Administration Building located at 113 West Mountain Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present:
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Biendara, Hatfield, Hazelrigs, Lindsey,

Edmonston, Jones, Humphry, Jumper, Gipson, Thomas and the audience were present.

seconded it. Motion passed 8-0-0 by voice vote.
2. Botanical Garden Annual Report: Walt Eilers, BGSO Board
President
No update was given. Filers was unable to attend the meeting.
3. Trails Update: Matt Mihalevich, Trails
Coordinator
Mihalevich gave a brief overview of the 2010 trail projects. The trail projects will be
located in several different areas in Fayetteville. They are: Bryce Davis Park; a grant
funded project at Old Missouri Road; a piece of Frisco Trail; a west trail connection
crossing the U of A farm; and Oak Ridge Trail. He said that there are new bike
symbols for bike lanes called sharrows. These symbols will be used on approximately
6 miles of Fayetteville streets.
Meinecke asked about the schedule for finishing the Lake Fayetteville loop.
Mihalevich said the goal is to have it done by 2011. It still needs design work.
Meinecke asked if there would be any bridges built.
Mihalevich said that would be an option.
Hatfield asked if the snow from the recent storm would be plowed off the trails.
Humphry said that they are plowed, but the trail cleaning is prioritized.
4. 2009 Annual Report: Connie Edmonston, Parks &
Recreation Director
According to Article II, Chapter 33.018 (B) in the Fayetteville Code of Ordinances,
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is to prepare an annual report to City Council.
This report is included in the attachments. Once approved by PRAB, this document
will be forwarded to the City Council.
Edmonston discussed the annual report.
Hatfield commented that it would be good to use a pool chart showing daily
attendance, rather than yearly attendance. It would be a powerful tool.
Edmonston commented that in the past, the adult softball teams' numbers were
estimated. Now an exact count is used.
Mauritson said he liked the ice storm picture.
Hazelrigs said that she would like to have time to review the report. She asked if it
would be a problem to table the vote on the report until the next meeting.
Edmonston said it would be fine to table it.
PRAB Staff Recommendation: To approve the 2009 Annual Report
PRAB Motion: Hazelrigs motioned to table the vote to give everyone time to review
the annual report. Mauritson seconded it. Motion passed 8-0-0.
5. Other Business:
Edmonston said the HMR decision goes before the Council tomorrow night.
Meinecke asked if PRAB needed to make a stand.
Edmonston said it didn't have to be done, but that was an option.
Mauritson said that he was concerned that the money for parks maintenance would go
elsewhere.
Biendara said that the board needs to stay on top of the situation, so the money will be
there when needed.
Edmonston commented that there never is the amount of money needed, but Parks
Department manages with what it is given.
Biendara said that since people have less money, they will be using the parks for
staycations. It's important to be able to maintain the park system.
Hatfield said there is concern over funds since the HMR taxes are fluctuating.
2
Edmonston said an analysis was done, and, over the years, the money has been pretty
stable. Because of park land dedications, we will have land.
Mauritson said that he is concerned, but the City and the community uses and
appreciates the parks and trails. There's support out there, and appreciation. The Parks
staff can do everything with nothing!
Edmonston said that it was a team effort.
Meinecke asked when would be the best time to address the Council of his concerns.
Edmonston replied that the Council meeting tomorrow night was short, so that might
be a good time.
Hazelrigs asked when the next Trail Trekkers meeting was.
Edmonston replied that it was on February 25, 2010 in room 219 at 5:30 p.m.
Hatfield asked if the program has had a good response.
Gipson said yes, there have been several volunteers already working.
Mihalevich said that on March 2nd, the Butterfield Trail Study will be kicking off. The
National Park Service will be coming. Parks maintenance is working on the cleanup of
the trail.
6. Adjournment
