Eagle Scout Project at Lake Sequoyah: Kyle Lawrence Lawrence is with Troop 142, and is developing a leadership project for his Eagle Scout badge In his family, it's a tradition to build trails to earn this badge. Lawrence plans to connect his part of the trail with the existing trail. He has walked and marked it out with Wade Colwell. He plans to build the trail on parkland, go around an edge of a field, through a boggy place, to a stream. He would also like to build a bridge. He will supply the volunteers and materials. He just needs approval from PRAB. Mauritson said that the trail sounds like a good idea. Lawrence said that maybe someone from Parks could walk the boggy area with him to see if there is a better way. Humphry said that he and Jumper will walk it with him. Meinecke asked if the trail will dead end. Lawrence said that he was only building a segment. 1 Waite asked how many brothers he had. Lawrence said only one, and he has build two trails. Waite said that it was a great family tradition. Biendara asked if he planned to put any markings on the trail so they won't get lost. Lawrence said yes. He said bright florescent paint stands out. Watson asked if PRAB needed to address this request now. Humphry said yes, it needs to be approved, and all the details will be firmed up. Lawrence said that this isn't the final plan. Meinecke asked if this trail was getting close to going all around Lake Sequoyah. Edmonston said that Parks is working on the north side. Lawrence said the upcoming scouts in the troop will take care of it. It's becoming a troop tradition, and is basically a continuing project. PRAB Motion: Meinecke motioned to approve the Lake Sequoyah trail project, and Watson seconded it. Motion passed by voice vote 6-0-0. 4. Parks & Recreation 2010 Budget Update: Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Director Edmonston said that sales tax is down, so there have been budget cuts and adjustments. Some of the adjustments she related are: the trail lights will go off at 11 p.m. and back on at 5 a.m.; the pool will open one week later; and the pool, soccer, and player fees have increased. A new item to bring in some revenue is VIP parking during the concerts. $150 gets a parking spot close to the park and the concert. Lindsey asked if there were scholarships for soccer players that can't pay the fee. Gipson said yes. Pagnozzi scholarships are available. 5. Summer Programs Update: Chase Gipson, Recreation Superintendent Gipson gave information about all the programs available during the summer. An informational sheet listing all the programs was handed out. The pool opening day on June 11 will have a kick-off event to start the pool summer season.

There will be six to seven swim stations, and the final ten minutes will be the big swim lesson. Meinecke asked about the Lake Fayetteville Outdoor Festival. Gipson said it rained enough to keep people away. 2 Native Grass Restoration Program Update: Byron Humphry, Maintenance Superintendent Humphry said there was a controlled burn at Lake Fayetteville. The fescue needs to be eradicated. The flowers will be planted later. There will be another burn next spring. Buffalo grass was planted at the new section of Mud Creek. A volunteer is planting wildflowers on Frisco Trail. The hillside has been reshaped at Mount Sequoyah Gardens with plugs of native grass. The Scull Creek Tunnel will get landscaping sometime in the future. Doc Mashburn is getting a detention pond and native grasses. 6. HMR Tax Special Election: Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director Edmonston said that if the Parks staff is questioned about this election, they can only give information about the election, not their opinion. The HMR tax has been good to Parks. Mauritson said that early voting started today. Edmonston said the vote is only to change the wording of the ordinance. She said that PRAB may be getting some phone calls. Watson said that he already got one. Mauritson said that if a person didn't want to vote on the other items, he/she could get a special form just for the HMR vote. 7. Other Business: ** A special PRAB meeting may be scheduled prior to the June PRAB Meeting. Mauritson asked about the special PRAB meeting. Edmonston said that a development was coming in. No date for an additional meeting has been set yet. Mauritson said two years ago he was trying to see if he could get Van Asche Drive changed to Veterans Memorial Drive.

May 28, 2010 City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division 113 West Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: RIVERWALK SUBDIVISION PARK LAND DEDICATION Members of the Board & Staff: On behalf of our client, McDonald Real Property Invest III, LLC, please accept this correspondence as an official request to dedicate land to the City of Fayetteville Parks Department as it relates to a proposed residential development. The proposed development is located approximately 1.3 miles south of Hwy 16 along the west side of Dead Horse Mountain Rd. The proposed subdivision is zoned RSF-4 and will encompass approximately 20.92 acres. We anticipate 67 single family units to be platted with this development. At the rate of 0.024 acres per lot, the total park land dedication required for this development is 1.61 acres. The property is identified to dedicate a master trail corridor. We have positioned the corridor along a proposed street right-of-way. The proposed incremental land dedication outside the standard right-of-way is proposed to be 10 feet. The incremental area to be dedicated beyond the right-of-way is 9603 sf (0.22 acres). The existing access road is proposed to function as the future trail. The cost of the road was $3.71 / s£ This area will be maintained by the future property owners and is not expected to have a maintenance impact on City resources. The Owner is requesting credit for the cost of the trail in excess of the cost of a standard sidewalk section. The length of trail to be dedicated with this submittal is 960 LF. The incremental cost for this trail, in excess of the standard 5 ft sidewalk, is $24,931. The remainder of the park land dedication for this phase is proposed along the old railroad embankment leading to the White River. We are proposing a width of 120 feet along this condor, which will encompass the tree canopy along the adjacent intermittent stream. This section is fully wooded and would require very little maintenance. The total area to be dedicated in this section is 105,937 sf (2.43 acres). In summary, the Owner is requesting to dedicate a total of 2.65 acres for park land dedication. We are requesting a credit of 1.04 acres and $24,931 to be applied to future phases of this development. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this project, please call me at 582-4234.

A property line adjustment will be submitted to Planning once it is signed by the owners. City staff expects to finalize the deed in the second quarter 2010. Park Beautifications Additional flowerbeds were requested at several of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan public meetings.

Gary Hampton Softball Complex scoreboard replacement. Improvements to White River Baseball Field. Wilson Park bridge installation, pool parking lot improvements and trail connection were completed in July 2009. The office renovations began during the fourth quarter of 2007 and will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010. White River renovations began in the third quarter of 2008 and will be completed in the third quarter of 2010. The Native grass program will involve invasive species eradication at Lake Fayetteville and a control burn in 2010. It will also include native grass plantings at Mt. Sequoyah and along the trail at Lake Fayetteville. Gordon Long/Red Oak Improvements Trail and drainage improvements are needed at Red Oak and Gordon Long Parks.
