DRAWER F 72701 (5011 521-7700 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD Wednesday, September 9, 1981 1:30 p.m. PRESENT: Lashley, Widder, Ryan, Melton, Reagan, Clark, Cantrell, Cypert, Tarvin, Crook, Phyllis Rice -Northwest Arkansas Times - This meeting was held at the Youth Center and also included the Swimming, Pool Committee. - City is offering water tanks on E. Dickson to any department which can use thein. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will check them out during October parks tour. - Bicycle Task Force (Widder) is having two types of bike racks made up and needs Parks and Recreation Advisory Board guidance and approval of places to put them -- city pool, Walker Park, ballfields. Parks Department will maintain. - Beverly gave current findings of the Swimming Pool Committee: two alternative plans locate new pool in same approximate area as present pool. Mans compli- cations: grade level, remodeling old buildings, tearing down maintenance buildings, six big trees would undoubtedly perish and building that close to old pool (or remodeling old pool, a suggestion considered unfeasible) would mean we would have no pool for one whole season. Third offering: build pool in center of present Wilson Park softball field. Advantages: level, open, no need to tear anything down, less need for con- cession (ballfields are the big concession users). Softball field would have to be built - Industrial Park or Walker, cost $30,000. $536,000 for new olympic size pool, dressing rooms, restrooms (not public). $30,000 for new ballfield - Total $566,000. Public restrooms and concession stand further down the road. No diving pool, no tall diving board, no observation. Cypert suggests public input for uses of old pool and area. Given the general favorable consensus of those present, Lashley suggests presentation of plan and figures - locating new pool in center of present ballfield - to City Board at September 15th meeting. Melton and committee will present. After dismissing the Swimming Pool Committee with appreciation, David asked them to remain on the job until things are farther along. Crook says present figure, $536,000, represents careful work that has gone into "costing" and is an improved value to taxpayers. Tarvin gave nine months as building time for this pool. - Dale said City Board will want to wait on HCRS application - this could be crucial because HCRS operates with different rules. Tarvin is in touch with State Parks and Recreation grant office (Jerri Durandowski) and the HCRS grant result will be known end of September. Mr. Don Grimes Fayetteville, Ar. Dear Sir: We would like meeting August 18, DAVID E. LASHLEY PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT CRAVENS BUILDING FAVETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS 72701 TELEPHONE 442-8721 A0005 T 65; /IV 72701 Re: City Board Agenda August 18, 1981 to have a place on the agenda for the next Board 1981. Matters which need attention are as follows: 1) Recommendation on House at Lake Sejuoyah 2) Recommendation on House at Lake Wilson 3) Approval of funds to pay for engineering study and plans for 11 Walker Park North." ( From CD funds remaining from Walker Park Project) Yours very trul Da d E. Lashley • To: City Manager & Board of Directors From: David E. Lashley, Chairman Parks & Recreation Advisory Board It would be most helpful if we could have information on the status of CD.funding. We are concerned that we have heard nothing regarding the census surveys to be conducted by the CD office in the Asbell and Washington Mountain areas. These two projects were budgeted for 1981 and half the year is gone. We would like to proceed with plans but cannot until we have the approvals which are contingent on the census analyses. It would be lmost helpful if we could be made aware of any progress. It is our understanding the CD Director reports to the City Manager and is responsible to the Board. This is the reason we are asking for information that would be reliable and official. • Av&wr • • 70 . ' en -/4/2n {✓oM P,/t e (,'.i,/?!
