new triangular lot on Ashburn/Woodland to accommodate the potential for the construction of a house on the lot. Jim Callaway will work with you and/or your engineer on the issues associated with the replat. 2. You will agree to dedicate whatever interest you have in the park/disputed area to the City to be used as a park with the understanding that it will remain a natural area through establishment of a conservation easement or other appropriate mechanism. Steve Beachy will work on the necessary documents to accomplish this part of the agreement. Jim, once again, I thank you for being willing to work to a viable solution to this matter. You can expect to hear from Jim and Steve as they move forward with this project. If you have any questions or need any clarification of the terms that have been outlined, please feel free to contact me.

L v4„ t, v.ai c'202 2•.; Bryan, Texas 77802 Dear Diane: In 1998, the City of College Station purchased 150 acres of land located east of the bypass and between State Highway 30 and State Highway 60. This property is located contiguous to the Texas A&M University property and in close proximity to the proposed greenway for Carter Creek. The site will be developed as a major recreational park and will eventually serve as the primary location for many tournaments and other large community events. The park has been officially named Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. It will include some type of memorial for local veterans along with athletic and other leisure facilities. Softball and soccer fields, along with shelters,parking and support facilities will be developed over the next ten years. Initial funding of approximately$2.1 million was approved in the 1998 general obligation election. I am requesting that Brazos Beautiful consider this site for future plantings. The property has approximately 1802 feet of frontage on state highway 30 and approximately 1524 feet of frontage on state highway 60. It is centrally located within the community being in the College Station city limits and in the Bryan Independent School District jurisdiction. The open nature of the terrain lends itself to a variety of plantings to enhance the overall appearance of the site. Please contact me at 7643413 if you have questions about the site or would like to view the property. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.

This tract, officially named "Veterans Park&Athletic Complex", has extensive frontage on state highways 30 and 60 and will be developed as a major regional athletic complex. We are currently seeking input from citizens, user groups and other interested parties during the r.... preliminary design phase. One aspect that we are interested in is the potential for cooperative uses associated with the Texas A&M University property. Our site willincludefacilities such as soccer !fields, adult softball fields and a group pavilion along with rest rooms, concession buildings, parking areas and-other support facilities. The site includes a dedicated Corps of Engineers wetlands reserve located along the western boundary that may provide future linkage to the proposed Carter Creek greenway. Other facilities that have been suggested include camping, trails, baseball field, veteran's memorial area and allocation for selected commercial sites that could facilitate convenience or fast food operations. I would like to discuss any issues of mutual interest related to this site at the 9am meeting on July 1st. The meeting will be in the Central Park Office, Parks Planning Conference Room.

Baker Director of Information Systems College of Architecture Texas A&M University Langford Architecture Building,Room 202 College Station,Texas 77843-3137 Dear Mr.Baker, I appreciate your taking the time to meet with Steve, Jim and Ito discuss the issues associated with your property on Ashburn. Most importantly, I appreciate your desire to cooperate and find a solution to this matter that meets your goals as well as the City's. The following three points represent what we all agreed could serve as the basis for settlement of the issues: 1. We will work with you to replat the property into the three lots we discussed during our meeting including the potential to provide access to Lot 40 via the abandoned right-of-way to Marstellar. We will also have to deal with any setback issues on the new triangular lot on Ashburn/Woodland to accommodate the potential for the construction of a house on the lot. Jim Callaway will work with you and/or your engineer on the issues associated with the replat. 2. You will agree to dedicate whatever interest you have in the park/disputed area to the City to be used as a park with the understanding that it.will remain a natural area through establishment of a conservation easement or other appropriate mechanism. Steve Beachy will work on the necessary documents to accomplish this part of the agreement. Jim, once again,I thank you for being willing to work to a viable solution to this matter. You can expect to hear from Jim and Steve as they move forward with this project. If you have any questions or need any clarification of the terms that have been outlined, please feel free to contact me.
