P a, t g I ovf � parks and A!evreafiore Board RegWay jUeednig Tuesday, May 8, 2001 Ric stated t "it based on the knowledge gained from the public hearing, it was evident that there would be a shortage of funds. He said the preliminary budget estimates have been put together however, they haven't been discussed. Ric explained that finding a location had been dif"Ificult. He stated that the Parks arid Open Space Master Plan calls for the addition of Teri tennis courts Toy 2005, but does not specify a location. Since a total of twelve courts will be added by fall 2001 (Willow Branch, the high school, and the junior high), that goal has been met. Afthoug]bi the tennis court facility at Southwood Athletic Parkr was designed so that more courts could be added, two of the skate park conceptual designs that staff presented proposed building the facility there in lieu of the tennis counts. The concrete could be designed so that if the skate park ever moved or became unpopular, the basic in astruct-tee could easily be converted into three tennis courts by rernoving the equipment and installing the court surface, Ric explained that Council has the option of allowing $50,000 of the 1998 bond money (designated for tennis couirts), to be used along with the $162,000 thafs avoilalble in order to help vifth the iffind-ing. Approxii-nately $450,000 will be needed to build a 20,000 - 22,000 s9yare foot facility, which would include lights, equipment, ffencing, and a shade cover. The skate park would be separated frorn the tenruS courts with fences and walkways. This is roughly twice as big as what could be built with the manney available, yet, according to oTae skate park opezrator Ric tallked to, it would still be -half the size of what's needed. Discussion foliowed regarding building the facility in other areas of Southwood Athletic Padx and the problems associated with building in those locations. George reco-mmended looking into and having a viable alternative for tennis court locations. Ric stated that one of the designs presented allowed for additional tennis courts to be built at a later time o-?, to acid to the skafe, park, The, shape of the facility will not be determined until the design eff-ort takes place. John C. suggested presenting several options to Council, with one being the optimum scherne, The Park could be built in Phases. Hours of operation whether to charge admission, to the park, and how those fees would be collected, hnqtie not, been decided. John N. felt those decision's should be made before its preserLited to Council. Ric said some of it would be decided as part of the budget process currently taking place. JohrD C. made a motion to pursue the, design of the skateboard parlik in Sout1hwood Ati-flefic facility. Bill Davis and Glenn Schroeder both seconded the motion. Ric stated that an engineer would have to be hired to design the concrete portion of the project, but Parks,- Planning could do the remainder of the design specifications, which will swje money. There was no opposition, and the motion passed rknanimously. 6), zrad poaeRllbqe- avflof@ Teak -d q0 he jfjodmu naeelf.,mg vywth �`b"'-e 104Y COURICUI rLI:IM hft7y fR, 2001- Steve passed out copies of the Council agenda, with all items highlighted, tdhiat pertained to Pirks & Recreation.

The tax rate would be set in the budget process. Page 2 of 4 Parks and Recreation Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 8, 2001 John C. stated that he had drafted a list Born the boars l goals and budget priorities, of items that identify 'things the board would like to have happen, quickly, and which Council could act upon quickly - perha, ps while on their annual retreat the week after the joint meet-ing.

The sculpture, entitled "Memoire", is in memory of Emilie Schirk, an emigrant and widow who kept her ten children warm and well fed through the Great Depression and World War 11 with great personal sacrifice. In the hardest of times, she worked extra jobs and even sold her possessions to keep the family together, and still found time to share her love of fishing. The bronze grouping was completed by Russell Cushman for Muggs (Schirk) Gardner, in cooperation with the City of Bryan Parks and Recreation Department. It is dedicated to all of our mothers on Mother's Day, May 13, 2001. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 4:00 — 5:00 pm at the City of Bryan Heritage Park, located at the coiner of Hutchins and 3 1 " Streets. Thank you for your consideration of this invitation. The entire Bryan Community would feet honored and privileged with your attendance. Please respond to Linda Giffen at (979) 209-5200 at your earliest convenience.

We urge you to consider the following priorities in these discussions: The Acquisition of land for neighborhood parks prior to development. This issue is discussed in the attached memorandum. 1 The staff inform us that 18 of the city's 29 playgrounds do not conform to the Federal Consumer Product Safety Institute standards for playgrounds. In some cases, the violations are relatively minor, but in others they require that the whole playground be replaced. To rectify the situation, the city is currently budgeting sufficient to replace about two playgrounds per year. In our view, this is not an adequate response to the problem. A preliminary staff estimate of the cost to bring all playgrounds up to code is $200,000 - $250,000. We urge that funds for this purpose be budgeted this year, and that a renovation fund of $50,000 dedicated to playgrounds be established so that an orderly program of replacing two a year can be instigated in the future to avoid a recurrence of this situation. 3. The Council has budgeted $150,000 for a skateboard park. This was originally to be a roller park, but the public hearings made it clear that the community's need was for a skateboard rather than a roller park. This is a more expensive facility, and it seems likely the cost will be in the $200,000 - $225,000 range. We urge that the allocation budgeted for this facility be increased accordingly. 4. The Council adopted the Greenways Plan over 2 years ago. It was the product of a grass roots citizen effort which eventually evolved into a formal Greenways Implementation Task Force. We urge that an independent Citizen Advisory Committee be established for Greenways. There is a wealth of expertise on Greenways available among citizens in this community, and the considerable community interest in them was confirmed by the supportive vote for funding in the last bond issue. An Advisory Board would provide visibility for the city's efforts in greenways which is currently lacking. An Advisory Board would serve as a source of guidance and support for staff as they respond to new greenways' opportunities and revised priorities.

Chris Barzilla, Chair, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board SUBJECT: 2001 - 2002 Council Goals and Budget We are aware that the Council will be having its annual retreat mid -May to establish goals and to discuss the budget. At its May 8th meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously passed a resolution urging the Council to consider the following priorities at their retreat. The Acquisition of land for neighborhood parks prior to development. This issue is discussed in the attached memorandum. 2. The staff informed us that 18 of the City's 29 playgrounds do not conform to the Federal Consumer Product Safety Institute standards for playgrounds. In some cases, the violations are relatively minor, but in others they require that the whole playground be replaced. To rectify the situation, the Parks and Recreation Department is currently budgeting sufficiently to replace about two (2) playgrounds per year. In our view, this is not an adequate response to the problem. No detailed analysis has been undertaken of the cost for bringing all playgrounds up to code, but the "best guess" from the staff was approximately $200,000. We urge that a detailed analysis be undertaken and funded. We also urge that funds for this purpose be budgeted for Fiscal Year 2002, and that an additional annual renovation fund of $50,000 be established and dedicated to playgrounds so that an orderly program of replacing two (2) playgrounds a year can be instigated in the future to avoid a recurrence of playgrounds failing to meet safety standards. The Council has budgeted $162,000 for a skateboard park. This estimate is now two (2) years old and was originally to be a roller hockey park. The public hearings made it clear that the community's need was for a skate park, rather than a roller hockey park. This is a more expensive facility, and it seems likely that the cost for an optimal facility would be around $450,000. We urge that the allocation budgeted for this facility be substantially increased beyond the $162,000 currently budgeted. 4. The Council adopted the Greenways Plan over two (2) years ago. It was the product of a "grass roots" citizen effort, which eventually evolved into a formal Greenways Implementation Task Force. We urge that an independent Citizen Advisory Committee be established for greenways. There is a wealth of expertise on greenways available among citizens in this community, and the considerable community interest in them was confirmed by the supportive vote for funding in the last bond issue.
