The only park in that zone is John Crompton Park and staff was recommending acceptance of the cash dedication in order to use the money to enhance Crompton Park. It would be particularly helpful for developing the additional acreage that the city had just acquired to finish out Crompton Park. After brief discussion, Glenn S. moved acceptance of the recommendation to take the cash dedication in lieu of land, and Gary T. seconded. The vote was called. All were in favor and the motion carried unanimously. The building is wheelchair accessible. Handicap parking spaces are available. Any request for sign interpretive services must be made 48 hours before the meeting. To make arrangements call (979) 764-3517 or (TDD) 1-800-735-2989. 6. Reoort. discussion and Dossible action recardinc Dotential chances to the, Park Land Dedication Ordinance. Steve stated that this revision had been ongoing for over a year and was the latest version adapting the Park Land Dedication Ordinance into the Unified Development Ordinance. The Park Land Dedication Ordinance was basically the same - none of the fee amount requirements had changed nor had the purpose of the ordinance changed. The current changes for review were discussed. • If a phased development aoes in, the developer will now have to dedicate all of the. Dropertv dedication uD front. This will probably be an item of contention with some developers. Development Services will have to push the developer now to master plan all of the property. • Cash and land dedications (three acres or less) below a certain amount could be Drocessed on an administrative level with a recommendation straiaht to Plannina & Zonina.. This would provide a means of taking the Parks Board out of the loop. There would be criteria in place, and if the land didn't meet the criteria it would come back to the Parks Board. Since Planning & Zoning meets twice a month and Parks board only meets once, it could save thirty days or more, from the developer's standpoint, towards moving the development process forward. The needs of the Parks Board could be met with a monthly report and staff would still see the proposed dedications in order to catch possible problems. Jodi's reservation was that once this became part of the ordinance, it might cause the city to miss out on future pocket parks. Ric said this would only eliminate the dedications that were being subdivided or that were straightforward. Jodi requested that the board continue to be advised by a monthly report if this clause was approved. • The developer would now have the option to develop the oark. There would be a series of items that would allow staff to control the process, with the developer being given certain standards and set dates that he would be required to meet, as well as conditions of acceptance and warranty requirements. This topic was the major reason that the Park Land Dedication Ordinance had been redone. If the developer built the park, the city would not have to bid out the project and do all of the contract administration. A developer could probably build the park cheaper than the city and it would save time since the park would be developed sooner, along with the subdivision. The list of standards was pretty inclusive as to the quality and scope of what would be accepted. The manual had been completed already and would be given to the developers. • Floodplain. Historically, the city has accepted floodplain at a greater ratio than has been required but those terms had never been spelled out. • Warranty Reauirements. Warranty requirements had been included which were not in the original ordinance, with the language straight out of the city's construction contract. Steve stated that Planning and Zoning had not reviewed the draft yet and he wanted to hold a joint meeting in order to discuss this with them at one of their regular meetings. Gary T. suggested that the ordinance include a clause stating that if a park land dedication was going to be less than three acres, the Parks Board had to be notified. Glenn S. stated that on page 7, under item V, the terminology stated that "an administrator could allow an extension". He stated that this was the only place he saw "Administrator" and wanted to know if that was the city manager or his designee. Steve said he would have to check and see who was being referred to. Steve said he would pass along the suggestions given. Page 2 of 4 Don A. made a recommendation to move forward with this and to schedule a joint discussion/meeting with Planning & Zoning. Glenn S. seconded. Jodi stated that, being a recommendation, no vote was required. 7. Review. discussion. and possible action concernin4 Board and Departmental. Goals and Obiectives. and Citv Council Strateaic Plan. ■ As reported at the last meeting, the first appraisal for the regional park had been received for 4,600± acres of land. The contract with the appraiser had been amended to do an appraisal on the entire 10,000 acres, which had been received. That appraisal had come in at a little over $872 per acre. The appraisal would be presented to the TMPA Board on September 8th in Denton. The State Conservation Fund and Grimes County representatives will be in attendance at that meeting. The Conservation Fund will also assist Grimes County with funding through grants with other non-profit organizations. Steve stated that on July 13th he, John Crompton, and Don Fazzino would be meeting with local representative for Chet Edwards, Lindsay Davis, to see if there was the potential for federal funding. There was also the potential for funding through Texas Highway Department. ■ The construction for Steeplechase Park would probably start in the fall and was currently in the design phase. • Jodi asked if anything was in the works for a park in Northgate. Steve stated that a water fountain was planned to go in, but there was no park plan at the present time. • One of the members asked about the status of the Urban Forest Management Plan and if anything had been done to move forward with it. Steve stated that nothing was being done at the present time. Steve passed out a copy of the report prepared by the consultant facilitating the recent council retreat to all the members. The four main issues that came out of the retreat as being priorities were: • growth management; • economic development; • collaboration - (College Station was not viewed as being open to collaboration with other agencies); and • neighborhood issues. Steve encouraged the Board to read through the report. Hearing no further discussion, this item was closed. S. Report. discussion, and possible action concernin4 the Capital Improvement, Proaram. • The Park Land Dedication Project List had been included in the members' packets. The most important project at present was Crompton Park. A lot of progress was being made. An important factor was that the purchase had been completed on the adjacent land. Ric stated that he been working on that purchase for approximately ten years. A lot of underbrush would need to be cleared to get to the pond and for the disc golf course, but this would be a great park once it was completed. • The Capital Improvement Project List had been included in members' packets. • Veterans Park and Athletic Complex, Phase II N The design for this project was moving forward. • Steeplechase N This project was about ten days away from going out to bid. Page 3 of 4 • The Spray Park change order for a filter recirculation system had been approved at Ithe last council meeting and the design for that was moving forward. • Construction on the Jack & Dorothy Miller Park basketball court cover was beginning. 9. Discussion of next meetina dates and uossible aaenda items. • Next Regular Meeting would be August 9, 2005. At that meeting a report will be given about the landfill park site in Colorado visited by Ross Albrecht. A recreation center report based on that same visit will be given in October. • September Regular Meeting N September 13, 2005 • National Kids Day will be held at the Lincoln Center this year to take advantage of the new pavilion. The new fitness room there will be dedicated at same time. Lincoln Center had received the fitness equipment for the room from the College Station Medical Center. • Recognition plaques were given to outgoing board members Larry Farnsworth and Don Allison for their support and service on the board. Steve stated that everyone appreciated their leadership and guidance and that they would be missed. 10. Adiourn. Don A. moved to adjourn the meeting, with a second from Larry F. Jodi called for vote.

Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements. NO LAND DEDICATION IS PROPOSED (a) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users. Comments: (b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. Comments: (c) Sites should not be severely sloped or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. Comments: (d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. Comments: (e) Detention/retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention/retention area design must be approved by the City staff and must meet specific parks specifications. Comments: 10-F. 2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety, and minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. The following guidelines should be used in designing parks and adjacent development: NO LAND DEDICATION IS PROPOSED (a) Where physically feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to greenways and/or schools in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co -development of new sites. Comments: (b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street and greenway connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks. Comments: (c) Where a non-residential use must directly abut a park, the use must be separated by a screening wall or fence and landscaping. Access points to the park may be allowed by the Planning and Zoning Commission if a public benefit is established. Comments: (d) It is desirable that a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park should abut a public street. In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks. Comments: (e) Streets abutting a park shall be built in accordance with the thoroughfare plan and the standards of this ordinance; however, the City may require any residential street built adjacent to a park to be constructed to collector width to ensure access and prevent traffic congestion. The developer may request oversize participation in such an instance. Comments: Staff Recommendations: Acceptance of fees for land and development. Park Zone 7 is served by the new John Crompton Park (15.26 acres) located at the intersection of Holleman and the future extension of Jones Butler Road. Section 10-G: Approval: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board: At the regular meeting of the Board on July 12, 2005, the Board voted unanimously to accept the staff recommendation of the fees for land and development in the amount of $106,672.

By amending SECTION 10: "Requirements for Park Land Dedication" by deleting the entire section. 2. By amending SECTION 12: "Rural Residential Subdivision Regulations" by deleting the current paragraph 12-B "Applicable Sections", to read as follows. "Sections 1 — 7, 9 of this ordinance and Article 8.4 of the Unified Development Ordinance are applicable in their entirety to rural residential subdivisions." That Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance", of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, is hereby amended as follows: 3. By amending ARTICLE 8: "Subdivision Design and Improvements" adding a new Section 8.5, "Requirements For Parkland Dedication" to read as follows. 8.5 Requirements For Parkland Dedication A. Purpose This section is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks as a function of subdivision and site development in the City of College Station. This section is enacted in accordance with the home rule powers of the City of College Station, granted under the Texas Constitution, and the statutes of the State of Texas, including, but not by way of limitation, Texas Local Government Code Chapter 212 (Vernon 1999; Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). It is hereby declared by the City Council that recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to provide for neighborhood parks is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure for planning and developing property or subdivisions in the city, whether such development consists of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of structures on existing residential property. Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and located within convenient distances from a majority of the culc:Idocume—llpsprin—lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland. doe 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 3 residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks and Recreation Department and shown on the official Parks and Recreation map for the City of College Station shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne by the ultimate residential property owners who, by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, the following requirements are adopted to affect the purposes stated above and shall apply to any land to be used for residential purposes: B. General Requirements The City Manager or his designee shall administer this Section 8.5, Requirements for Parkland Dedication with certain review, recommendation and approval authorities being assigned to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Dedications shall cover both land acquisition and development costs for neighborhood parkland for all types of residential development. Dedications shall be based on actual dwelling units for the entire development. Increases or decreases in final unit count prior to final plat will require an adjustment in fees paid or land dedicated. If the actual number of dwelling units exceeds the original estimate additional parkland shall be dedicated in accordance with the requirements in this Section 8.5 with the filing of a final plat. The methodology used to calculate fees and land dedications is attached hereto as Appendix 1 and incorporated and made a part of this ordinance for all purposes. Fees paid under this Section may be used only for development or acquisition of a neighborhood park located within the same zone as the development. 1. Land Dedication For single family developments the area of land to be dedicated for parkland purposes shall be equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred one (101) dwelling units. For duplex and other multi -family development this area shall be equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred twenty-five (125) dwelling units. culc:Idocume—llpsprin—lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland. doe 717105 ORDINANCE NO. The total amount of land dedicated for the development shall be dedicated in fee simple by plat: a. Prior to the issuance of any building permits for multi family development, or where a plat is not required under the Unified Development Ordinance or b. For a phased development the entire park shall be platted concurrently with the plat of the first phase of the development. 2. Fee in Lieu of Land Page 4 The amount of the Fee -in -Lieu of Land ("Fee") shall be set at an amount sufficient to cover the costs of the acquisition of neighborhood parkland. A landowner may elect to meet the requirements of Section 8.5.B.1., in whole or in part, by paying a fee in the amount set forth below. Before making this election, for any required dedication greater than three (3) acres, or for any development containing floodplain or greenway, the landowner must: a. Obtain a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and b. Obtain approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission pursuant to the Plat Approval Procedures in Article 3.3 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The fee shall be calculated as follows: • One hundred ninety-eight dollars ($198.00) per dwelling unit for single family development One hundred sixty dollars ($160.00) per dwelling unit for duplex and multi family development. culc: Idocume—Ilpsprin—Illocals—Iltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. The total amount of the Fee calculated for the development shall be remitted: Prior to the issuance of any building permits for multi family development, or where a plat is not required under the Unified Development Ordinance or • Upon submission of each final plat for single family, duplex or townhouse development. Page 5 Fees may be used only for acquisition or development of a neighborhood park located within the same zone as the development. The City Manager or his designee is authorized to accept the Fee for dedications of less than three (3) acres where: • There is no floodplain or greenway • If there is a sufficient amount of parkland existing in the park zone of the proposed development or • The proposed dedication is insufficient for a Neighborhood Park site. culc:Idocume--Ilpsprin--Illocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 6 This determination shall be made based on the Recreation, Park & Open Space Master Plan, as amended from time to time. s. Park Development Fee In addition to the land dedication, there shall also be a fee established that is sufficient to develop the land to meet the Manual of Neis4hborhood Park Improvements Standards. to serve the zone in which such development is located. This fee shall be computed on the basis of three hundred fifty-eight dollars ($358.00) per dwelling unit for single family developments and two hundred ninety-two ($292.00) for duplex and multi -family development. The total fee shall be paid upon submission of each final plat or upon application for a building permit, whichever is applicable. 4. Park Development Option in Lieu of Fee A landowner may elect to construct the neighborhood park improvements in lieu of paying the Park Development Fee under the following terms and conditions: a. A park concept plan, developed in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Department staff, must be submitted to the City Manager or his designee for review. A concept plan approved by the Director of Parks and Recreation and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is required upon submission of each final plat or upon application for a building permit, whichever is applicable. b. Within twelve (12) months from the date of said submission or application the landowner shall submit detailed plans and specifications in compliance with the Concept Plan to the City Manager or his designee for review and approval. c. All plans and specifications shall meet or exceed the Manual of Nei-ahborhood Park Improvement Standards. in effect at the time of the submission. culc: Idocume—llpsprin—lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland. doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 7 d. If the improvements are constructed on land that has already been dedicated and/or is owned by the City, then the Developer must post Payment and Performance Bonds to guarantee the payment of all subcontractors and suppliers and to guarantee Developer completes the work in accordance with the approved plans, specifications, ordinances, other applicable laws and that City has issued a Certificate of Acceptance for the improvements. e. The construction of all improvements must be completed within two (2) years from the date of the approval of the plans and specifications. A final, one-time extension of twelve months may be granted by the Administrator upon demonstration of substantial progress and the lack of changed or changing conditions in the area. f. Completion and Acceptance - Park development will be considered complete and a letter of completion will be issued after the following requirements are met: (1) Improvements must have been constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans (2) All parkland upon which the improvements have been constructed has been dedicated as required under this ordinance (3) All manufacturer's warranties have been provided for any equipment g. Upon issuance of a Certificate of Completion, Landowner warrants for a period of one (l) year as per the requirements in the Manual of Nei-ahborhood Park Improvements Standards. h. The developer shall be liable for any costs required to complete park development if (1) Developer fails to complete the improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans (2) Developer fails to complete any warranty work (3) Developer fails to dedicate the parkland on which the improvements are constructed culc:Idocume—llpsprin—lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 8 5. Reimbursement for City Acquired Parkland The City may from time to time acquire land for parks in or near an area of actual or potential development. If the City does acquire park land in a park zone, the City may require subsequent parkland dedications for that zone to be in Fee -in Lieu -of -Land only. This will be to reimburse the City for the cost(s) of acquisition. Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for all such parkland within a park zone, this Section shall cease to apply, and the other Sections of Section 8.5 shall again be applicable. C. Prior Dedication or Absence of Prior Dedication If a dedication requirement arose prior to enactment of this Section 8.5, that dedication requirement shall be controlled by the ordinance in effect at the time such obligation arose, except that additional dedication shall be required if the actual density of structures constructed upon property is greater than the former assumed density. Additional dedication shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be based upon the ratio set forth in Section 8.5.13. (Credit shall be given for land dedicated or fees paid pursuant to prior parkland Ordinance Nos. 690, 983 or 2546.) D. Comprehensive Plan Considerations The Recreation, Park and Open Space Master Plan is intended to provide the College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a guide upon which to base its recommendations. Because of the need to consider specific characteristics in the site selection process, the park locations indicated on the Plan are general. The actual locations, sizes, and number of parks will be determined when development occurs. The Plan will also be used to locate desirable park sites before development occurs, and those sites may be acquired by the City or received as donations. Park Zones are established by the City's Comprehensive Plan, in the Park and Open Space element and are configured to indicate service areas for neighborhood parks. Zone boundaries are established that follow key topographic features such as major thoroughfares, streams, and city limit lines. E. Special Fund; Right to Refund culc:Idocume—llpsprin--lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 9 1. All parkland fees will be deposited in a fund referenced to the park zone involved. Funds deposited into a particular park zone fund may only be expended for land or improvements in that zone. 2. The City shall account for all fees -in -lieu -of land paid under this Section with reference to the individual plat(s) involved. Any fees paid for such purposes must be expended by the City within five (5) years from the date received by the City for acquisition and/or development of a neighborhood park as defined herein. Such funds shall be considered to be spent on a first -in, first -out basis. If not so expended, the landowners of the property on the expiration of such period shall be entitled to a prorated refund of such sum, computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of such property must request such refund within one (1) year of entitlement, in writing, or such right shall be barred. F. Parkland Guidelines and Requirements Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety and minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. The following guidelines and requirements shall be used in designing parks and adjacent development. 1. Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses. The dedication shall be free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances that interfere with its use for park purposes. The City Manager or his designee shall determine whether any encumbrances interfere with park use. Minerals may be reserved from the conveyance provided that there is a complete waiver of the surface use by all mineral owners and lessees. A current title report must be provided with the land dedication. The property owner shall pay all taxes or assessments owed on the property up to the date of acceptance of the dedication by the City. A tax certificate from the Brazos County Tax Assessor shall be submitted with the dedication or plat. culc:Idocume—llpsprin—1 /locals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 10 2. Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements. Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. s. Land in floodplains or designated greenways will be considered on a two for one basis. Two acres of floodplain or greenway will be equal to one acre of parkland a. Where feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to greenways and/or schools in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co -development of new sites. 5. Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users and should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. 6. Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. 7. Detention / retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention / retention area design must be approved by the City Manager or his designee and must meet specific parks specifications in the Manual of Neighborhood Park Improvements Standards. s. Where park sites are adjacent to Greenways, Schools existing or proposed subdivisions, access ways may be required to facilitate public access to provide public access to parks. 9. It is desirable that fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park should abut a public street. G. Consideration and Approval culc:Idocume—llpsprin—lllocals—lltemplchapter 9 amendment parkland.doc 717105 ORDINANCE NO. Page 11 Any proposal considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission under this Section shall have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board or the City Manager or his designee as provided herein, and a recommendation given to the Commission. The Commission may make a decision contrary to the recommendation by a majority vote. H. Review of Land Dedication Requirements and Dedication and Development Fee The City shall review the Fees established and amount of land dedication required at least once every three (3) years. The City shall take into account inflation as it affects land acquisition and park development costs as well as the City's targeted level of service for parkland per one thousand population. Fees are authorized to be set by resolution of the City Council. I.

Call to order. Meeting was called to order by Robert Meyer, Chairman at 10:02am II. Hear Visitors. Peter Lamont represented the Parks and Recreation Department IIl. Approval of minutes from regular meeting on June 27, 2005. Joanna Yeager indicated she did not attend the last meeting. The corrected minutes were approved by Raymond Reed and seconded by Frank Camplone. IV. Report, discussion, and possible action on Planning Team Meeting for the "Texas in WWH" event scheduled for September 3, 2005. Neal Nutall spoke on the event scheduled for September 3, 2005, at the George Bush Library. He asked that we all attend and participate. There will be a display of WWII vehicles. Neal asked that we all come to honor the great heroes of the past. All who were alive then were glad to see the end of WWII. On that day, as he remembers, Neal heard lots of sirens going off and lots of celebrating. That was the end of the war. Colleen Risinger reported that the event will be from 10:00 to 2:00 and that the library fee has been waived. There will be food served also. Patricia Boughton reported on the World War II Memorial in Washington DC. She said it was beautiful. Neal also mentioned that a WWII Memorial ceremony will be held at Veterans Park. All local veteran organizations will be there to tell their stories. The battle of Midway will be highlighted by a narration- V. Report, discussion and possible action concerning the Senior Center Planning Committee Report. Joe Le Cour was not able to be present. Robert presented the report. Robert will express to the Mayor and Council that the Senior Advisory Committee would like to have the approval to seek citizen input of a Senior Center and then return to the Council with a recommendation. Secondly, the sub -committee would work together with Raymond on a concept for the design and usage of the center. Finally, once citizen input is gathered, the Senior Advisory Committee would return to the City Council for action on a Senior Center. Raymond also summarized the committee report as above stated. He has prepared a beginning concept (diagram) of a 9,000 square foot building for the public to evaluate. He believes that we should be available to make presentations to various community meetings. The concept includes a coffee shop, meeting rooms, kitchen, storage, etc. He feels the ideal site would be just east of the Central Park Lake. He explained in depth his plans Some notes he wrote to Marci Rodgers included that we gather as much citizen support as we can. Robert stated that it was critical to have a vision of the Senior Center and that we may need a building larger that 9,000 square feet. Neal suggested that we go to Neighborhood and Home Owner Association meetings for their input; Katie Elrod could help. Peter said that we do not have a time table on these meetings yet. Peter said the intent of our going to the Council is to ask for approval and support to solicit public input to develop a plan - Then the Senior Advisory Committee would filter the ideas and develop our plan to take to the Council. Joanna Yeager agreed with Peter's time table. Raymond stated that our primary reason for going to the Council is to advise that we wish to meet with the citizens and let them know we are interested in building a Senior Center that includes their ideas. Robert summarized a meeting with Mr. Steve Beachy and Marci concerning the talk at the July City Council Meeting. They said they will help him with the talk. However, Mr. Beachy told him, basically, that we as Seniors will have to do this project. We will have to decide how this is to be done and set a goal of completion before Christmas. Joanna moved that the recommendation of the Senior Center Planning Committee be approved The motion was seconded by Yvonne, and the recommendation was approved. At this time, Robert asked for input from each Committee member on any other further suggestions. Joanna suggested we may need exercise facilities for the Baby Boomer Generation. Dipankar Sen stated that he liked the idea of the expansion of the meeting rooms. Raymond confirmed that is why we need to have the public meet and give their input. Peter informed us that 1200 questionnaires had been mailed out to survey public input on the activities of the Parks and Recreation Department. One of the questions asked if the "public believes that we need a Senior CenterT' A group from Texas A&M is conducting the survey which has not been completed yet. Edward Bums indicated we should be the filter for the citizen recommendations, rather than having some other group or individual. Frank said we are asking for too little; we should request a building of 15,000 square feet. Edward felt we should ask for more as the Council expects this. Raymond said we are going to the Council to ask for permission to get public input; then, we will decide on what to present to the Council. Colleen said we should ask for a larger building. She was also concerned about financing for materials to survey the public; Peter said the budget would cover those expenses. Neal again emphasized the need to survey the Neighborhood and Home Owners Associations. Yvonne Stevens indicated that we need to make sure our program remains broad based and not degrade toward only a "dinner and games' gathering. Pat supported the idea of a Senior Center but had no further ideas than those already expressed. VI. Recommendation for Chairman and Vice Chairman for 2005 and 2006. Raymond nominated the present ones, Robert and Neal, to continue next year. The motion was seconded by Frank. Edward recommended that they be elected by acclamation. Peter and Colleen each indicated that they had an application to recommend to the Senior Advisory Committee. Dipankar indicated that he possibly would not sign on for another 3-year term. No word was received from the other members completing their 3-year term. VII. Adjourn. The meeting was adjourned about 11:45am.

The City of College Station is a community that is well positioned geographically, anchored by a growing university, financially strong and very interested in developing proactive guiding policy to shape its future in an aggressive growth environment. The Council has several relatively new members and is seeking to find the common policy issues that all will share and when addressed will shape College Station's future in a positive fashion. Introduction Each member of the Council was interviewed two weeks before the retreat to gather data to be used in design of the retreat and to provide starting points for important discussions during the retreat. Policy level retreats can easily waste valuable time and energy establishing a beginning point for dialogue. Advance input allows us to hit the ground running and dedicate the valuable Council time to the intent, discussing Key result Areas (KRAs) for policy consideration. This report reflects the notes taken by the facilitator during the retreat and observations from the Council dialogue. It is not intended to be the formal minutes of the meeting. The report is best read with the Power Point summary as a companion. The Power Point has detailed information that was shared with the Council to focus discussion and inform regarding several points and principles of policy formation. That summary is attached. Council introductory remarks At the beginning of the retreat, the Council was asked to spend a few minutes each describing their personal view of College Station... the things they like the most and least. The intent is to hear each person's viewpoint at the beginning of the discussion to both understand the differences and to identify the similarities. These are unstructured but give a pretty good indicator of some issues that emerge in the process that follows. This report will reflect the key issues several times as they emerge form different discussions. This amplifies their importance to this policy body and provides the foundation for identification of their primary areas for collective policy attention. The following is a summary of the comments made by the Council. College Station is a well-educated and informed community inhabited by people who love the City and care about the things we do. Texas A&M as the City's centerpiece, we have a dynamic educational foundation on u 1� r.a. bowers & associates which to build a bright future that embraces new possibilities while maintaining our character and quality of life. CS is a young, dynamic community with a general sense of energy and excitement generated largely by the activities at the university. CS has a very special resident population of involved, capable and intelligent people. They have a positive progressive attitude and generally understand the City's problems. College Station a safe city with a strong economy and a high quality of life. The opportunity to expand the community well-being in concert with the university expansion is a significant opportunity for positive economic growth. The students keep the fresh perspective of youth yet pose some community challenges. Concerns include the tensions that exist between the City and the university regarding neighborhood impact, traffic, noise, parking, rental occupancy issues, etc. Traffic, in general, is an issue needing to address both within the City limits and through regional and statewide decision -making forums regarding larger arterials. The City is growing at a steady pace but is not as inclusive as it needs to be. Foreign students, resident minorities need equal opportunity. Concerned that, at times, we are distracted from the vision we are trying to achieve by the demand for attention to the small immediate items. What do we want to accomplish with this retreat? The Council indicated a number of desired outcomes for this retreat. The following summarize the common themes. As with each point in this report I suggest the reader refer to the attached PowerPoint summary for more specific detail form the Council interview input. • To focus collectively on major policy issues we need to address know other and individual • Get to each preferences and interests better • To strengthen our capacity to be an effective Council. address our • To understand and collectively weaknesses and amplify our strengths • Share concerns to address personal perception issues, motives and intentions to develop trust, mutual support & respect What are the major long-term issues we face as a policy body? The Council divided into two groups. Each discussed the question and arrived at a list. They were asked to keep the lists 5 dd items, it began to focuse this work oattention on the "vital possibilities or limit opportuust the mttes to a was few" that will most significantly impact or staff members presenleget were also asked ttatin. Long o an wer suggested to be 5-$ years. The se this question. Their comments are reflected below were not directly blended into the policy -level discussion unless done so by the Council- 2 r.a. bowers & associates GROUP 1 Develop, adopt, communicate and follow through on policies to: • Attract and support business • Assure adequate transportation systems... State, regional & local • Improve collaboration with the University and Bryan • Address neighborhood issues... rentals, energy issues GROUP 2 • Proactive growth management regarding transportation, quality of life, and land use • Collaboration and cooperation between the City, Bryan, A&M to foster regionalism. What is good for Bryan is good for College Station (generally) • Policies to support neighborhood well-being, communication and differing lifestyles • Become a destination City through economic develop policies • City Center as a point of pride supported by the citizens The Council members were given an opportunity to select their top priorities from the list generated by the two groups. They each had 2 red dots (highest priority) and 4 not red (important but lower priority). They were able to distribute them in any way they wished. The staff items listed below were not included in the Council list of choices but could be drawn from if the Council chose to do so. STAFF • Better -defined interaction with A&M leadership. • More concise definition of roles (Council, staff, committee policy • Tax base growth and broader/revenue structure (fiscal/financial policy) • Clarity regarding how far we go with collaboration? Clear expectations in general to avoid assumptions. • Capitalize on our asset of knowledge based community What are the key policy concerns? The Council selection indicated that the following four items, agreed upon by all, are the primary policy areas on which to concentrate their effort. 1. Growth management to assure that the City is both ahead of the growth curve in its definition of systems and policies to manage growth and very clear about their intentions for the character and quality of growth. 2. Collaboration with other entities (especially Bryan, A&M, schools, county, TexDOT) to form mutually productive alliances that strengthen the community. 3. Economic Development to diversify the revenue base, strengthen the fiscal position and provide appropriate support to define and encourage target industries 3 r.a. bowers & associates that will best serve a balanced community. Related areas that must be considered in relationship to economic development include: a. Quality of Life b. Transportation c. Land Use d. Support and attract business e. Knowledge based community 4. Neighborhood well being includes a broad array of interests including student occupancy, noise and parking control, code enforcement and general neighborhood support and enhancement. Substantial discussion accompanied each of the above. The intent was to stay focused at the highest policy level and to do so in relationship to the areas where the greatest need and opportunity for significant impact rest. The following represents more detailed discussion regarding each of the four Key Result Areas (KRAs). While they are not intended to be in a fixed rank order, the sequence does represent the weight of value placed on each area through the selection process. The following are presented in "dot point" fashion to represent the breadth of comment. These discussions continued the focus on policy and concluded with a policy action plan that provides a general guideline for further development and adoption of specific policy to guide the effort. As each discussion flows, the reader may see opposing or contradictory points being made. That is representative of the give and take of the dialogue. 1. Growth Management • Manage growth wisely in a proactive and consistent manner. Don't let the growth process get ahead of our identification of what we want to become. • Examine the policies and systems in place and adjust to be certain that zoning regulations and infrastructure are consistent with positive business growth. • Focus on the attraction of desired new businesses and the retention of current ones. • Review our land use plan and how we do zoning to be sure it serves the vision the community holds for itself. • Annexation policy needs to be reviewed to be sure it serves College Station well. • Citizen communication and involvement is critical. Policy discussions need to be communicated well to our citizens and their active involvement in forming policy encouraged. • Engage all stakeholders in policy discussions. • It is very important that we first have vision clarity from Council regarding what we see for the future of College Station. • Our fundamental challenge is to maintain our quality of life, the "small town feel" that defines College Station, while we grow." E r.a. bowers & associates • Smart growth requires balance and a distributed economic base. It is important that we use the tools we have to bring the right type of growth_ We first need to be able to identify the desired element of successful growth. (see Economic Development section below) • Council needs to stay focused on the College Station vision and make decisions in the context of that vision. • The current vision is all things to all people, which makes it less useful, and we tend to sway from it when the pressure is on. • Communication is very important the "why we are doping things" needs to be communicated proactively. • A shared vision centers us. Growth Management... Actions • Review the current mission and vision of the Council for the future of College Station and update as needed to have a shared Council perspective. • Develop improved ways to communicate with the public to both inform and engage regarding key policy formation. In preparation for further policy discussion on the growth management issue, the City Manager will prepare a working paper to inform and swerve as a starting point for a study session or series of study sessions. (Note: The idea of special study sessions to discuss important issues in depth without the burden of an action agenda was discussed a number of times throughout the day as a way to bring needed focus of attention and dialogue to the KRAs.) 2. Economic Development • We need to create policy that encourages job creation. • As we work to serve College Station interests we need to avoid being seen as overly competition with other entities. (Note: This comment Iinks well to the later comment about finding the balance between cooperation and self-interest. Both need to be served) • Expand the tourism base. • Sales tax revenue is 40% of the General Fund operating budget. Seeking economic development that contributes to expanding that revenue source is important. • Leverage the knowledge based character of College Station, identifying and promoting the `right' kind of growth. (Note: `Right' became a discussion point in itself resulting in a general agreement that it is important to identify the intention for economic development so all will agree on what the term means and what industries are most attractive.) • We should attract clean industry, not smoke stack, environment unfriendly, min - wage or vulnerable due to their cyclical nature. r_a. bowers & associates • Leverage A&M as a core asset and work collaboratively on economic development strategies that represent mutual benefit. • Enhance and support knowledge -based industries. • White-collar business opportunities will represent intellectual capital. • At the same time, our children must have opportunities to stay and work after graduation. (Note: This theme of balance continues through the day with comfort that somewhat contradictory ideas can coexist in a well designed economic development policy) • Synergy between A&M and the City is a core element of a College Station economic development policy. • One observation was that "We are a net exporter of talent." and need to change that equation. • Getting students more involved in the City may help to engage them both in the vision and in considering opportunities in College Station after graduation. • How do we convey that College Station is best choice? "Package it better" • Be sure to get a seat at the table in the right forums to support decisions that encourage businesses we want. a�oarias • Be seen as business friendly.- _ • Take advantage of our central location in the triangle. • Infrastructure issues must be addressed to assure an attractive Austin * T environment for business attraction. i �Npusto\ • Work in collaboration to develop educational support for —,— -� target industries... A&M, vocational, junior college, etc. • Form regional education cooperatives. • Seek alliances to enhance efforts at Business retention and educational infrastructure. Bring partners along with us through policy discussions. • Enroll IGC and others in the strategy. • Share the Credit! • All boats rise when we work together. • The RVP has strategic plan, may or may not be consistent with College Station Economic Development... Actions • Set meeting between College Station and Blinn leaders to discuss economic development opportunities. • Engage Chamber, RVP & others in the discussion of economic development with the expectation that they will be proactive. We will take the lead in creating the dialogue. • Get the right people on the RVP and `charter' their assignment. It is expected that the City representative(s) on this or any other committee will be working toward the City goals as established by the Council. Get our reps on the 3 r.a. bowers & associates same page as us. Representatives appointed by the Council report to the Council. • Develop and adopt an economic development master plan. We currently have pieces of an economic development plan (some policies re: economic development in retail) but nothing comprehensive. • Establish a business Retention Policy • Include support of business interests in legislative agenda. • Establish an ad hoc committee (`skunk works') task force appointed by Mayor with specific charter and timing to begin identification of key elements for an economic development plan. 3. Collaboration • Be clear regarding the intent of our efforts to collaborate. • We are not now seen as collaborative but want to be. We believe we are more collaborative than some perceive we are. • Effective collaboration necessitates that all parties win? • Rather than simply expect collaboration in all matters, it is important that we behave in a thoughtful & responsible way with consideration given to the College Station benefit. Collaboration ... Actions Establish guiding principles for collaborative relationships where all parties gain. Establish systems and structures to enable collaboration. (Note: The consensus of the Council, as this discussion concluded, was that collaboration is more of a universal expectation for how the City does business than a stand alone KRA. You will note that the second day discussion treated it as such.) 4. Neighborhoods • The City held a neighborhood task force last year. Consider the results of that work as we go forward. • Student housing issues are a primary concern... much like other college cities. • The number of unrelated inhabitants in a single dwelling is a concern. • Noise, parking & poorly maintained property are part of the problem. • Bryan is currently having the same discussion. Can we collaborate? • We are taking proactive actions but citizens still see it as a major unresolved problem. • We need an established program that will mitigate major issues quickly & systematically. • How can we get to the students/parents to share suggestions directly? Neighborhood... Actions • Support the formation of neighborhood programs to address issues. • Engage the University for their participation in party/noise/parking control. r.a. bowers & associates • Establish dialogue with University on new opportunities to solve problems. • Work with off -campus housing in collaboration to minimize problems. • Review current code to determine its adequacy to help deal with neighborhood issues? The first day of the retreat ended here having addressed the long-term issues. There were several other long-term issues that were not discussed in detail. Some will be subsets of the KRAs noted above while others will vie for attention as policy discussions occur throughout the year. The following are the result of discussion on the second day of the retreat. Comments to introduce the second day discussion. The Council began the second day with a brief update from the first day and an outline of the plan for the second. They discussed what happens next with the work they do at the retreat. Since retreats such as this are not forums for making policy but rather to set up the framework to bring key points of policy interest into the decision -making arena where they will conduct public discussion to form specific policy, they need a specific understanding of how this goes forward. The Council discussed the role of the City Manager in bringing items forward for their formal consideration The City manager is expected to prepare briefing papers with sufficient information to enable a well-informed continuation of the retreat discussions. They are not seeking recommendations as much as thorough research and options. Council will determine policy and administration will carry it out. The KRAs that carried over from the first day and become the frame of reference for the second were Growth Management, Economic Development and Neighborhoods. They continued the discussion with the collective intention to: • Stay at the policy level • Be specific about roles and expectations including Policy & Administration • Follow thru! • Clarify common vision Short-term actions to achieve long-term goals The advance input from Council interviews formed the foundation for this discussion. The Council then divided into two groups, as they did with the long-term KRA discussion, to determine the most significant actions. The group members were mixed from the first such exercise to continually fuel new ideas. These are not in rank order. They are items that the Council wants to pursue in the next several months. GROUP 1 • Develop and approve a fast track development process that expedites review without sacrificing quality. M'.: cc 7CY WCRY. FIAT! ( `Y GGII,S 6 GP.JECi IVESI i^. FICI� MI3°Sall r.a. bowers & associates • Establish goals and measures for Council appointees. • Develop and apply an economic development plan • Strengthen neighborhood code enforcement. Review the process we follow and the position within the organization for best fit. • Consider holding a congress of neighborhoods • Include students in the dialogue and communication regarding neighborhood problems associated with the University. • Move forward on the Convention Center project. Agree on details and how to go forward including communication and collaboration with Bryan. • Strengthen the Police Department with additional resources as needed. • Enhance very positive teamwork mentality of Council as a team. GROUP2 • Establish economic development policy and direction. • Enhance communications • Start with where we are now and where we want to go then, how we are doing in getting there. Have a clear vision to measure against. • Report from RVP representatives to City Council to be in sync with City Council ... include ongoing communication plan. • Develop a communication master plan with emphasis on both listening and assimilation. Need to include media relations and regular contact with service clubs. It was noted that there are 9 Civic Clubs, 6 Lions Clubs, 2 Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis and other opportunities to positively inform and influence the public. • City Manager needs to update the City Council regularly. Short-term specifics Some common themes were evident... vision, communication, role, action on delayed projects and a general bias for action. The following items were selected by the Council for further discussion and statement of specific expectations for what needs to be done in the short term. Communication o Staff now reports information regarding current activities. Council would like to see future ideas and projects in formation added to the reports. o Review and approve the Council reports/like reading the newspaper. o Want to hear from the City manager and all departments about what they see for the future. o Department plans communicated to Council through City Manager, o Department work plan and relationships to St. Plan. Should they be communicated to citizen? o Include citizen appointees in communication loop and expect feedback. o Include other key stakeholders beyond the obvious. Engage the thoughtful leaders. E r.a. bowers & associates o Council -to -Council communication should be consistent and based on agreed upon norms. Performance reviews for administrative appointees o Establish goals and objectives with City Manager and appointees for performance review purposes o There is no current Council appointee's performance evaluation process — established one. Council Leadership o Each Council member has a responsibility to provide leadership and support the leadership of others. The Mayor needs to exercise the responsibilities of the chair in a strong consistent manner. o Council group dynamics and mutual respect are important and should be exhibited publicly and privately to honor the group's common interests and intent. o Conduct productive debate with mutual respect. o Demand a level of decorum from the audience that is consistent with the rules established and the tenor set by Council o Mayor decides when a behavior is out of order and Council will support the decision and the gavel if used. o All will follow rules regarding speaker forms being filled out correctly and speaker time limits and decorum. o Staff will edit the form for speakers to include Council expectations noted above. Include a section where someone can check for or against and be included in the record without speaking. Neighborhoods o Engage the associations and traditional neighborhoods o Have a registration program for rentals to assure a responsible point of contact o Use WTAW radio spot every Friday to share with the public. Cable channel seems to have strong viewership Take advantage of the opportunity o Consider a way to convene neighborhoods to enhance communication on an ongoing basis City Center o Identify community leaders and engage them in the project to educate, inform and seek supportive feedback o This is the #1 project needing to be "refrained". It is a good project that has gotten off on the wrong foot. We need to step back and reestablish clarity of intention. 10 r.a. bokvers & associates o Naysayers currently tend to define the project and the City reacts. o We now have a vision with no buy -in. o Council needs to give guidance regarding policy direction for City Center. Look at major projects in the hopper to assess where we are and determine if the Council commitment is strong and communication satisfactory. Miscellaneous but important The Council discussed a number of items that don't fit in a tidy package but are important to them as they conduct the business of the City. They are listed in no particular order other than the sequence discussed. • Selection process for appointed citizen committees. Draft done. Expand the online application. • Work-study sessions will allow the Council to discuss the KRA policy items and others in a concentrated fashion separate form an action agenda. This will allow the same type of free -flowing discussion held during the retreat and so important to formation of complex public policy. • "Talk less, say more". Agree to keep comments form the Council as brief as possible without limiting productive input. The perception is that there is repetition and at time long-winded recitations that consume valuable time. This type of word economy is particularly important to consider if the time limits for meetings is held facts. • Consent agenda is effective now. Perhaps it can be even more efficient as well as effective if the bias is to seek answers in advance and to minimize withdrawal from the consent agenda to allow more time to be dedicated to the more complex items. • Should Council memberships using personal resources be reimbursed? • There is a time to make the decision and move ion. Some perceive that the tough decisions are delayed unnecessarily to the detriment of the Council and community. • Town Hall... consider open public hearings on key issues, some held in neighborhoods to get input and engender trust. Observations & Suggestions The City of College Station is a wonderful community at an exciting point in its history. Growth and opportunity seem to be inexorably woven into the pattern of evolution described by the Council. While the Council's vision for College Station is unstated, their common focus suggests a desired future. Their attention to policy formation in the areas most likely to contribute to achievement of a desired future will pay dividends. Consistent with the discussions during the retreat, I encourage the Council to: 11 r.a. bowers & associates • Spend concentrated time determining their shared vision for the future of the City as well as clear expectations for processes and values that will guide the effort to achieve it. • Charter all commission, committee and individual appointments by the Council. This means clearly stating what you expect from advisory groups and people appointed to represent the Council in other policy forums. • Set aside time to discuss major policy issues in study sessions where the depth and breadth of an issue can be considered with the same level of critical thinking and healthy exchange as exhibited in the retreat. • Clarify the expectations for each other regarding communication, meeting decorum, meeting management, conflict resolution, leadership expectations etc. This is not to solve existing problems but to prevent problems that can easily develop in strong active policy bodies. • Establish and follow a simple, straightforward and relevant performance expectation and review process for Council appointed positions. • Take time to stand back now and then to examine, improve and most important, celebrate the wonderful work you do. Conclusion It has been a privilege to serve the City of College Station. I have come to appreciate the depth of civic commitment and sense of mission exhibited by the City Council and staff. I will watch the exciting years ahead for College Station with great interest and appreciation. I have enjoyed the high level of positive interaction, the willingness to work hard on tough issues, the variety of perspectives and the collective sense of resolve to make things happen. Thank you.
