Maximum Possible Participation: 75 teams—675 participants under current system
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 97%
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: $40 for first in family and $35 for each additional in family.
Budget:
Expenditures: $28,585 includes 40% overhead of the actual cost of$20,349
Revenues: $16,271 this is 56% cost recovery
Survey Results (If available): Review attached surveys
Staff comments: This is a good program and has seen some significant participant
increases. We thought that the new tackle football programs in the area might hurt this
programs participant numbers, but just the opposite has occurred. We want the kids that
participate to enjoy a team sport, have fun and learn about the game of football. It is
working!
What are the benefits of the Program? Socializing, team atmosphere, health and
fitness, good for the community and education for the participants. Area businesses
receive athletic equipment sales.
Continue Program: Yes /No Why or why not? Yes, Because of all the benefits and
our participation is continuing to grow.
If continued, what changes should be made? We will make a few minor
adjustments to upcoming seasons. One is we will alter some of our equipment to
improve offense. We believe that we can increase more offense and allow more kids a
chance to score touchdowns with some minor equipment alterations. We think that kids
will enjoy the game even better when they score more.

5. If you could recommend 1 improvement to the program or facility what would it be?
We love sports and we love our flag football program.
+ Keep coaches informed that these are kids trying to have a good time. These are not
pro or high school players.
• To find more time to practice and stick with scheduled practices.
• That the coaches have more support from the program and the parents.
• The refs were not at all consistent with calling penalties and did not enforce the -tuck
in your shirt rule." Maybe the refs need more "before season" training so they will be
more consistent with calling penalties and enforcing all the rules.
• Better Coaches.
• Restrooms need to be closer.
• Have more teams!
• We played the same team too many times. No Restrooms.
• More footballs size K-2, they were limited in some practices and games.
+ Have refs at every game!
• Always have refs at every game.
Restrooms closer to the fields.
• You're doing a great job!
+ I think everything was great!
• Bathrooms closer and open.
+ Have the refs understand the rules and be consistent throughout each game. Different
refs had different rules.
• Bring back concessions—hot cocoa,popcorn, and water.
.4:4' Concession stand.
+ Bathrooms—closer; more consistency with refs and refs being present(this improved
as season went along).
+ More involvement by coaches in teaching the fundamentals.
+ We are happy and will be back next year.
Better and consistent officiating.
• Games are a little late.
• I recommend not letting more than 2 players request to be on the same team.
• Nothing! I think you're doing a great job!
+ en recruiting coaches, you might try to recruit referees. So far the "new kids"
have done a great job, but experience is always good to have.
• Complaing parents! The officials do a great job!
+ Let same age kids play each other.
+ Better seating.
+ Have refs enforce rules like four men on the LOS, etc.
Even the teams out and get coaches who know something about the game. Have
clinics to teach the coaches.
• A small drink/snack stand for the kids and the viewers.
• More advertisement to get more involvement.
+ I think the program ran very well; the games were on time, the facility was always
clean, and the call of the game were fair.
+ Have a longer season, so that practice might start 3 weeks earlier.
• Multiple phone lines for rainout number.
• Concessions!
• I would offer more flexibility on what they can do.(recover fumbles, punt, etc.)
Overall, everything seems to be great!
+ Concessions would be nice for when there are siblings playing back to back.
+ I think on the application you should ask the level of skill, perhaps 1-5 or 1-10.
Breaking the teams into equal sets of k,1 and 2nd graders does not make teams of
equal skill and capability. Second graders are not always strong players. Sometimes
they have less skill than other k's and 1 's.
• Usually I am a cronic complainer, but I can honestly say I have no complaints. Good
job by all!
+ Divide teams more evenly based on ages as well as how many years played Get rid
of the few coaches that push for win and only win. Keith Halvorson should be a
coach every year he has been wonderful!

Program Name: Adult Flag Football Program
Brief Description: This program has one season annually with a guarantee of ten
games. The season provides an eight game round robin on Sundays and a double
elimination tournament that is held at the end of the season on a weekend.
Location(s): Southwood Athletic Complex—The two large soccer fields convert into
one or two adult flag football fields
Date(s): Early September - mid November
Target Market Age: 16—No limit Gender: Male & Female
Number of participants: 11 teams - 143 participants
Maximum Possible Participation: 16 teams—224 participants under current system
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 97%
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: $340 per team
Budget:
Expenditures: $5,791 this includes 40% overhead of actual cost $4,136
Revenues: $3,962 this is 68% cost recovery
Survey Results (If available): Review attached surveys
Staff comments: This is a good program and has many customers that return year
after year. The program is basically at a stand still increasing or decreasing by one or two
teams each year. This program needs a good shake up to see if it can grow or if the
interest is not out there.
What are the benefits of the Program? Socializing, team atmosphere, health and
fitness, good for the community (churches, businesses, students, friends), area businesses
receive athletic equipment sales. Allows teams from our community to participate in a
state flag football tournament held by the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation. If we
continue to the program we could bid to host the TAAF state flag football tournament
which brings in approximately 75 teams during the first full weekend in December.
Continue Program: Yes /No Why or why not? Yes at the current time, but I would
like to make some changes to see if there is any interest for it to grow. If the program is
not recovering enough cost then consider a fee increase. Currently the program is within
policy.
If continued, what changes should be made? We would like to move the season a little bit
later to allow for college students to participate. We would like to gradually increase the
fee to help recover more cost. We will need to increase officials pay soon. This has been
needed for quite some time and we are about the lowest in the state. Our current pay to
the association is $23.00 per game. The City of Carrollton is paying$45.00 per game to
an association. The Cit of Abilene is in. $39.00 ser ame. The Cit of Austin is
paying $27.50 per game.

6. Please provide us with any ideas that could improve the program or facility?
• Consider having league during the week, allows more people to participate.
.-- Play yearly with experienced officials.
• Have drinks for players.
• Just keep it up and make it longer.
.-- Snack bar.
• Have the program all year round. The teams in the city's have so why can't we do
the same.
- Play year round.
.-- Tell the officials that they don't have as much power as they think they have.
• Cheaper entry fee; year round football needed to have a greater advantage when going
to state tourneys.
• Need better training of officials, more year leagues. Need equal opportunities and
not just the other sports. More advertising to spread the word
• Year round football, more qualified refs.
• Year round football.
• Entry fee too high to quick from recent years. Try to have year round football.
• The ref that is a minority(she) is rude and calls unreasonable calls.
• I feel that the program was overall with the officials better than last year.
• A few more games.
• To picky on rain outs.
• Get more refs.
• More than 1 season or more games.
• Let us play when it rains. H
• ave a 2nd season.
• Play in the rain.
• Spring league and tougher enforcement of the rules.
• More games/2nd season.

main goal is to teach the girls about the game of softball while allowing them to have fun
doing it.

7. If you could make one recommendation for the improvement of the league what
would that recommendation be?
Response:
Consistency & follow through, communication with parents.
Make sure all teams have proper ID for each girl and they are in correct age bracket.
The way they were [the girls] were broken up into teams.
*Doing a Great Job!*
Earlier communication with coaches.
Larger restrooms
Games either on weekends or V2 hour later in the day.
Keep the girls with their own age group.
All team rosters have same number of players on them. If one is removed, try to
replace with another.
Keep the girls of same ages together. If they are too young, they could get hurt with
the older girls.
More practice time!
More access to practice time and facilities.
Send flyers home from Elementary school with information about the program. We
live in Bryan, and to my knowledge, we don't get info sent home with our kids. We
love playing softball with the BVGSA in the fall.
Some sort of heat where people could warm up.
Better coaches.
Wish coaches did not pitch for the 9-10 yr olds.
Get flyers to schools before soccer signup. There was not enough girls 5.7 to have
teams this season.
More players.
Get rid of coach's pitch at the 9-10 level, steals from third need to be allowed, and
use the ASA rules.
No coach pitching.
Have the girls try out instead of coaches picking certain girls to be on their team.
Consistencey in umpires they are very different at times.
Coach the girls as if the league was ASA, You should be able to steal third, drop third
strike, no 4 outfielders, no coach pitch, no 5 run rule.
I would not allow one team to select their team from previous all stars as is allowed.
An equal ability draft should be used.
Hold a coaches clinic where coaches could learn drills and fundamentals to teach
girls.
I think you all do a good job with the girls.
Start season earlier in the fall. Start date on September 15.
Better communication to coaches. Better distribution of talent to teams.

Program Name: Youth Basketball
Brief Description: To provide a basketball program for boys and girls so they have
the opportunity to learn about basketball and a team sport. This program is provided one
season annually.

Rock Prairie, Cypress Grove, and Pebble Creek.

Revenues: 25,047.00 this is at 58% cost recovery
Survey Results (If available): Review attached results
Staff comments: This is a fun but difficult program to operate. We are spread out
all over the city with seven different facilities. Parents with multiple children in different
grades or different genders have to figure out how to get each child to and from practices
or games. Many accomplish the task because they like the program.
What are the benefits of the Program? This programs gives kids an opportunity to
learn basic skills of basketball as well as what it is like to be a member of a team sport. It
is done at a good time when outside activities are almost at a stand still. Education, part-
time employment, social activity and general life skills.
Continue Program: Yes /No Why or why not? Yes! It provides a good opportunity
for the people in our community to participate in team sports.
If continued, what changes should be made? We are constantly using feedback from the
surveys to enhance this program. We are still trying to find ways to cut cost without
cutting quality. It takes a lot of employees and volunteers to operate this program. We
would like to drop the number of paid employees and try to provide more volunteers. We
are planning to add an additional week of team practice at the beginning of the season.

Staff comments: This is a great program and it is expanding into a year around

sponsorship.
What are the benefits of the Program? Providing athletic activities for mentally and

employment, offering volunteer opportunities for those that want to help, and provides
skills for students at Texas ATM that someday want a career in this type of field (helping

Continue Program: Yes /No Why or why not? Yes! Because we have a great
sponsor, the community supports it, the City supports it and the families are happy that
we are providing it to them.
If continued, what changes should be made? We should continue to seek CMN as a
sponsor and now that we are beginning to show a budget history prepare accordingly to
request funds to help cover cost. Add more days to this program, at least ten days.
Consider asking CSISD to provide facilities to help with growth.

Revenues: $3,950.00 this is at 96% cost recovery
Survey Results (If available): Review attached results
Staff comments: This program is brand new and we did not do a SLA to increase
our budget. This program has been wanted by some of the community for a while. This
was a joint program with the City of Bryan. We have been asked to add another season.
After reviewing the expenditures and revenues I think we should move forward in
providing another season. However, if we add another season we will need additional
money in our budget. We would like to provide the new season of volleyball in the fall
of 2003.
What are the benefits of the Program? Education, social activity, learn about a team
s•ort •eneral life skills •art-time em•lo rnent health & fitness
Continue Program: Yes /No Why or why not? Yes, because the community likes it
and it provides an activity for kids when they get out of school for the summer.
If continued, what changes should be made? According to our survey—the majority of
participants would prefer to participate in College Station. They did not like the joint
programming and thought it made communication problems in the program. May need to
add additional practices.

Bryan Parks and Recreation
2002 Youth Volleyball Survey
Comments:
If you prefer more practice time, how much more and why?
In general the majority of the surveys that requested yes,more practice time,requested at least 1-2
additional practices a week before and during the season in order for the girls to learn more and play better
as a team. Some other requests are additional practices during the weekend and maybe even start the
season 1-2 weeks earlier so that they could get more practice in.
Do you feel like the teams were evenly distributed athletically?
The 9 surveys that answered no,complained about the two teams that came in from Bryan. The team that
was going into 9th grade was kicked out of the program and the other team that was an all 8t1 grade team
had played together previously. Some other comments or ideas that were presented were to have try outs or
pick names randomly. Some of the surveys emphasized that players be evenly distributed on the teams and
to inform all of the participants how that process would take place.
Name one positive aspect that you got out of this program?
A few of the surveys stated that their daughters gained a great deal of experience.For a lot of these girls
this was their first time playing Volleyball. They gained a positive and confident attitude coming out of the
program. Some of the parents enjoyed their daughters interacting with new people and equal playing time
amongst all athletes.A couple of comments that were made are that they enjoyed the exposure of youth
volleyball prior to 7th grade. Anther positive aspect the girls received was individualized coaching. The
overall comment from this question was that the girls truly enjoyed playing the game.
Name one negative aspect that you got out of this program?
Numerous comments that were made on this question were about the joint program with Bryan. Practicing
and playing games in Bryan (at the Neal Recreation Center)was definitely a negative aspect in this
program. Traveling to Neal Recreation in Bryan was a burden to a lot people. They complained about their
safety due to practices and games being held at night. Lack of communication between Bryan and College
Station. Nobody was properly informed of the practice changes and they did not know where the practices
were supposed to be held. The gyms were not set up in Bryan and the staff did not know that the gyms
were reserved for volleyball. Again,the lack of practice was another concern that was addressed in the
surveys. One of the last subjects that were a mentioned on the surveys was substitution and the lack of.
There were a few comments on athletes not liking to sit out entire games and they felt that substitution
would balance out the amount of playing time.

2002 Youth Volleyball Survey
If you could recommend one improvement to the program or facility what would it be?
There were three major points that were touched upon throughout the entire survey.
® The frustration of driving all the way to Bryan to practice and play games
® More practices
® Not to have a break between games
For example: the two week break that everyone had due to the fact the AMCMS was closed.
A few other concerns or recommendations were:
® To use an electronic scoreboard or to put the scorekeeper on the opposite side of the fans
® To have a tournament at the end of the season

°Pr Five Year Strategic Plan
COLLEGE STATION
L DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is responsible for the design, construction,
and operation of park facilities and the development and implementation of recreation
programs in College Station. The Department is comprised of five divisions: Administration,
Recreation, Special Facilities, Parks Operations, and Forestry.
• The Administration Division provides design and administration for all approved PARD
capital improvement projects and provides graphics support for the Department. The
Division also serves as a primary customer contact point for the Department, and provides
administrative assistance to other departments and divisions.
• The Recreation Division provides recreational, leisure, and educational programs and
opportunities. These include:
- Athletic programs to meet the needs and desires of citizens of all ages, interests,
and skill levels, and high quality athletic events that attract ut® visitors to
the community which increase prosperity and economic growth.
- Senior Services continuing education programs, instructional programs, and
leisure activities that encourage positive mental, physical, and social development.
- Programs and Special Events at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater and the
annual Christmas in the Park Program. A variety of other special events are offered
for the enjoyment of local citizens and enhance local tourism, promote community
pride, and increase business and hotel/motel revenue.
- Kids Klub, which utilizes College Station Independent School District (CSISD)
facilities to make after-school care available for the citizens of College Station. It
provides the opportunity for the participants to experience activities that result in
positive, cognitive, physical, social, and emotional youth development.
The Special Facilities Division provides operation of Xtra Education and instructional
programs, the municipal pools, the City's Conference Center, the Lincoln Recreation
Center, and The EXIT Teen Center. These services include.
- Instruction programs for the youth, adult, and senior populations in our community
through continuing education and instructional and leisure activities that encourage
positive mental, physical, and social development of our citizens.
- Aquatic services provide the public with the safe, clean, attractive, professional
operation of three city-owned pools and one CSISD pool. Activities include open
swim, adult lap swim, pool parties, rentals, as well as support of the swim
instruction program, competitive swim program, and the Texas Public Pool
Council.
DRAFT
1
- The Conference Center offers clean, convenient meeting space and
accommodations through excellent customer service, at a reasonable fee for local
citizens and out-of-town clients. The Center provides meeting planning, room
setup, event clean up, equipment rentals, and catering service coordination.
- The Lincoln Recreation Center provides a positive, drug-free environment where
citizens and visitors can enjoy programming for a reasonable fee. The Center
provides a clean, safe, attractive facility for an assortment of activities that include
youth athletics, educational programming, tutoring, cultural events, and meeting and
event rental space.
- The EXIT Teen Center Programs utilize the Teen Center, park facilities, schools,
and other public and private facilities to make programs easily accessible for
College Station's youth population to create positive mental, physical, and social
development.
a The Parks Operation Division provides attractive, safe, well-maintained parks and public
facilities, and assists in the production and implementation of special events. Presently,
the Division maintains 32 parks, which include 550.69 acres, 36 playground units, 37
athletic fields, and various non-park city properties. The Division also coordinates the
Urban Fishing and "Parks Bucks" Programs, and serves as a support group for Christmas
in the Park, the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor, state and national tournaments, and various
other recreational and special events throughout the year.
The Forestry Division provides aesthetically pleasing and safe landscaped areas and
trees at municipal buildings and park locations. The Division is responsible for urban tree
care and landscape maintenance at the municipal buildings and park sites; outdoor
displays for "Christmas in the Park," Christmas tree recycling, the Municipal Cemetery,
support of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor; and coordinating park maintenance activities with
the Parks Operations Division. The Division is also responsible for all irrigation systems
owned by the City.
IL COMMUNITY and REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
It is anticipated that the City of College Station's population will continue to expand at an
annual increase of two and one half percent. This is based on the assumption that Texas
A&M University and Blinn College will continue to drive the local economy along with
moderate and sustained growth in the private sector. It is then assumed that demand for
front-line services will also grow at a proportional rate.
Indicators of growth include population, building activity, rate of unemployment, franchise fee
income, and ad valorem and sales tax revenues. The City of College Station has not
experienced the same level of economic downturn faced by other areas in Texas and the
nation due to the insulating nature of Texas A&M University on the local economy.
The 2000 Census reported the population to be 67,890. This represented a 29% increase in
population over the past years. This growth is anticipated to continue by two to three percent
per year over the next five years to an estimated population of between 78,000 and 82,200 by
2007.

• Commercial, single family and multi family residential construction continue to be strong,
although a gradual decline is anticipated over the next five years.
• Brazos County has maintained an unemployment rate of less than four percent since
1990. The local economy has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state and the
nation. Locally employment is expected to remain relatively strong.
• The City has experienced a 129% increase in the tax base since 1992 and a 9.4%
increase in the last year with 5.72% being due to new development and 3.68% due to
revaluations. This growth pattern is expected to continue, although at a tempered pace.
• The sales tax is the largest single revenue source for the City's General Fund, accounting
for approximately 42% of General Fund revenues. Although sales taxes have gradually
increased in College Station over the past two years, many Texas cities have faced a
significant decline in these revenues.
• Utility revenues continue to increase from year to year and are expected to maintain that
pattern. Changes in revenues have been affected by purchased power costs, rate
changes, and weather conditions.
• Franchise fee revenue is expected to continue to gradually decline due to FCC
regulations, fewer land telephone lines being utilized, as well as the increased popularity
of satellite television.
Economic and fiscal indicators demonstrate that the local economy has shown moderate and
sustained growth. This growth has tempered in the past two years, directly impacting the
City's ability to provide services, although revenue growth continues to appear to be equal to
the costs of maintaining current service levels. There is however concern that this margin will
decline. Staff continues to monitor various indicators of economic and fiscal health of the
community.
Ill. SWOT ANALYSIS

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are key recommendations and priorities for the next five years:
1. Continue to work on the City Council Strategies and the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board Goals.
2. Completion of the 1998 Bond Program and development and implementation of the 2003
Bond Program.
3. Technology and marketing enhancements to efficiently increase and improve services for
the Parks and Recreation Department's customers.
4. Use of the Park Maintenance Standards, the Urban Forest Management Plan, and the
2003 Bond Program to meet the future maintenance needs over the next five years.
5. Investigate and implement new sources of revenue to help support demand for additional
leisure services.
VII. CONCLUSION
The Parks and Recreation Department will be challenged over the next five years to meet
increasing demands in growth for existing programs and to meet requests for new services.
Continued growth of the park system will require additional resources to maintain park
maintenance standards at approved service levels.
The 2003 Bond Program will provide challenges to the department and City to implement the
program and to provide for sufficient maintenance support. Future decisions regarding the
recently adopted Park Maintenance Standards and the Urban Forest Management Plan will
have a substantial impact on needs for additional funding.
Improvements in the use of technology and new marketing tools will be needed to improve
services for the department's customers.
