III. WALKER PARK EXPANSION PROJECT: PETE JENKINS
Jenkins: I have been involved with the youth baseball
here for many years. I am representing
myself, and in a fashion the Bambino
Association. I am not directly representing
the Association. I have talked with Dennis
Kelly. My number one reason for being here is
safety. A child was hit three or four weeks
ago by a car. The other reason is lack of
space with no look of improvements. I want to
compliment you on the restrooms. They were
badly needed. Also the restrooms in the
concession stand have been cleaned up. You
also helped with the lights on field #7 and
groundwork prior to the season. Baseball ages
6-12 are only the ages the play at Walker
Park. We have 76 teams with 988 players.
There were children turned away. In 1990 and
1991 there were presentations made to this
board and City Board for improvements to
Walker Park. These figures I just told you
are the projections we had for 1998. We have
surpassed the projections for 1994. We have
limited enrollment. We are four or five years

behind where we should be. Last year there
were over 7300 volunteer hours not counting
scorekeepers and mothers watching kids. That
is over $31,000 at minimum wage plus our
expenditures at $40,000. This is just from
the Association's funds. We are saving the
City almost $100,000 a year by providing youth
baseball though the Bambino Association. If
we did not do it, who would? We feel like we
are doing the community a real justice by
promoting the youth through baseball. What
happened to the Walker Park expansion plan
that was approved in October 1992 by City
Board. There were nine public meetings, lots
of public input, and the plan met lots of
criteria by several organizations which was
ultimately approved by City Board. As far as
I know that was the end of it. In the
recommended projects for 1994, I see a sports
complex and a new parking lot at Walker. Here
is a copy of the approved plat by the City
Board. This land became available through an
estate settlement. The Walkers gave us the
first opportunity to purchase this land for
parks. There were objections by some member
of the public to cutting the undergrowth, and
some stated the land was not large enough for
fields. But hundreds of people decided this
was a good option. This plan was not created
with haphazard numbers pulled out of the air.
There were other options compared to this.
The primary reason for buying this land was
for youth baseball and soccer. There was an
architectural plan paid for this design. What
happened to it? This land is sitting down
there doing nothing while our kids do not have
enough space. This plan was in phases.
Phase I was to remove 13th and Block street
that run through the park, and install parking
lots there. This is also an ideal place for
the Senior Citizens center. There are lots of
kids running across the street full of cars
with no place to park the cars. This is a
well laid out plan. We need to get the
streets moved and fields in there. If the
City gives us the reigns on most things, we
will get it done. However, for this project,
we need the City's help. We need to know we
can follow the plat. I am requesting the
Parks Board to find out.
Driver: Your facts sound straight. We need to have
some comments from PRAB members.

What happened to this plan, Dale?
We had a change of City Government and we
acquired Lewis Property. The funding for this
plan was held up by City Administration.
There is not much that can be done to build
baseball fields until we take care of soccer
fields at Lewis Street. City said to hold
Walker until Lewis and Sports Park came about.
We were advised those streets were not coming
out.
The street were built with Community
Development funds and could not come out.
When was this grant to build the streets? I
remember the grant for the fields.
There were two grants. We cleared the land,
leveled the land and created fields.
Community Development funds built Block
Street.
:Jan, how does this work?
Once the streets are completed the City owns
the streets and can decide what to do with the
streets.
:Back in late 1993 when were developing the CIP
recommendations to the City Council, we had
several thousand dollars for Walker Park.
When the final CIP list came back from City
Administration, Walker Park money was taken
out of 1994 CIP and in its place was a $75,000
sports complex. When Kevin Crosson attended a
meeting, we asked about this change. The
information we got was that if the sports
complex did not come about, we could still
allocate that money to Walker Park. We asked
if it could be allocated back to Walker Park.
Where is this parking lot that is in the 1994
CIP? Is it in the flood plain?
The horseshoe pits are there.
:I think the lot was planned in the Walker Park
Expansion across from the pavilion. With the
restrooms coming in higher than we had
budgeted, we did borrow some of that funding.
:What was the original amount requested for
Walker Park?
:Between $100,000 and $150,000.
The total for this project was $1,500,000 for
everything the architect put in the plan.
Baseball is five years behind the projection
and next thing we know we will be ten years
behind. Our program used to be the envy of
the state and now we are not because of the
crowding. Action needs to be taken now. No
PRAB Page 4
one wants their child to get run over. PRAB
and City Board acted at that time and now
nothing has been done. We can't come up with
million and half dollars. We are bound down
right now. There were other buyers for the
property. With the Baseball and soccer
associations, we promoted this sale. We
showed the need for the property and that is
why it was purchased by the City. It is
probably worth more now than what we paid for
it. It is up to you and the City Board.
Campbell: I have worked with Pete and concerned parents
about the facilities. There is also Babe
Ruth, Soccer, and Girl's softball to be
concerned about. There is a situation with
girl's softball fields. Why can't we get a
million and half. Harrison did. Harrison has
teams from Wyoming, Idaho, and other places
that come and spend a week for tournaments. I
don't know that much about finances but it is
done in other cities. Fayetteville is a
progressive city. Springdale and Rogers have
complexes. Even Siloam Springs is building a
new complex. There is a lot of talk about
gang task forces. Well, sports is a great way
to spend our money to help this problem. Why
can't Fayetteville do this? It has been
neglected. I am not trying to lay blame or
look at the past but look at what we can do in
the future. We need to all come together in
a marriage and produce something.
Fayetteville is booming on the Northeast side
of town. There are 65 houses going in by Root
School. My interest is my children and my
future grandchildren. I ask that you all not
say it cannot be done. It is being done all
over our state.
Bell: Ms. Campbell is right and Pete Jenkins is
right. I am concerned about the child that
was hit. I talked to Springfield Parks and we
need to take a big step. I would like to
receive authorization by this board to start a
fundraising campaign. We could go to Wal -
mart, etc. Dennis said the problem is having
two Major Bambino complexes. This would cost
$250,000. I want to implement this
fundraising campaign in conjunction with the
youth organizations.
Kimbrough:We have had no guidance on this plan. We were
told it was put on hold by City staff or the
City Council. We can't move forward on this
without finding out more.
PRAB Page 5
Campbell: We were told in would be very expensive to
build baseball fields on the terrain at Walker
Park. If this is true, would it be possible
to sell this land as a source of income for
another location?
Waite: Lots of people wanted it natural and they
would not be for selling natural land.
Campbell: It was my understanding that the purpose of
this land was to improve Walker Park
facilities.
Waite: Improve Walker facilities means lots of
things. It includes expansion of baseball,
soccer, Senior Citizens center, and nature
trails. This was the purpose.
Campbell: When the land was purchased baseball was the
purpose. The City does not have 200,000 to
throw away on land. I don't want to cut down
trees. But I would take my child's interest
before a tree anytime.
Driver: We have gotten the impression that Walker is
on hold until we find out about the Sports
Complex. That money does remain in our budget
for fields. We need to know whether to
resolve it with City Board or can staff
mandate it. I see the money is there and can
move forward. I don't know if the streets are
the only hold up.
Clark: We have construction of two soccer fields
pending at Lewis Street. I think the money is
there to expand. I don't think I have the
power to spend it. We can build more soccer
fields to relieve pressure. It will be fall
or winter before these are completed. Funding
is there for two fields and parking at Lewis.
We can't add baseball at Walker without
removing a soccer field.
Waite: Going in with an incremental fashion is the
only way to change over soccer and baseball
fields. You can't implement this plan as it
was phased in with a minimum of $600,000.
Rimbrough:You can still phase it in by removing two
soccer fields and adding baseball fields.
Jenkins: We have an agreement with soccer for one of
their fields now. The way it lays there you
might get three baseball fields in two soccer
fields. That would meet the projections but
what would that do to soccer?
James: A trade out.
Edmonston:We need to have soccer's input. They don't
believe Lewis will meet their total needs.
There are irrigation pipes on the fields at

Walker Park. We finally have decent soccer
fields at Walker Park.
How do you see us being able to proceed with
further development at Walker Park.
We need to get a clear picture from City
Council and Administration. We would have to
meet with them and ask them.
I have not talked to any Council members. I
thought it was pretty much taken care of in
1991. I did not hear anything negative after
the plat was approved. It is time to do
something. I see genuine effort from you but
let's not wait another three years.
I talked to Mayor Hanna and he sent me to you.
It sounds like we are back to the City
Attorney's question. What authority do we
have?
This Board needs to discuss this and have a
plan.
The budget committee should meet and make a
plan.
:We need clarification from City Council before
we can proceed much further. Is there an
avenue? This was put on hold at the request
of City Council. Fundraising would be a
mission without a cause until we find out.
If you have a copy of meeting's minutes before
the plan was approved, we said we would do a
lot ourselves. Many said they would donate.
We need a formal budget request for
clarification from City Council on Walker Park
and we need the City Attorney's proposal on
fundraising. There are lots of things on the
table.
:We need to get clarification before we can
move forward.
City Council is looking at one fourth to one
half cent sales tax for CIP's. There is also
$378,000 in the A & P budget. People keep
reminding me of this money. They want types
of proposals for the ballot in November.
We don't really have a workable plan now that
Lewis has five soccer fields going in. Is it
still advisable to take the streets out? You
could put four baseball fields in there
without closing streets. If you don't get
parking in there at same time you add fields
and close streets you are dead.
The Facilities Committee needs to meet with
representatives from the Soccer Association.
:We need to catch up before we can plan too far
in the future.

If you will just give us the room. One of the
primary motives for quick action was the
thirteen year old program which is still
lacking.
The Facilities Committee needs to meet with
Soccer Association and Baseball Association in
small numbers so we can get something done.
This might be at the expense of soccer fields.
Don't say at the expense of soccer. Soccer
will gain two fields, and baseball will gain
two or three fields.
It is the timing. To do it this way we will
eliminate two fields. There is a critical
year or two there where soccer will stay the
same.
I suggest we have two subcommittee meetings.
if you will coordinate those. Thank
Jenkins.
Connie,

IV. GREEN SPACE ORDINANCE PROPOSAL
This document will be reviewed at the May 9, 1994
Planning Commission meeting and forwarded to the City
Council's May 17, 1994 meeting.
Park staff documented criteria that is used to decide if
a land dedication would be required. Please review and
make corrections to the following established criteria:
Criteria for Requiring a Land Dedication
1. Physical characteristics of the site and its
surroundings make the site suitable for a park.
2. The location of the land must be consistent with
the Fayetteville Parks Master Plan.
a. Review Parks Map Number 13 if the park is
located within a priority 1, 2, or 3 area.
b. Review the Needs Assessment of Neighborhoods
to compare the 1990 and 2010 park acre needs
to the existing park acres.
3. Consider the density and acreage of the
subdivision.
4. Review location to other city parks.
5. A street or road must lead to the park.
6. Consider feasibility and cost of maintenance to the
park.
7. Consider developmental cost of the park.
DISCUSSION:
Driver: Why does Number five on page two of agenda say
street or road must lead to the park?
Clark: The reason for this is to mow and maintain, we
must have access for park equipment.
•
PRAB Page 8
Edmonston:At Davis Park we ended up paying for half a
road and the street in front of the park.
When people say why aren't you developing your
park. Well the money is in the street. Some
cities even say water and sewer must come up
to park land. We don't want property out in
the middle of a field with no access. Plus
people won't have to go through people's yards
to get to the park.
Driver: Does anyone see any problems with the fourth
draft of the ordinance?
MOTION:KIMBROUGH/BELL
The PRAB approves the fourth draft of the green space
ordinance.
MOTION APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY 5-0
V. ARKANSAS PARKS AND TOURISM 1995 LWCF GRANT
It is time to start work on submittal of the 1995 grant
application to Arkansas Parks and Tourism. During the
past two years, we have been very fortunate in receiving
$25,000 in 1993 for the development of Gulley Park and
$25,000 in 1994 for Lake Fayetteville South Park.
Northwest Regional Planning Office has consented to write
the grant. With the rapid growth in the Walnut Grove
Addition, Parks staff recommends that the grant be
written to develop Davis Park according to the
established master plan. A public meeting would need to
be held at Davis Park before June 20 to qualify for the
grant. PRAB needs to approve if the Parks would like to
apply and which project.
Discussion:
Driver: We need to hold a meeting on site before June
20. We need to set a time.
Clark: I suggested Davis Park primarily because
development needs to take place. There are
other parks, but we are behind on Davis. The
neighborhood is fully developed. It would be
next year before this would be approved,
however we do have some plans we will proceed
with. This would make a big impact.
What is the amount of the grant?
We request the maximum amount which is $50,000.
They usually trim it down.
Is this matching funds? Could the matching
funds come from Green Space?
Yes.

MOTION:BELL/WAITE
The PRAB approves the grant application to be sent to the
Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism for Davis Park.
MOTION APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY 5-0
Edmonston:The second or third week of June would be the
best.
Bell: What happened to the U of A student with the
working on the Davis Park structure?
Clark: Some of the people donating material backed
out on her, so I have not heard from her.
Driver: Did she modify her plan and bring it to you?
Also, the U of A is doing a design on Lake
Wilson. The meetings are Monday May 2 and
Wednesday May 4 between 1:30 and 4:00 at the
Union, room 311. The third year students are
using lake Wilson as their project.
VI. PARKS MASTER PLAN
The Parks Master Plan
17, 1994 City Council
will be discussed at
May 10, 1994 at 4:30
has been submitted to be on the May
meeting for approval. The proposal
the City Council agenda session on
p.m., City Hall room 326.
Discussion:
Driver: Do we need to go to the agenda session?
Edmonston:It would probably be a good idea.
VII. FALL BASEBALL PROPOSAL
Hart: We are members of the Arkansas Ball Baseball
Association. We want to put on a fall program
from August to October for youth from ages 9
through 12. We just want the approval to use
the facilities. We have talked with the
Bambino Association, and have their approval.
There will be a 9 and 10 year old and 11 & 12
year old division. There will be eleven teams
minimum in each division and utilize four of
the larger fields.
Driver: Would this be open to all public?
Hart: It would run similar to classic soccer with a
select group of kids that walk, eat, and sleep
baseball. It would be higher skill levels.
Are there other towns doing this?
This would be the first in Northwest Arkansas.
Last year we had to go to Talequah, Oklahoma.
Would this just be Fayetteville youth?

We would start with Fayetteville Youth. If we
need more kids, we would fill additional slots
from out of town so each league would play 20
games. It will be $40 a child.
Will this require field maintenance?
We will maintain fields, take care of
concessions, and pay for lighting. The Parks
will only have to mow which they are doing.
Are there other sports going on?
We just want to give kids that truly love
baseball a place to go. There are a few other
sports like football going on then.
n:Any child interested would go through a draft?
No. We would ask the coaches to pick their
teams. Most kids that want to play should get
to play.
They will play teams from this area. No
traveling expenses?
All games will be played at Walker. I might
bring a team from Prairie Grove for them to
play.
I don't see any problem with this. We turn
away kids. What if kids turn up for this fall
program?
I understand. The skill level will be higher.
Probably someone that just wants to play ball
will not want to go to this higher skill
level. In Talequah they did not have this
problem. I would like to guarantee that
everyone that wants to play can.
h:How many coaches do you have?
We currently have 7 or 8 coaches and it has
not been publicized yet. That is why we are
coming early so we can go to the coaches and
let them know about this program.
We want to get the Parks Board okay first. We
will have little different rules like Babe
Ruth. There will be stealing, etc. There is
a huge jump from Bambino to Babe Ruth. This
will help the transition. There is a big
drop off of children when transferring from
Bambino to Babe Ruth. There is such a jump in
skill level. We want to help these kids.
What about the kid that is eliminated from the
fall league but wants to play Babe Ruth? Will
he be that much more behind?
You have coaches that want more skill or not.
So a kid won't be excluded. There will be a
place for him in this program.

Right, We are just trying to treat this
different than summer ball. We vote for
twelve all stars, but what about number
thirteen that may actually be better than the
others. This is just a fact of life.
Do we have any scheduled maintenance after the
summer season for backstops, etc?
We won't have money until the first of the
year.
What other sports are there during this time?
Soccer and football. This doesn't differ much
from classic soccer?
It is a lot more expensive for soccer than
this. We ran through every opportunity that
we might go in the hole. It is an
experimental thing. We might come back next
summer and make changes to correct it.
Is eleven teams the magic number or can there
be more?
Yes, there can be more.
How many classic teams are there?
There are different levels of classic teams.
If we only get five teams from Fayetteville,
we will fill from the outside.
Do we need to hear from the summer Bambino
people?
We have four or five people from their board
on our board.
It should help the summer program. Talequah's
enrollment rose each year. They used the fall
program to enhance the summer program.
You will have pretty good rules set for picking
teams?
The Board will decide if there are any
problems.
The kids will fill out the forms.
How will you handle forms?
They have to turn in birth certificates.
The coaches are responsible for obtaining
accurate birth certificates, kids behaviors,
and coached behaviors. We as a board act
toward that coach if need be.
We require two board members at all games to
settle problems or disputes.
We will try to settle all problems
immediately. The fees will just be enough to
break even. The coach will be responsible for
equipment and uniforms. There is no other
expense for the kids.
Who pays light bill?

Simco:
h:Baseball gets narrowed down really easily. By
the time you get to older ages there is only a
handful playing. There should be some
compromise between competition level and
bringing in as many kids as you can.
We are losing a lot of kids between major
Bambino to Babe Ruth. Maybe this will prepare
them to enjoy it more.
Do they need to be on a larger field for
stealing etc?
We will move the bases back.
SR. CITIZEN'S CENTER PROGRESS: JAN SIMCO
We will be asking City Council on May 17 to
consider grant award to Council on Aging for
$375,000 from Community Development Block
grant. The Sang Center is bursting at the
seams, there is no parking left. This center
is needed. The grant we are proposing will be
awarded to the Council and they will have full
authority to spend that money. There will be
an initial $25,000 used to develop a design
study, conceptual plan, scale model, and
estimate of entire cost. We will then begin
raising funds. The remaining $350,000 will
probably fund thirty to forty percent of the
total cost. With the scale model we can go to
the mall and other groups for funding. We
want to ensure the center has enough land for
the center and the handicapped accessible
trail. Stephen Miller said maybe we can use
trail funds grants to complete trails. This
map is the most recently reported plat on file
PRAB Page 13
from the late 60s. This is pretty close to
what was drawn on the Walker Park master plan.
Once we get the grant approved, we will begin
planning and then raise funds.
Kimbrough:Has there been any discussion on renovating the
house or are we building on to it?
Simco: The problem with the building is it is a two
story structure. It is worth leaving up. We
could use the first floor and maybe the second
floor could be used for a caretaker to live on
site. We could add on to the house. The
Council asked if they could go ahead and lease
that property. We said yes and the lease has
been signed.
Clark: You will continue to use the Sang Avenue
Center even after completion?
Simco: Yes, we will plan to use Sang as the kitchen
facility. The new center will have a kitchen
but it will be much smaller.
Waite: We have discussed a trail system that might
link to the handicap trail. Will this cause a
problem? Does it have to be dedicated for
this?
Simco: No, that is fine. The City will own the
facility and the trail once it is built.
Clark: We are using the garage for maintenance right
now.
Simco: There will be Sang staff people moving in and
start cleaning up. We want to start using it
as soon as possible. Some one will be there
at least during the week.
Waite: We might want to discuss how parking goes
there for dual usage, etc.
IX. BUTTERFIELD SCHOOL PARK
Butterfield School Park is requesting matching funds for
a pavilion/gazebo at their school. In 1993, PRAB approved
to spend up to $10,000 in green space funds. Only $5,207
was expended on basketball backboards/goals and
playground apparatus. Currently, there is a balance of
$56,623 in the Green Space escrow account. Approximately
$25,000 is committed to the Gulley Park restrooms,
leaving a uncommitted balance of $31,623.
Discussion:
Driver: What is the figure requested?
Edmonston:This is for a 30' x 36' pavilion which is
$11,566 with school maintenance providing slab
and maintenance. They will match up to half
or whatever the PRAB will give.
•

PRAB Page 14
Clark: This will go where to pond was drained and
filled. They feel a pavilion will be suitably
used. It would be used for classes,
recreation, and open to the community. There
would be tables and benches.
Driver: Their original request leaves them shy of what
they need. They are requesting the additional
amount to match funds.
Kimbrough:What did we give them money for?
Edmonston:A playground apparatus and basketball
backboards. Now they have decided they have
to fill the pond area in and they want a
pavilion.
MOTION:WAITE/JAMES
The PRAB approves up to $12,000 to come from northeast
park district green space funds for recreational
facilities at Butterfield School.
MOTION APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY 4-1 (BELL NAY)
X. PRAB FACILITIES REPORT ON CREEKWOOD SUBDIVISION MEETING
ON APRIL 15, 1994:
Susan Driver, Johnny James, Bill Waite, Dale Clark and
Connie Edmonston met with Richard Doyle at the Creekwood
Subdivision site off of Mount Comfort Road to view the
proposed park site.
Discussion:
Waite: The concept is great. Richard is going to go
ahead and put in a park to help sell his
subdivision. In 5 acres, they will have
trails, putting greens, etc. Five acres is
not a whole lot of area but the concept is
great.
Driver: He seems very dedicated to preserving trees
and natural beauty. It does provide a
potential linkage for us to Hamestring creek
and maybe to Highway 16.
We have met with other developers and they are
working on securing land to the south.
Is there anything we need to do to follow up?
Not now.

XI. OTHER BUSINESS
Driver:
I would like a rundown on green space
expenditures to be sent with a memo to Frances
Langham.

PRAB Page 15
Waite: Have you had calls on Jackson Heights? Can we
change the title of green space. People think
it means don't stack as many houses. That is
zoning not green space. We have no
authority there. It is more of a parks and
recreation ordinance. I would like to get
this out to the public. When they see the
density on Barrington Parke and Jackson
Heights, that is not our green space
Driver: I am not sure changing the name would solve
the problem.
Edmonston:Some cities use the term park impact fees.
Waite: We need to get something out whether it is a
letter to the editor or an article.
Driver: You would be just the man to draft that
letter.
Waite: Okay, I will draft something.
Driver: The City Attorney has drafted a revision of
the rezoning ordinance. That is where that
belongs.
Kimbrough:When you set the budget committee, maybe May 12
or 13, 1994? We have to know what we want
before we attempt to pay for it.
Waite: We need to wait until we hear from baseball
and soccer. It will take a little time to
come up with this meeting. I would hope to
have it next week.
Driver: It would be good to have both of these
meetings before the May 16th meeting.
Waite: It will be a long meeting. We need to
restrict the number of people that show up
