Summary of Motions from Regular Meeting of June 8, 2004
U.113 'TE ) T-CD (-t t-
LIGHTED SOCCER FIELDS (Placalc. PTIOV/5ele2
The College Station Soccer Club, Aggieland Soccer Club, and the Bryan-College Station Soccer League
(Adult) have been informed that mixed messages have been presented to the Parks Board and the City `Tit s' 151°
Council by some individuals in our clubs in regards to the needs for our organizations from the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board and the City Council.
This memo is an attempt to:
1) Clarify what we see as priority needs;
2) Identify what actions the city can take to help achieve these goals; and
3) Identify what actions the clubs will take to help achieve these goals.
1) As soccer has grown in our community, a need for lighted fields has become apparent. There
are approximately 1500 registered players in the three clubs playing in College Station. In the
past two years some of the needs have been addressed, with the opening of the spectacular
Veteran's Park; however, there is still a need for more lighted fields. At the current time there
are only four lighted fields available, (two at Veteran's Park and two at Southwood Athletic
Complex) two of which are only available during the Spring Season. Many parents are
unable during the fall and spring to get off of work,get their children and get to fields in time
to have any meaningful practice. Because most games are played on weekends during the
day, the primary need at the time is for lighting practice fields rather than game fields. While
adding additional lighted game fields is needed the most important need at this time are
lighted practice fields. The lighting of practice fields will remove practices from our current
lighted (game) fields at Veteran's Park, resulting in the availability of more lighted game
slots (if needed), and ensuring that our high quality game fields do not receive excessive
wear, allowing the city to maintain this jewel of a park.
2) Our Clubs would like to ask the City to determine if a less powerful lighting system
(compared to Veteran's) is acceptable for use at Central Park for soccer practice fields. A
less powerful lighting system would reduce the cost of lighting such fields. if acceptable,
then we would ask the City to recommend, approve, purchase and install lower-candlepower
lights at the Central Park soccer fields to serve primarily as soccer practice fields.
3) While realizing the costs of lights are expensive, our clubs are taking a multi-prong approach
to assist the City in addressing this need. A) We are putting together a joint grant between
our 3 clubs with the U.S. Soccer Federation to fund a lighting set for as many Central Park
fields as we can light. The submission deadline for this grant is December 1st. We intend to
ask for the limit of$100,000 from the USSF, and additional funds from other public granting
agencies. B) During the coming year we will organize some fund-raising activities
specifically geared at lighting these fields and/or additional fields at Veteran's Park.
4) What we request from you. A) That the City determine if a less powerful lighting system
(compared to Veteran's) for Central Park with the use of lower-candlepower lights for soccer
practice fields. B)We would like your support with our grant application. A letter of support
from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the City Council will help us immensely.
C) A matching funds statement from the City will help leverage funds from the granting
agencies. We ask that you consider what kind of direct matching level is feasible. D)Any
advice or suggestions that you may have.

Workshop #2
Joint Meeting with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board to Discuss Parks Issues
To: Tom Brymer, City Manager
From: Steve Beachy, Director of Parks & Recreation
Agenda Caption: Joint meeting with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board for discussion
and possible action regarding neighborhood parks improvements and proposal to
light soccer fields.
Recommendation(s): Discuss the issues with the Advisory Board and provide direction to staff
regarding additional projects for neighborhood parks and lights for soccer fields. The Advisory Board
will discuss these issues at their June 8th meeting and prepare a recommendation.
Summary: The initial report was presented to Council on April 29th as a follow-up from the February
26, 2004 Workshop report regarding several park issues.
At the conclusion of that meeting, Council directed staff to return at a later date with a plan and
funding options to address the issues of lighting additional soccer fields and providing improvements to
Eastgate and Steeplechase neighborhood parks. In addition, two other undeveloped neighborhood
parks, Woodland Hills and University Park, were included due to recent citizen interest in these sites.
The Council directed staff at the April 29th meeting to return at a later date for a joint meeting with the
Parks & Recreation Advisory Board to further discuss these issues. Staff also researched potential
designs that may reduce costs. However, it is determined that any savings would be minimal. The
Advisory Board is scheduled to discuss these issues at their regular meeting on June 8th and they will
report on any actions, priorities and other recommendations to the Council at the workshop meeting.
Budget and Financial Summary: The proposal to light 10 existing soccer fields would require
approximately $1,000,000 for design and construction and approximately $100,000 in annual
operating costs. This amount can be adjusted based on the actual number of fields that lights are
installed on. Also, approximately $1,107,000 would be required for the development of four
neighborhood parks. Annual operations and maintenance costs will be required for these additional
park facilities, and would be requested as part of the annual budget process.
All of these potential projects will require additional funding beyond current approved levels. The
scope and time table for implementation of these proposed projects can be adjusted as required based
upon funding availability and authorization.
Funding options that are being considered for these proposals include issuing debt in the form of
certificates of obligation, and using some one time funds from the General Fund fund balance that may
be available. The funding option recommended will depend on the level of funding needed for the
various projects.
The overall impact of any direction given will be reviewed again as part of the FY 05 budget process.

MEMORANDUM
To: College Station City Council
Date: June 9, 2004
Subject: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Report on 2004 Goals
The Board had a busy and productive year. Our goals, adopted at the beginning of the year are
attached with documentation under each of the thirteen main goals identified. Selected
highlights include:
• The Capital Improvement Program campaign was successful for the City of
College Station and for the Parks and Recreation Department; initial planning is
underway on several of the included items, with construction beginning on several
projects in FY 2005.
• Our neighborhood parks agenda has advanced with one new park under
construction (Southern Oaks), public hearings completed for Woodway Park,
adoption of a master plan for Eastgate Park, and numerous others considered for
improvements and development.
• Twenty-five new parkland dedication proposals were received and acted upon
during this past year.
• Continued oversight and refinement of the Parks Maintenance Standards was a
focus at several meetings. Improvements in reaching targeted standards were
observed. Focus is shifting to use of progress measurements for identifying
needed improvements, resource requirements, and prioritization in annual
budgeting process. The ratings have improved from 77% in December, 2002 to
90% in March, 2004.
• Expansion of Lincoln Center has been initiated in accordance with master plan
adopted last year. Construction has begun on the new game room, locker rooms,
parking lot, and basketball pavilion.
• Review and development of plans for improvements in the Arboretum; action on
a limited set of concerns with others awaiting the Bee Creek drainage project.
• Trails at Lick Creek Park completed and dedicated.
• Consideration of public input and Council concerns resulted in recommendations
regarding lighting of soccer fields and development of unfunded neighborhood
parks. Council has voted to include discussion of these funding requests in their
FY 2005 budget process.
The Board appreciates the confidence and support of the Council through policy direction and
provision of resources. We also wish to note that the attainment of these goals is largely due to
the productive and efficient staff of CSPARD. We will be pleased to respond to any questions or
concerns you may have.

Subject: Re: Parks Board Appointments by Council
Thanks, Pam. I have already applied for appointments and included
Parks as one of the options. Having served three terms on the Parks
Board, I assumed they may not want to extend an individual beyond that.
I am not sure if the three-term limit is a rigid one or simply
represents a logical limit that should normally be observed. And, there
are other roles that interested citizens can play.
You might also check with Steve regarding a possible resignation of
another Board member. If that person intends to do that, he should do
it in time so the Council could appoint someone to the remaining time on
that term. Steve is aware of the possiblity and better infomed than I
am.
