Andrew Hall, and Jamie Jones attended the August 2, 1999 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting to present a proposal to raise $15,000 to $20,000 in donations to construct an overlook structure at Mt. Sequoyah Gardens Park to be named the "Ray Adams Memorial September 13, 1999 / Page 1 • • • PRAB Regular Meeting Overlook" or a name similar with Ray Adam's name included. MOTION: Mr. Alexander moved to accept the proposal from Ron Austin and associated parties to raise $15,000 to $20,000 in donations to construct an overlook structure at Mt. Sequoyah Gardens Park to be named the "Ray Adams Memorial Overlook" or a name similar with Ray Adam's name included. Mr. Colwell seconded the motion. Mr. Shoulders asked if any feed back had been received from the neighborhood. Chairwoman Thiel said the Facilities Committee needs to look at the proposed designs from the neighborhood. Mr. Ackennan said the design work was being finalized and a meeting date should be set within two to three weeks. A timetable presented by Mr. Austin was questioned by Mr. Ackerman. Ms. Edmonton reminded the group that the park land needed to settle for at least a year before any construction could begin. Mr. Ackerman said the presented timetable would be in advance of construction. The motion carried unanimously, 8-0-0. 3. Ozark Volleyball Club Proposal: Clem Johnson The Ozark Volleyball Club has requested to light two sand volleyball courts at Veterans Memorial Park. Parks staff recommends for the Ozark Volleyball Club to solicit donations for the poles and lights The Parks Division would be responsible for building a gate estimated at $1,000, the electrical work estimated at $2,500, and the monthly electrical bill. Staff proposes this project be funded out of the Northeast Park District Green Space Fund. Clem Johnson said the Ozark Volleyball Club raised funds for the lights and Ozarks Electric donated the poles and the labor to install the poles. MOTION: Mr. Colwell moved to accept Ozark Volleyball Club's request to solicit donations for the poles and lights. The Parks Division would be responsible for building a gate estimated at $1,000, the electrical work estimated at $2,500, and the monthly electrical bill. The $3,500 project expense will be funded from the Northeast Park District Green Space Fund. Mr. Luttrell seconded the motion. Mr. Stockland asked if a user fee would be imposed. Ms. Edmonston said the Ozark Volleyball Club did not require daily preparation or maintenance of the volleyball courts. User fees are primarily imposed on organizations which require daily assistance. Mr. Schuldt said the majority of the work performed was accomplished by the Ozark Volleyball Club on a volunteer basis. September 13, 1999 / Page 2 • • • PRAB Regular Meeting Mr. Colwell inquired as to whether timers would be used on the lights like the tennis courts at Wilson Park. Ms. Edmonston said the group would be responsible for turning the lights on and off. The electrical costs associated with lighting the volleyball courts would be minimal. Other groups might possibly utilize the lights as well. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Ackerman thanked Ozarks Electric for their generous donation. The motion was approved 8-0-0. 4. Hotz Park Bridge Donation Proposal - Bradley Edwards, University Heights Neighborhood Association: The University Heights Neighborhood Association has requested to donate and construct a bridge in memory of Elizabeth Coleman at Palmer Street into Hotz Park. They would provide all materials and labor to complete the bridge. This bridge would cross a low water drainage area and provide easy access to the park. No permit is required. Bradley Edwards, chairman of the University Heights Neighborhood Association, presented a drawing of the proposed bridge. Donations for the twenty foot pedestrian bridge have been received, and a fund raising campaign will soon get underway. A building team is being organized utilizing neighborhood residents and others. The wood structure with concrete supports will be engineer approved, will meet ADA regulations, and will have minimal impact on the existing terrain. No trees or shrubs will need to be removed or altered in the construction of this bridge. The bridge will be named in memory of Elizabeth Coleman. MOTION: Mr. Ackerman moved to enter into an agreement to work with the University Heights Neighborhood Association on a pedestrian bridge for Hotz Park. The University Heights Neighborhood Association will fund the bridge and construct the bridge in conjunction with City staff to ensure all requirements are met. The structure will be named in memory of Elizabeth Coleman. Mr. Alexander seconded the motion. The motion was approved 8-0-0. 5. Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Contractor's Committee Pavilion Donation at Lake Fayetteville: O.E. Luttrell Mr. Luttrell reported each year the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Contractors Committee selects a building project in the community. Eric Schuldt, Parks Development Coordinator, presented a project for a pavilion at Lake Fayetteville. A meeting this afternoon has changed the scope of the project from a twelve foot by twenty-four foot pavilion to a larger structure. Ms. Edmonston said the proposed pavilion was September 13, 1999 / Page 3 • • • PRAB Regular Meeting approximately thirty foot by sixty foot and would somewhat echo in nature the pavilion at the University of Arkansas Agri Park with possibly a kitchen and restroom facilities. The proposal was submitted by the American Fishing Association. Ms. Edmonston said it was yet to be determined whether the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Contractor's Committee would be interested in participating in a cooperative project for a larger structure or more interested in a turnkey operation. Walker Park North and Lewis Soccer Complex were other locations given for consideration if the committee was interested in a turnkey operation as opposed to a cooperative project. Ms. Thiel expressed parking concerns if the pavilion was constructed at Lake Fayetteville. Mr. Ackerman said there was sufficient parking and overflow, if necessary, could utilize the parking lot at the softball complex. Mr. Colwell suggested a pavilion would get more use if located closer to the softball complex. Mr. Ackerman said there was a need for a nice pavilion at Lake Fayetteville to complement the amenities existing. Ms. Edmonton said if kitchen facilities were included in a pavilion, locating it near the boat dock would allow supervision from the boat dock operator. Mr. Luttrell requested that a plaque of recognition also be included recognizing the Chamber of Commerce and the various donators and contributors associated with the project. MOTION: Mr. Stockland moved to authorize Parks staff to work with the Chamber of Commerce Contractor's Committee in the design and construction of a pavilion at a park in Fayetteville and further authorize staff if a larger pavilion is determined to be constructed at Lake Fayetteville, to work with the Chamber of Commerce Contractor's Committee in a cost sharing arrangement. The Chamber of Commerce will be recognized with a name plate as well as contributors to the project. Mr. Luttrell seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved, 8-0-0. 6. Approval of Proposed 2000 Parks and Recreation Division Budget: Changes in the proposed 2000 budget included increasing the Fayetteville Youth Center transfer to accommodate the salaries and benefits transferred from the City to the Youth Center per agreement. Major decreases in the line items were placed on the target overrun list. Funding was shifted from the general Parks Maintenance program to the Parks Maintenance and Development program in the Landscape Maintenance line item to obtain the target budgets. MOTION: Mr. Stockland moved to approve the revised proposed 2000 budget as presented. Mr. Alexander seconded the motion.

Bridgeport Subdivision Development: Engineer: Owner: Location: Park District: Priority: Units: Land Dedication Requirement: Money in Lieu: 1990 Needs: 2010 Needs: Existing: Staff Recommendation Bridgeport Subdivision Phases IV - VI Engineering Design Associates (EDA), Mike Marie Richard Doyle West of Hwy. 540, South of Mt. Comfort Rd. Northwest No Priority Assigned 98 Single Family Units on 36.24 acres 1.745 (2.45 is required, but the developer has already banked an additional .705 acres in previous phases) $36,750 7.5 - 15 Acres 18 - 36 Acres Bridgeport (Red Oak Park 3.73), Bundrick Park 4.25 acres, Meadowlands 3.08 acres, Davis Park 9.2 acres Park staffrecommends taking a combination of money in lieu and land dedication. The developer has agreed to donate .69 acres of land located between two existing park areas. This new land will improve our existing park and make both areas more accessible for the citizens. In addition, the developer will provide $15,825 to complete his requirement of the Park Land Ordinance. Ms. Edmonton said during Phases I, II, and III, an additional amount of park land was obtained to be banked for later phases. The park land dedication required is 2.45 acres. However, .705 acres has been banked making the required land dedication for Phases IV, V, and VI 1.745 acres. Staff recommends taking a combination of money in lieu and land dedication. The .69 acres of land would connect Willows Springs and Fieldstone with Bridgeport (Red Oak Park) and provide access to both through Bridgeport. Mr. Colwell asked if there were any problems with fences infringing on the right of way. Ms. Edmonston said it appears there is a driveway partially on it. Richard Doyle, Bridgeport Subdivision owner, said there is no drive way on the easement but rather a place for parking. Mr. Doyle said he poured concrete attached to a driveway because the building inspectors allowed someone to build a house and pour up to the property line. Mr. Doyle said he poured an access where people could drive from somewhere else in the development and park four cars on the driveway. At the end of the concrete, Mr. Doyle said there would be an approach twenty foot wide going down to a four foot wide approach filled with grit like the existing walk trail. The trail will go along the edge of the property and tie into the other trail to complete a .75 mile radius so people are not obligated to drive to the other side to access the park. Ms. Edmonston said staff did not want parking there because people could drive into the park. Mr. Doyle said he hasn't finished the sidewalk. He said he cut the curb, but he hasn't poured the last eight feet of concrete or placed the grit. He said he spent several thousand dollars cleaning up the area like he had spent $65,000 on the rest of the park so when it was presented to the City it would only require maintenance. September 13, 1999 / Page 5 • • • PRAB Regular Meeting Ms. Edmonston said the concrete needed to be removed to prevent off street parking and for safety reasons. Staff recommends a combination of land dedication and money in lieu contingent upon removing the concrete driveway, a park boundary sign which had been removed to be reset by a surveyor, and the clearing of boulders and debris at the end of the easement. Mr. Doyle said he did not have a problem with the request. MOTION: Mr. Luttrell moved to accept .69 acres of land and $15,825 money in lieu to complete the requirements of the Park Land Ordinance contingent upon the concrete removal, the clearing of boulders and debris, and the resetting of a park boundary sign by a surveyor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Alexander. The motion was approved 8-0-0. 8. Other Business: A report of the Greathouse Park bridge project is scheduled to be on the October 5, 1999 City Council meeting. An amendment to CEI Engineers for additional work and study of the Greathouse bridge project will be on the September 21 City Council meeting agenda. The waiver of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance for the Silverthome Subdivision will be on the October 5 City Council meeting agenda. At the September 8, 1999 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board special meeting, PRAB voted on the Park Land Dedication Ordinance requirements of Butterfield Trail Village, Gary Brandon Subdivision, and Silverthome Subdivision. Ms. Edmonston reported that .235 acres of land has been donated by Rick Caywood for the construction of a concession stand and restroom building at Babe Ruth Park. West Campus will work on phases of this project. Ms. Edmonston announced that the City of Fayetteville has been named the fifteenth `itchiest' city in the United States. Mr. Alexander commented on the easement for Greathouse Park. Ms. Edmonston said Mr. Towers would like the City to look into other alternatives before granting a permanent easement due to the expense involved. There is still doubt regarding whether Mr. Towers is willing to grant a permanent easement. Access from the north is favored, but any access on the other side is a plus. Ms. Edmonston said ADA access could not be provided in another area separate from the main entrance. The goal is to provide a safe access to the park for everyone. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board regular October meeting is scheduled for October 4, 1999. September 13, 1999 / Page 6 9.

Approval of PRAB July 14, 1999 meeting minutes ITEM TABLED UNTIL SEPTEMBER REGULAR MEETING. 2. Mt. Sequoyah Gardens Park Proposal: Ron Austin, City Alderman Ward 1 Alderman Ron Austin proposed raising $15,000-$20,000 from friends and family of Ray Adams to give to the Parks Fund to be used as needed toward construction of an overlook structure at Mt. Sequoyah Gardens Park. In return the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board would name the overlook structure the "Ray Adams Memorial Overlook" or similar with his name being included. Mr. Austin introduced Mr. Adams' widow, Edythe Adams, Andrew Hall, and Jamie Jones. Ray Adams was a florist in Fayetteville for fifty years. He served on the Fayetteville School Board, was active in many civic activities, and was a deacon of Fayetteville's First Baptist Church. Mr. Adams was an avid gardener and made a difference in the lives and the environment of those around him. Mr. Austin presented a timetable with goals he wished to achieve. Mr. Austin said he would like to make the donations tax deductible, and said the group did not want to dictate what was constructed at the site. Ms. Thiel said the neighborhood has designed an overlook which will likely exceed $15,000 which will be presented to the Facilities Committee at a later date. Staff supports the proposal. 3. Facilities Committee Meeting: A Facilities Committee meeting will be scheduled at a later date. August.2, 1999 / Page I PRAB Regular Meeting 4. Ozark Volleyball Club Proposal: Clem Johnson Clem Johnson, a twenty year resident of Fayetteville and active participant of the Ozark Volleyball Club, proposed lighting two of the sand volleyball courts at Veterans Memorial Park. Ozark Volleyball Club constructed two of the courts at the park, and the group has maintained a membership of 60-70 participants for many years. Ozark Volleyball Club is an Adopt -A -Park sponsor of Veterans Memorial Park. During summer months, the sand is too hot on which to play volleyball until later hours. The addition of lights to these two courts would greatly increase usage by extending the time and number of games in the City league and extending seasonal usage. Ozark Volleyball Club proposes holding tournaments to raise money to purchase eight light fixtures at cost from Upchurch Electric for $2,772. Ozarks Electric will offer four poles at cost for $133 each and donate two employees and a truck for one day. Ozarks would install the poles, the fixtures, and the conduit and wiring to a switch box. Mr. Johnson requests the City purchase the poles and provide wiring. Mr. Johnson will obtain costs estimates on electrical wiring and pursue additional donations for the project. Staff presented a plan to add an additional gate at Veterans Memorial Park and signage for additional security measures when the park is opened extended hours. Ms. Edmonston reported that a budget adjustment request will be presented to City Council for the Street Division to re -pave the entrance to Veterans Memorial Park. 5. Park Video: Walker Park Walker Park was the second park added to the Fayetteville Parks system in 1949 and is located in south Fayetteville between 151h and 13'" streets. Walker Park contains three parcels of land totaling about 66 acres purchased at different time periods to expand this popular park. Walker Park is known as the home of "Baseball for Youth" and a place to play soccer, ultimate frisbee, horseshoes, handball/racquetball, tennis, for picnicking, or a place to have family or social gatherings by utilizing the large pavilion and playgrounds. The first ten acre parcel of land was purchased by the Boy's Club from Mrs. Henry Walker in 1949. The Boy's Club sold the park to the City in 1955 for $10,000. In 1960, Henry Walker donated additional land in the lot to the City and thus the park was named Walker Park. The Fayetteville Jaycees began developing the park into a baseball complex for youth in 1960-1965. The City underwrote a loan of $12,000 to the Little League, Incorporated for construction of the fields. In 1968, an agreement was made with the Sherman Lollar Little League to operate the City's baseball program at Walker Park. Two tennis courts were built in 1975. The tennis courts and basketball court are included in the proposed Parks Capital Improvement Program to be renovated in the year 2000. The five baseball diamonds were completely renovated in 1978 through 1981 for $40,000 from Community Development Block Grant Funds, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Heritage Conservation and Recreation, U.S. Department of the Interior, and Arkansas Department of Local Services. A monument August 2, 1999 / Page 2 4 • • • PRAB Regular Meeting was installed at the entry gate on 13th street honoring the project. Field 116 was built in 1987 and 1988 by donations received from the Little League Board of Directors in the amount of $5,400. In 1988, the City Parks Division built the dugout for Field #6, installed a handicapped drinking fountain by the picnic area, installed a tot playground. and playground apparatus with assistance from Community Development Funds. The playgrounds were replaced in 1999 to meet playground standards with a 50/50 match grant from Arkansas Parks and Tourism for a total project cost of$60,000. A recycled rubberized cushioned play surface system was installed underneath the equipment to maximize safety for falls and to minimize maintenance. The sand volleyball court was installed in 1989, with assistance from Community Development Block Grant Funds. The Sherman Lollar Baseball Association once again donated $12,000 to light Field #6 in 1990 to meet the needs of the increased number of participants and to expand the program with five -year-olds T -ball league. A walk bridge was installed to connect the parking lot on the west side across the creek with the baseball facility in 1993. Again the Baseball Board Association assisted with a $3,000 donation and Greenspace funds of $1,593 were utilized for the bridge. The west parking lot was built by the Street Division on the far west side of the park, and nineteen horseshoe pits were built jointly by the City and N.W.A. Horseshoe Pitchers Association. With the continued growth of the baseball program to 900 participants, Field # 7 for T -ball was built utilizing Sales Tax funds of $37,852 in 1993. Lights were installed the following year. Concrete restrooms were designed and built in 1994, located by the baseball facility to serve the west and north portion of Walker Parks. Field 118, which is the newest field, was constructed across 13" street in Walker Park North in 1995, fora total of $51,735. Swepco donated $3,800 in light poles and lights along Block Street in 1997 for additional security at night. In 1998, the City Street Division overlaid asphalt on the baseball service road and the area surrounding the concession stand to minimize dust. With assistance from the Bambino Association, 3 batting cages were constructed in 1998, which has been a positive addition for the coaches to teach baseball skills to the participants. In 1999, at the request of the Bambino Baseball Association, the Parks and Recreation Division daily prepares the 8 baseball fields. An additional 2 man crew was hired to perform these duties at a professional level. In 1999, the parking lot on the west side of the baseball field was asphalted by the City Street Division. A new 100 space parking lot north of the baseball complex was completed. A 36 foot pavilion is currently being constructed in the middle of the park to replace the old pavilion. Walker Park North The second parcel of property containing 10.64 acres was purchased in 1980 with City and Community Development Block Grant Funds in the amount of $45,000. Dr. Albert Einert was contracted to create a master plan of the park. John Reed donated an additional 1.63 acres to the park in 1985. In 1988, .86 acres was donated by Bryan and Sara Walker. Then, three soccer fields were constructed, sprigged, and irrigation installed by 1991, with assistance from the Soccer Association, Park Land Ordinance Funds, and City Funds. In 1995, one of the soccer fields was developed into baseball field # 8 to accommodate the growing number of participants in the baseball program and because of the construction of the soccer complex on Lewis August 2, 1999 / Page 3 PRAB Regular Meeting Avenue that served the soccer participants. In 1999, trees were planted by Neighborwoods in the north part of the park and a BMX track is to be completed. Walker Park Expansion In 1992, the City purchased 34 acres in the amount of $200,000 for land to the east of Walker North on 13th Street to expand the activities at Walker Park. Bob Callans and Associates designed the development of the park. Several public meetings to solicit input from the public, soccer and baseball organizations were held before a Master Plan was approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and the City Council. A Senior Citizens Complex is currently being designed to be located in the north portion of this park utilizing Sales Tax and HMR finding totaling $560,000. It is certain that the development of Walker Park would not have been possible without the community spirit of the baseball program, soccer association, horseshoe club, charitable donations of land from local citizens, Swepco, Community Development Block Grant Funds, Arkansas Parks and Tourism, Block Grant Funds, the City of Fayetteville, and the many park volunteers. Together utilizing funds and volunteer hours, Walker Park has been developed into a highly utilized park that meets a variety of recreational needs for the community to enjoy. 6. Other Business: Mr. Colwell reported two frisbee golf baskets at Gulley Park were located near park benches which raises safety concerns. There has also been complaints received of fence damage from patrons climbing over the fence. 7.

Price Avenue in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Thiel at 12:00 noon. Members Present: Colwell, Eads, Luttrell, Shoulders, Stockland, Thiel Staff Present: Edmonston, Gulley, Nelson, Rogers, Schuldt, Wright Guests Present: David Todd, CEI Engineering; Paul Libertini, City Engineering; Fran Alexander, Neighborwoods; Andrea Fournet, Friends For Fayetteville; Terry Eastin Media Present: Julie Tribble, KIX 104 Jill Rohrbach, Morning News Laura Kellams, AR Democrat Gazette Don Michaels, NWA Times Phillip Walrod, NWA Times Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chairwoman Brenda Thiel said there was a viable concern for the number of trees required to remove in order to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements to install a 75 -foot prefabricated bridge. Major concerns associated with the needs for a bridge include providing a safe access, the loss of an easement on the property which was once Levi Strauss, and by widening the channel future flooding could be eased. It was a consensus of the group that closing the park was not a consideration. Parks and Recreation Superintendent Connie Edmonston said parks are for trees, and they provide many benefits. However, Greathouse Park is the only park in the immediate area, and the neighborhood deserved a park with a safe access to it. Furthermore, Ms Edmonston said the City of Fayetteville must adhere to federal regulations. David Todd, an engineer with CEI Engineering, explained the scope of the project by walking those in attendance through the course of the channelization. Channelization is required to not raise the base flood level. City Engineer, Paul Libertini, said during flooding water could get as much as eight feet above the park land. When asked whether an environmental impact study had been completed to see how the creek would be affected, Mr. Todd replied that only a hydraulic analysis required by FEMA had been completed to see the effects of flooding. The contractor will be required to take soil erosion precautions, and the banks will be sodded. Andrea Fournet, chairwoman of the group Friends for Fayetteville, said the project would change the entire ecosystem. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Gail Eads said some of the existing trees would eventually be lost due to the natural flow of the creek current and cited other areas as examples. • August 26, 1999 / 1 The possibilities of alternatives were discussed including low-water bridges, higher versus lower bridges, and other entry points. Mr. Todd said the project is the most cost-effective way to meet the most objectives; the least number of trees will be removed while meeting federal guidelines including compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Opponents of the project suggested condemning property for an easement. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Tom Stockland said condemning the Levi Straus property was not viable due to the fact that there is public access. Terry Gulley, Parks and Recreation Turf and Facility Coordinator, said condemnation was generally considered in cases involving 'land lock'. Opponents charged the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and City of Fayetteville of rushing into the project. Ms. Thiel said the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board had been looking at the project for two years Ms. Edmonston read the group a letter submitted by an 11 -year-old neighborhood child requesting the installation of a new bridge. Ms. Fournet said she doubted people realized the magnitude of the impact and probably envisioned a foot bridge. She suggested temporarily closing the park until other alternatives could be reached. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Bob Shoulders said although tree removal was unsettling, he did not want to sacrifice a child because of unsafe access. MOTION: Mr. Stockland moved to approve the plan as proposed by staff and proceed with the Greathouse Bridge project. Mr. Shoulders seconded the motion. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Wade Colwell asked if an exemption of FEMA guidelines had been applied. Kim Rogers, Parks and Recreation Operations Coordinator, said Tim Conklin, City Planner, had plead the case but a waiver of regulations cannot be obtained. Mr. Todd asked if FEMA had granted an exemption for a negative flood impact would the City still want to go ahead with the project while negatively impacting the surrounding homes? City staff said no. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member 0 E Luttrell said this was a project which included a sacrifice no one liked. However, it was one sacifice to save a whole unit. The motion was approved 6-0-0. The meeting adjourned at 1:05 p.m. Minutes taken by JohnNelson August 26, 1999 / 2 • • • • a • • PRAB 2000 BUDGET PROPOSAL SPECIAL MEETING AUGUST 30, 1999 A special Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting was held at the Parks and Recreation Division located at 1455 Happy Hollow Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The purpose of the meeting was for staff to present the 2000 proposed budget and answer questions relating to the budget proposal. The lunch meeting began at 12:00 noon. Members Present: Ackerman, Alexander, Colwell, Luttrell, Shoulders, Thiel Staff Present: Media Present: Edmonston, Evans, Braswell, Hobbs, Gulley, Nelson, Schuldt, Wright, Budget Coordinator, Steve Davis, and Public Works Director, Charlie Venable Laura Kellams, Arkansas Democrat Gazette Matt Wagner, Northwest Arkansas Times Jill Rohrbach, Morning News Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chairwoman Brenda Thiel introduced City of Fayetteville Public Works Director, Charlie Venable and Budget Coordinator, Steve Davis. Mr. Davis distributed an annual budget flow chart which illustrates the courses taken throughout preparation. The Annual Budget and Work Program is a fiscal plan which presents the services which will be provided to the community and the funds needed to perform these services. The proposed budget will be presented to the Mayor in November. The Mayor will then present the proposed budget to City Council for consideration. The target budget is established by removing capital expenditures and applying an inflator (five and one-half percent this year). Prior to establishing the inflator, Budget and Research examines revenue trends (four percent growth is fairly conservative). No inflator is applied to any other category than personnel services. Target overruns, new personnel requests, and capital items were briefly explained. Mr. Davis said the general fund is not growing as rapidly as other funds. There is more competition for the general fund from public safety entities such as police and fire. Turf and Facility Coordinator, Terry Gulley, presented new personnel requests. With the increase in operations and facilities, additional programming and maintenance must be addressed. The Gary Hampton Softball Complex has a significant impact on the 2000 budget. With the introduction of a new facility and more programming, additional personnel is required for operations. Parks and Recreation Development Coordinator, Eric Schuldt, presented a projected budget for athletics for 2000. The Hampton Complex will host additional programs, additional tournaments, and provide an overflow for adult games. A new set of working procedures and responsibilities for the Parks and Recreation Division and the Fayetteville Youth Center was presented. The Parks and Recreation August 30, 1999 / 1 Division is committed to being an active player in the programs provided at facilities for which it is responsible. The goal is to define and improve the current working relationship to ensure more efficient operations. Program Coordinator, David Wright, presented an overview of twelve programs for 2000, eight of which will be new. Programs include youth softball, youth tennis lessons, adult softball, adult flag football, and youth/adult soccer. Parks and Recreation Superintendent, Connie Edmonston, presented the proposed 2000 operating budgets for the Administration, Swimming Pool, Athletic/Recreation Transfers, Lake Maintenance, Parks Maintenance, and Parks Development and Maintenance programs. Motor pool and equipment requests and prioritized target overruns were also discussed. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member, Bill Ackerman, suggested subtle advertising plans for the programs and events. Ms. Edmonston said program brochures for athletics and swimming pool were being budgeted for 2000. Ms. Thiel said it was crucial to provide funding for trees and landscaping for Greathouse Park. Ms. Edmonston said the Landscape Maintenance Specialist, Lisa Paschal, was developing a plan to determine the needs and costs for the park. Landscape Administrator, Kim Hesse, has indicated she will help fund trees. The group briefly discussed contract limitations regarding cell telephones and two-way radio capacity. Mr. Davis said request for qualifications had been let on the radio system, and the contract for cell phones would be re -bid in September.

Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk and Trails Administrator, has requested for Parks to require land for a trail head. This trail is planned to link into the Joyce Street trail and CMN trail over by the mall. Park staff agrees with this concept and to support our city wide trail system. City Sidewalk and Trails Administrator, Chuck Rutherford, requested the Parks and Recreation • Advisory Board acquire land for the development of a trail head. The trail head will serve as an entry September 8, 1999 / 1 point for a section of the proposed city wide trail system.

Park staff recommends a land dedication. This property is located immediately east of the Foster addition. The growth in this area has so much potential. We would recommend land that would adjoin adjacent subdivisions to increase the park size in order to serve this large growing area. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members met Gary Brandon, Brian Moore, and Michele Harrington at the site of the proposed development. This is a large growth area with potential in the future to acquire additional park land. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Members had noted during a May 17, 1999 meeting regarding the Stonewood development, that future park land dedication in this area needed to be reviewed closely. The proposed park land for Gary Brandon Subdivision is less than the required, but the developer has agreed to contribute money in lieu for the difference. MOTION: Mr. Luttrell moved to accept the proposed acreage and money in lieu for the balance of the required land dedication. Mr. Shoulders seconded the motion.

This would require a waiver of the Park Land Ordinance to City Council because it contains over 40 acres. This subdivision requires only 1.48 acres. There are a large number of one acre lots in this subdivision with no potential for expansion to the south and little to the west. It is in close proximity to Farmington, 2,500 feet to the west and 1,000 feet to the south. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members met John Deweese, Brian Moore, and Michele Harrington at the site of the proposed development. Rezoning is scheduled to be addressed at the September 21, 1999 City Council meeting. MOTION: Mr. Luttrell moved to accept money in lieu of land dedication due to the extreme position of the property and the Targe size of lots to be developed and recommend a waiver of the Park Land Ordinance from City Council.

I propose to raise $15,000-$20,000 from friends and family of Ray Adams (deceased) to give to the Parks Fund to be used as needed and in return the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board would name the overlook structure the "Ray Adams Memorial Overlook" or something similar with his name being a part. I have secured permission from his widow, Edythe, and two of his children, a son and a daughter, to raise the funds. Each of them will contribute toward the project. They have expressed deep appreciation for the potential honor of their husband and father. Ray Adams was a florist in Fayetteville for fifty years. He served on the Fayetteville School board for about twenty years and was president a number of those. He was active in many civic activities and was an active deacon of Fayetteville's First Baptist Church until his accidental death at the age of eighty-nine. He was a long time member of the Rotary Club and served as District Governor. His family once owned property on which now are located the V.A. Hospital and Woodland Jr. High School. He is remembered by many of the "old-timers' as having surprised them with a bouquet of beautiful flowers on occasion. He loved gardening, raising flowers and growing plants. When he died, he had a number of "projects" laid out to complete. He was always working to make a difference in the lives and the environment of those around him. I can think of no better memorial than to link his name with such a beautiful park as the Sequoyah Gardens. I propose no timetable for the projects completion, no plans for the building of the structure, no agenda at all except to provide some funding with which the Parks Deportment can continue making a difference in the lives of the citizens of Fayetteville in the name of RAY ADAMS. 07/08/99 10:39 e501 665 2577 KINGSTON SCHOOL (Q003 TIMETABLE Contact Mrs. Adams for permission - January, 1999 Discuss with parks department - February, 1999 Develop the idea and present to family - Summer 1999 Present request to parks board - July, 1999 Press release, letter campaign - July -November, 1999 Present funds to parks dept.

Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 To Those of the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Board , The University Heights Neighborhood Assodation requests that a pedestrian bridge be constucted for access from Palmer Street to Hotz Park. The current access to the park is difficult and there has been a concerted effort on behalf of the Neighborhood Association and its members to rectify the situation. We are asking the Board permission to design and construct , at the expense of the University Heights Neighborhood Association, a pedestrian bridge for Hotz Park. There will be minimal impact on the existing terrain and no trees or shrubberies will need to be removed or altered in the construction of this bridge. Part of the impetus for this undertaking has to do with a woman, Elizabeth (Liz) Coleman who lost her life in November 1997 to a careless driver while logging very near her home. Liz was involved in some of the early planning for the renovation of Hotz Park, to which we are all very proud. The Neighborhood Association would like to dedicate the bridge to the memory of Liz Coleman and the bridge will be sited on axis with the Coleman residence, located directly accross Palmer Street from Hotz Park, where the widower Jeff Ash and their son still reside. The Neighborhood Association has already received donations for for the constructon of the bridge and a fund raising campaign will get underway shortly. All equipment, labor and some materials will be donated by the neighborhood association. The materials for the bridge are expected to run between $2,500.00 and $3,500.00, but a more detialed budget could be produced for the board if necessary.

In order to define and improve the current working relationship between the Fayetteville Youth Center (FYC) and the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division, it is recommended that a new set of operating procedures be established. Currently, both agencies are working under many verbal and assumed agreements. These arrangements lead to poor communication, indirect accountability and to feelings of apprehension. Increased communication and a new set of operating procedures will assist with the working relationship and will benefit both agencies. The goal of the FYC and the Parks and Recreation Division is to work in cooperation to enhance the recreation facilities and programs offered in the City of Fayetteville. The FYC and the Parks and Recreation Division must become partners in meeting the needs of the citizens of Fayetteville. The Parks and Recreation Division believes this would best be accomplished by defining and streamlining our responsibilities and procedures. The City of Fayetteville is recommending the merging of facility and program management for all recreation offerings. This merging will provide administrative accountability for all services provided to the citizens. The following is a detailed set of new operating procedures and responsibilities for the FYC and the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division. It is recommended that this new alignment go into effect January I, 2000. This new alignment will benefit the operation of both the FYC and the Parks and Recreation Division. All facility or service agreements between the Parks and Recreation Division, Public School System, and the FYC should have written documentation or contracts. In addition to the new operating procedures listed below, it is recommended that representatives from both agencies meet a minimum of two times per year to discuss any programming or facility issues effecting the recreational offerings to the citizens.

The Board of Directors will have the responsibility for prioritizing the use of these funds. Currently, the FYC receives an annual allocation of $228,923 from the City. This figure includes $182,694 from the Parks and Recreation Division budget and $46,229 from the Fleet Division. The allocation for 2000 is projected to be $253,671 from the City of Fayetteville. This figure includes $207,442 from the Parks and Recreation Division and $46,229 from the Fleet Division. The additional funds will help offset additional costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the three community gymnasiums. The allocation increase includes $15,178 to assist with the funding of gym supervisors. The remaining monies needed to fund these three gym supervisors will come from the playground supervisor and tennis instructor positions which are currently not being utilized by the FYC. The allocation increase also includes $9,570 for the total cost of two gym custodians. The FYC will be responsible for funding a gym supervisor at the new Washington school gymnasium. The FYC Board of Directors will have the ability to adjust the salaries and benefits provided to all of the FYC Staff. The money allocated by the City of Fayetteville for the Director's and Assistant Director's salary and benefits will not change, only the Board of Directors for the FYC will be given the authority to alter these allocations if deemed necessary. Beginning January 1, 2000, the salary and benefits allocated for the Assistant Director position will be reverted back to the FYC general operations. The funding for the FYC Director's salary and benefits will remain with the City until retirement in February and then will also be reverted back to the FYC general operations budget. The FYC Board of Directors and staff will be responsible for providing to the Public Works Director an annual financial report detailing their use of the City of Fayetteville's allocation. This report will be reviewed by the Director of Public Works and will be used in determining the FYC allocation for the following year.

The City awards annual contracts to boatdock operators at Lake Fayetteville and Lake Sequoyah to manage the lakes according to the City Ordinances. The boatdock operators manage the lakes by monitoring boatdock operations that consist of stall rentals, boat storage, and fishing/boating permits. The lake ordinances were revised in 1999 increasing lake stall rental fees.
