The meeting was called to order at 7:06 p.m.
I. Appoint Lincoln Recreation Center Advisory Committee Member — John motioned
to appoint A. C. Clark. Debra seconded, Bob abstained. The motion passed.
II. Discussion of Capital Improvement Program - The Board was given a list of potential
CIP projects. The Board and staff reviewed and discussed the preliminary list. John asked that
the following projects also be considered. 1) John stated that City Manager Skip Noe met with
Dr. Jim Scales and they discussed working together on building joint recreation facilities when
new schools are constructed. He stated that when that happens, there needs to be funds in the
budget for that joint project. 2) Establishing funding for a Greenways Plan to purchase land.
3) Obtain a user surcharge for adult softball for future renovation projects such as lights and
general upkeep and put it in a dedicated development fund. Steve stated that this would need
to be set up in the budget process if the Board decided that's what they wanted to do. It would
also take it out of the CIP list. Bob stated that the Board should consider requesting the same
surcharge for all adult users, and possibly youth. The Board decided to discuss this issue at the
next meeting. 4) Incremental increases in property taxes to pay for the acquisition and
development of future parks.
III. Appoint CIP Subcommittee — Elizabeth appointed John, Chris, and Bob to serve on the
subcommittee.
IV. Adjourn: The meeting adjourned at 9:37 p.m.

Exhibit A
An Illustration of How Incremental Increases in Property Taxes may
pay for the Acquisition and Development of Parks.
Zone C
Zone B
Zone A
1210 yds
50 acre park
T
Costs
• Acquisition and development of a 50-acre natural park area with some appealing
topographical and/or vegetation features.
• Assume cost of acquisition and development (fencing, trails, supplementary planting, some
landscaping) is $20,000 an acre, so total park capital cost is $1 million.
• Annual debt charges for a 20 year G.O. Bond on $1 million at 5% are approximately
$90,000.
Income
• If properties around the park are 2000 square foot homes on half -acre lots (40 yds x 60 yds)
with 40 yard frontages on to the park then there would be 70 lots in Zone A (30 lots along
each of the 1210 yard perimeters, and 5 lots along each of the 200 yard perimeters).
Assume total property taxes payable to city, county and school district are 2% of the market
value of the property.
• Assume market value of similar properties elsewhere in the jurisdiction, beyond the
immediate influence of this park is $200,000.
• Assume the desire to live close to a large natural park creates a willingness to pay a premium
of 20% for properties in Zone A, 10% in Zone B, and 5% in Zone C.

Thus, the incremental income from property taxes attributable to the presence of the park
(approximately $98,000) is sufficient to pay the annual debt charges (approximately $90,000) for
acquisition and development of the park.
