Very basically, creek areas are shown as greenbelts and neighborhood parks are included within the city limits as was shown on the info given them last year. The holes to fill in from scratch are the ETJ and larger study area. Joe will be sending me a graphic that you can use tomorrow nite. It will be a computerized draft land use and park plan. T-fare will not be overlaid yet. This week the subconsultants wil receive computerized data to run their respective models(T-fare and W/WW). We are aiming for Jan. 31 (WED.)for a joint Parks Board/P&Z workshop meeting to discuss land use, t-fare and parks elements. Please go over this date with the board tomorrow nite and see how it looks. If it looks really bad for most members, other possibilities are Jan 30, (TUES)or Feb. 6(TUES). When I get the graphic tomorrow run it over and review it with you.

Flood plains and streams are noted in dark green. Future parks are not yet shown. The thoroughfare system will be modeled (beginning this week) and then the T-fare plan overlaid onto this land use plan. That combined with population projections and existing creek areas will determine locations for future park sites. The institutional (blue) locations include schools and churches. Obviously some of these are elementary schools and should have associated neighborhood park sites. Please mention Jan. 31 as a possibility for an evening Parks Board/P&Z workshop where Board members will have another opportunity for input. Let me know the response you get from the Board. Again, please remind the Board that all the information given to HOK back in August from that special Parks Board meeting will be incorporated into the draft parks plan.

The issue being that the referees are late for soccer games and sometimes don't even show up. For one thing, when the referees show up late to our soccer games it ends our game late. When our games end late we seem to have problems for post game plans. Also, my parents and others of the league have been calling in on the matter and that has not helped so far. It is starting to annoy us that the referees are still showing up late. The other thing that I wanted to say•is that I realize that my parents paid a great deal of money on this league. When the referees don't show up its like throwing their money in the trash. Perhaps you could refund some of our money. I have some suggestions that could help with this problem. You could reschedule the games so the referees can show up on time. You could also put up fliers and make them Concise of this problem. Thank you very much for your time and have a nice day.- Sincerely, z. • . Gordon Bassett • 12-18-95 Mr. Gordon Bassett Willow Branch Intermediate School 105 Holik Drive College Station TX 77840 Dear Mr. Bassett, Your letter was received by the City of College Station Parks &Recreation Department on Friday December 15, 1995,post marked on Thursday December 14, 1995, and dated Thursday November 16, 1995. The City of College Station is a facilitator for soccer leagues,which means that we provide the fields for various organizations. The City of College Station does not operate any soccer leagues. You might have signed up with the College Station Youth Soccer Association,the Aggieland Soccer Association,the American Stars or the Brazos Valley Magic, all of whom provide the service described in your letter. Each soccer organization separately contracts with a local soccer officials group to provide their league with officials. Your recourse is to find out which league you were registered with, and to whom your fees.werep aid to. Each of the above listed organizations has a president and board of directors that answer to the participants in their league. Generally, when a league has complaints about their contracted officials they will forward all complaints to that officials association for review. I hope that this information is helpful to you. If I can be of any fu Cher assistance you may call me at 409-764-3736 or write to me at 1000 Krenek Tap Road, College Station TX 77840.

The input obtained from the citizens is a key part of our park development process. We expect the park to be completed by August of 1996. • Thank you, • e Eric Ploeger Assistant Director, Parks and Recreation Department Copy: 'Steve Beachy, Director of Parks&Recreation Home of Texas A&M University CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Post Office Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842-0960 • (409) 764-3773 December 15, 1995 . College Station Independent School District 1812 Welsh College Station, TX 77840 Dear Dr. Stribling, Thank you for giving the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department the opportunity to participate in the College Station School District's Fourth Grade Learn to Swim program. It was a rewarding experience to see so many children enjoy swimming lessons. It was apparent to observers that the instructors also enjoyed working with the children. Our goal was to teach them to swim and.help them improve their swimming skills. Teaching safety in and around the water was a primary goal, as well. Due to heater malfunctions, classes did not progress as efficiently as we would have liked. ) On the days we were unable to swim because of low water temperature, the emphasis placed upon water safety enabled the children to participate in Safety Stations and increase their knowledge and awareness of safe practices around the water. Hopefully, by next year the kinks will have been ironed out of the heating system and we can participate in the water on all class days. As you know, not all of our instructors held current Water Safety Instructor certifications from Red Cross. The on-site supervisor was a Water Safety Instructor and watched carefully, being mindful that we wanted the children to be taught Red Cross skills. Ten instructors had current Water Safety Instructor certifications, one was a Water Safety Instructor Aide and three had expired Water Safety Instructor certifications. Of those three, two had worked for the City as swimming instructors for three or more years and one had taught swimming at a private Swim School in Spring, Texas, and received excellent recommendations from the owner and manager of the Swim School. We encountered no problems with the teaching of the non-certified instructors. In fact, Ms. Inglis offered to let the WSI aide assist in her classes and told me that she would "teach her everything that I know". Later, when I asked her how that instructor had done, she reported, "Wonderful, she was the best instructor that you had working for you." If you want the City to continue to assist with the Fourth Grade Swimming Lessons and will notify me before the summer, I can keep my eyes open for suitable Water Safety Instructors and recruit them during the summer when we have a broader pool of '. employees to draw from. If students knewthat they might have a position teaching in the Fall, perhaps they could register for college classes that would fit in with the CSISD teaching schedule, and we would eliminate some of the MAW/F and T/Th class schedules. After six weeks of experience in the program, I see areas that we could improve upon. With some changes and additions, I feel that we can upgrade the program to benefit • students and teachers. Thank you again, for allowing the Department to work with you in teaching the children to swim. Anything that we can do that prepares children to become better swimmers and safer participants in water sports is beneficial for them and society. Please contact us if we can assist you in other ways. Sincerely, 1911/ Jenny H. Hartsfield Assistant Program Coordinator December 15, 1995 Dexter Inovejas • Carol Weldon Debbie Leland Kathy Hughes • I want to thank you for your participation on the Pebble Creek Park Development Committee.

In the past, cars have parked on both sides blocking streets which have created access problems for emergency vehicles, like ambulances and fire engines. In order to alleviate this problem, an area was cordoned off by staff and barricades at specific entries to the east gate area. The area cordoned was within the perimeters of Texas Avenue, Harvey Road, Munson Avenue, and University Drive East. 2. The Urban Tree Planting Program, funded by the Small Business Administration, has awarded College Station its third tree planting grant. The request is for a matching grant to offset the funding needed to install 164 trees along with a drip irrigation system in Sandstone Park. The proposal is based on a federal grant of $18,245, a local match of $14,927, and in-kind service to maintain the trees. The acceptance and funding of this project will greatly enhance the development of Sandstone Park, as a larger number of trees can now be planted. 3. Urban Fishing- The Parks Department has four fishing events coming up in the next couple of months. All of these include Rainbow Trout. First, on January 19, 20, and 21, the department has the 14th Annual Pool Trout Fish-Out at Adamson Lagoon. Then, on January 27, Central Pond will be stocked for the Kid Fish event. On February 1, Texas Parks & Wildlife will stock the larger Central Pond with 1,000 trout. The last stocking will occur at Cy Miller on February 7, when 2,000 trout will be released. All anglers over 15 and under 65 will be required to have a valid Texas fishing license, as well as a $7.00 fresh water trout stamp. The daily bag limit is five trout per angler.
