Present: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Bailey, Lindsey, Thompson, Meinecke, and Watson were present. Waite arrived later. Absent were Mason, Hazelrigs, and Meldrum. Staff members Edmonston, Humphry, Jaggers, Jumper, Jones, and Thomas were in attendance. AGENDA: 1. Approval of June 6, 2011 PRAB Meeting Minutes: PRAB Motion: Watson motioned to accept the minutes as written, and Lindsey seconded it. Motion passed 5-0-0 by voice vote. 2. Botanical Garden Monthly Report: Michael Lindsey Lindsey said that July 16 is the Firefly Fling. There will be lots of stations for kids. Home Depot donated fencing to the gardens. A grant was received for stream bank restoration after the spring flooding. 3. YRCC Program Update: Dustin Jaggers, YRCC Director Dustin Jaggers, the Yvonne Richardson Community Center Director gave a PowerPoint presentation telling about the different programs the YRCC offers. Jaggers said the programs are free. During the Summer Fun4Kids program, the children have activities at the YRCC in the morning, go to Owl Creek School for lunch, and then another activity, such as swimming, in the afternoon. There are weekly themes. The program lasts for eight weeks. Lindsey wanted to know how many kids were participating. 1 Jaggers said around fifty kids per week are signed up. The cut off is fifty, and then everyone else is put on a wait list. Meinecke said the programs sound great. Edmonston asked Jaggers to talk about the Back2School Bash. Jaggers said that 300 backpacks with school supplies are given out to children in August. Other events offered are the community Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas party, the NWA Wild Wheels, the FYWC wrestling camps, and the fall festival. Other programs offered are the Kid's Nite outreach, youth wrestling, judo, spring break camp, Fall Fundango, teen trips, Kid Crops, and AARP Tax -Aide. Edmonston said they are looking for a sponsor for the Back2School Bash for this year. Meinecke asked if there was a tutoring program. Jaggers said there was a program called E.A.S.Y. (Educational Assistance Supporting Youth). It used to be called Homework Help, but not many kids brought homework. Thompson asked about the garden program. Jaggers said it is called Kid Crops. Three of the City horticulturists teach the children how to plant, harvest, and use the produce from a garden at YRCC. When produce is picked from the garden, they cook it with the kids to demonstrate a healthy way to prepare it. He said that a veggie stand was build for Kid Crops give-away produce. It's located inside the YRCC for people to take what they want. Edmonston said she is proud of the programs at YRCC. 4. Regional Park Update: Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Director Edmonston said that the drainage plans are being redone due to the Streamside Ordinance. All the plans are moving along. Meinecke asked if the environmental hurdle has been taken care of. Jumper said the State has approved the contract, but work hasn't been started. 2 Edmonston said that a sign announcing the future regional park will be put up soon. Meinecke wanted to know if the sign would be visible from the road. Jumper said the State highway sign will be. It takes four to six weeks for a sign to be approved. 5. Other Business: Jones said Parks didn't receive the grant they wanted for the Lake Fayetteville Northshore Swing Improvements. The existing swing structure was handmade in 1982. It doesn't meet ADA specs and current safety standards. Parks has decided to demolish the old swings and replace them with new swings, including one ADA accessible swing. The safety surface, per current safety standards, has to be built a minimum of sixteen feet around the swing structure. It will have a concrete slab and a good safety surface. Rubber mulch will not be used due to its high maintenance. Jones said she estimated the project would be around $90,000. The lowest bid was $68,000. This cost includes high quality equipment that will last a long time, and will meet the current safety standards. Meinecke read the upcoming events. Edmonston handed out appreciation certificates to everyone on the board. She said she, and everyone in administration, appreciates the hard work of the volunteers and all the hours they have given to help improve the City of Fayetteville and the lives of the citizens. Meinecke asked if the Regional Park will have a pool. Edmonston said an aquatic park is a possibility. 6. Adjournment: Watson motioned to adjourn the meeting, and Thompson seconded it. Motion passed 6-0-0 by voice vote. Meeting was adjourned at 5:59 p.m. Minutes taken by Melanie Thomas 3 A proposal for the installation of a sculpture in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie This is a proposal for the donation, installation and maintenance of a sculpture in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie in South Fayetteville. The sculpture is being donated to the city by the Omni Center for Peace Justice and ecology for an anonymous donor. The Omni Center supported by contributions from the donor will prepare the site, install the sculpture with footings, earthworks and grass and will maintain the sculpture according to a schedule provided by the sculptor Hank Kaminsky. Description of the sculpture The sculpture is an installation composed of grass covered earth and a sculpted bronze relief. The work appears to be an upwelling of grassy soil with an inner spherical fouu, pushing upward and emerging from below. The bronze segment is covered with words, which are the words of the Peace Prayer: "May Peace Prevail on Earth" and are the same words as in the sculptors work in front of the Town Center off the Square in Fayetteville. It is not a segment of that sculpture but an independent work, which uses the same words. The attached drawings describe the sculpture in schematic terms. The bronze sculpture itself is a product of the teaching process used to train sculptors making the Peace Prayer fountain in the sculptor's studio. The anonymous donor saw the work at Kaminsky's studio and requested to purchase the work and place it in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie with the sculptor's guidance. The Omni Center will act as the sponsor of the work. Ongoing maintenance is minimal and requires occasional observation and possible corrections of any erosion, which may take place in the course of time. The work will need no further maintenance. If a plaque is desired to identify the work the Omni Center will provide one. The Omni Center and the donor will provide the costs for this project. Cost for earth moving, concrete footing and support structure is estimated to be approximately S1,200.00. Sod or grass to cover the mound will be approximately $500. The city will not be asked to pay any of these costs.

I have worked as a test engineer at Hazeltine Electronics, American Bosch Arma Corp. and at S&M Products Corp. in N.Y.C. (where I helped design a golf playing machine). My interest in the technology of art is reflected in my work at the Cooper Union in NYC (where I was employed as the facilities manager for the sculpture and architecture technical studios from 1967-1970) and before that at Queens College where 1 served as ceramics technician while a student there. I operated a bronze foundry in my home and on one of my two European trips. Since 1971 I have been working with a technique I call "Sand -Matrix Design." An example of this technique can be seen in the sculpture "Miracle of the Double Helix" which I installed in 1997 in Little Rock at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and more recently the World Peace Prayer fountain sculpture as mentioned below. I put myself through art school in Philadelphia by operating a service for sculptors. I have helped to form several organizations including the Brooklyn Free Press (a printing shop in New York), the "Museum -A Project of Living Artists," (a very large cooperative gallery in New York in the late 60's), The Eureka Brotherhood Cooperative and The Eureka Springs Guild of Artists and Craftspeople, both in Eureka Springs, AR. I was a founding member and first Vice President of the Artists of Northwest Arkansas. My business experience includes The Great Eureka Forgery (research and marketing of sandcast metals), A Show of Hands, Inc. (a crafts gallery in Eureka Springs, AR) and the Kaminsky Limited Partnership (a gold and gemstone business) in the late 70's. From 1992 to 2001 my wife and I operated a community Art School in Fayetteville AR called "The Art Experience" which also housed her art therapy and counseling office, my sculpture studio and the sculpture services business. In 2001 I moved my studio to a new, much larger building, which I call "The Village Sculptor." In this 6000 square foot studio the World Peace Prayer fountain was produced. This spherical bronze fountain is covered with the words "May Peace prevail on Earth" and sits at the Town Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was completed and installed on New Years Eve 2002. The studio now serves as a facility capable of both large and small productions. In 2004 I completed a large scale fountain sculpture project for the Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, AR. Then followed a 2 year period concentrating on personal works intended for gallery exhibition. I am currently working on a several small commissions and a collection of sculptures called The Sacred Ground Project. In this collection of garden sculptures, public art pieces and gallery works every piece will use the phrase: "You are Standing on Sacred Ground" in various languages, N CIRCLE RCHER 7 z a m ARDW, MVE'SIM' ¢ "' > �i a OF TAYLOR 1 FiEiI 7 L, > ■ a > a . m a REBECCA , DOUGLAS �re _ TR eLvD EN CIRCLE 'a _ I OSAGE_/020 APL . v �® II -A LOU SE.■••JO_H SO�L RUST i- 0 iani� ,1LII 2 m 2 y MAPLE y u LLo a 0 w, r, HALSELr o 0 �: t Site a R MT ORD i aAi HASKEL.

An infrared camera has been installed to monitor the skate park. Bids for connecting sidewalks to the Skate Park will be obtained in the second quarter of 2011. Construction is anticipated in the third quarter. Lights of the Ozarks The Lights of the Ozarks display was initiated in 1993 by the Chamber of Commerce. The Advertising & Promotion (A&P) Commission gave $40,000 the first year to help establish the event. For the past 16 years, the City has installed the lights and the Chamber of Commerce and the A&P Commission have organized related events. Over 500,000 lights are displayed from Thanksgiving until New Years Eve. The A&P Commission estimates over 200,000 people come to view the display. It is one of the most popular winter festivals in Fayetteville. Staff removed the 2010 display during the first quarter. The 2011 installation will begin in October and end with the lighting ceremony which is scheduled to be held on November 19. During the second quarter staff will apply for assistance through the A&P Commission which has awarded funding in previous years. Regional Park Development The Parks and Recreation Master Plan recommends the development of a Regional Park based upon data from public meetings, citizen survey results, a one day steering committee meeting, and interviews with public officials, staff, and community leaders. Possible facilities include baseball, soccer, and softball complexes, as well as trails, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, pavilions, picnic tables/grills/benches, disc golf, and multi purpose fields. Park facilities would be developed on a priority basis depending upon public desires. With the request for the Lewis Soccer Complex to be returned to the University of Arkansas, there is an urgent need to relocate this facility. Due to the poor condition of the Walker Park Baseball Complex, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The City has received the 200 acre donation. The City surveyor is scheduled to begin marking the north boundary line of the park property in the first quarter. Neighborhood Park Development This project consists of the development/upgrades of City neighborhood parks. Included in this project is the development of over 20 acres of park land distributed across the City. Bryce Davis Park is located in the NW quadrant, north of Wedington Drive and west of Salem Road and has been expanded to a community park. Sidewalks and a pavilion are currently under construction. Additionally, a parking area is planned to be constructed in 2011. These lands are currently in the City's park system and are in need of development. The Davis Park Expansion has begun. A restroom and dog park were completed in 2010. Construction documents for the parking lot are in progress. Installation of the north pavilion and sidewalk began in 2010 and will be completed in 2011. Design development for St. Joseph Park is anticipated to begin in the first quarter. Other Park & Safety Improvements At Lake Fayetteville, there is an 80 acre area adjacent to the old Butterfield Trail that is becoming overgrown with invasive plant species. In order to preserve this area, management will begin to establish native grasses and forbs. This will provide an educational area and will also enhance wildlife habitat. Citizens will be able to enjoy the area as it is bordered on three sides by the Lake Fayetteville trail. It will also provide great educational opportunities for school children through our partnership with the Environmental Study Center. Initial work will include eradication of invasive plants species and a controlled burn. The prairie restoration area has undergone 1 year of management and will continue in 2011 with a prescribed bum and invasive plant removal. The office renovation will include repairs to the canopy structure in front of the park shop. White River field renovations will be completed in the first quarter of 2011. Gordon Long/Red Oak Improvements Trail and drainage improvements are needed at Red Oak and Gordon Long Parks. Water runoff from adjoining subdivisions discharges into the lower valley of Red Oak Park and has created an erosion problem for the park trail, tree root erosion, and various park amenities. Gordon Long Park has two low water bridges that need to be renovated. This project will improve the safety and usability of the bridges over Scull Creek. The trail at Gordon Long also needs improvements. The drainage through Red Oak Park has been improved. Staff will work with the Illinois River Watershed Partnership to replant portions of the banks. A pavilion has been purchased to install on the north side of New Bridge Road. Construction documents are in progress. The project is anticipated to bid in the third quarter with installation in the fourth quarter. Playground & Picnic Improvements Remaining funds will be used for Sweetbriar stream restoration. The bid for Niokaska Stream restoration was opened in January. The project is anticipated to be complete in the second quarter. Lake Improvements The boat dock/fishing pier at Lake Sequoyah is in need of renovations. The south dock has been closed due to deterioration. Lake Fayetteville Northshore Playground replacement and VMP sewer installation. The boat docks have been closed and bids will be received during the 1st quarter to demolish the docks. Plans and construction of a new boat ramp and courtesy dock will take place in 2011 as well. Additionally there are funds to replace the playground at Lake Fayetteville Northshore as well as installation of sewer line at Veterans Memorial Park to replace septic system. Forestry, Safety & ADA Compliance The forestry project consists of tree care, tree/landscape installation, the tree farm, community and school education, annual operating charges for the grinder and chipper, and maintenance and removal of hazardous trees in parks and public lands. The National Arbor Day tree give away is also included. Funds are required to maintain a sustainable tree farm and turf resource, eventually reducing the need to purchase trees and sod from outside vendors. Funds will be used to begin reforesting areas within parks along streams and in areas not used for active recreation to decrease overall maintenance and increase the urban forest resource. Funds for unforeseeable emergencies occurring in parks due to inclement weather and vandalism or replacement and renovations of park amenities to meet ADA/safety standards are budgeted each year. The Celebration of Trees is an annual tree give-away scheduled in the fall. Park areas for reforestation have been identified are anticipated to be planted in the fourth quarter. Lake Fayetteville Trails Projects include developing trail maps, mile markers, signs and kiosks. Standard park entry signs need to be installed in various parks throughout the city. Signs have been designed and ordered and installation began in the quarter. Trail kiosks have been installed in most locations. Park signage has been planned for Veterans Memorial park. Parks and Recreation Donations Throughout the year Parks and Recreation and the Yvonne Richardson Community Center receive donations to assist with programs, special events and/or amenities for our park system. This project receives donations throughout the year. Some donations received include funding for the YRCC Spring Break and Summer programs, Bench and Tree donations, Rotary Club donations as well as Movies in the Park.
