He said that anyone who would like to hike in the area is welcome. Ozark Off -Road Cyclists has built 8 miles on Kessler Mountain. All the land owners in the area allow hikers if they respect the land. Approximately 387 acres out of 900 acres are very rough. He feels the land is threatened. He would like the main purpose of the area to be an outdoor classroom. He would like a foundation to buy the 387 acres. He is preparing a report to the City of Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas, and the National Heritage. He has already gotten support from the Urban Forestry Advisory Board. He would like a letter of support from PRAB. He wants to see everyone use this area. Paul asked for his contact information. Sharp said it was kesslergreenways(cOgtc.com. He said his cell number is 957- 4069. Paul said he did not understand what the threat to Kessler was. Sharp said Chambers Bank might sell the land to a developer. Paul wanted to know if this was City property. Edmonston said that the City already has its land. Chambers honored the agreement. Paul asked if Chambers was selling the yellow areas on the map. Edmonston said yes, every area except the green areas. Meldrum wanted to know if the U of A purchased the land, would Parks still get the million dollars. Edmonston said that as the land sold, the money would be given. Lawson said the big cost will be the water, sewer, and streets in the Regional Park. He said they will have to be purchased by the City. Watson wanted to know what the cost of the park will be. Jumper said she didn't bring it, but she would get it to him. Paul asked if the yellow portion was already planned development. Jumper said the whole site was approved as PZD. 3 Watson asked if it was commercial or residential. Jumper said it was both. Watson said his big concern is that all the property is intended for the Regional Park. The infrastructure has to be paid for. He asked how much the infrastructure would cost. Edmonston asked that he keep in mind that the land was donated to us. Meldrum said the Regional Park numbers need to be reviewed. Edmonston asked if he wanted that done during orientation. Meldrum said yes. Paul asked if we title it reserve, would it be possible to change it to develop one day. Sharp said he thought it should be put in a conservation easement. Paul said the land borders the Regional Park. If the park is outgrown, we would have to go elsewhere, or expand into the conservation easement. Sharp said the conservation easement could be written however someone wanted it written. Paul said he wanted to be cautious about doing anything permanent. Meldrum wanted to know whether the decision would be the U of A's if they purchased it. Sharp said that he sees it as a joint decision. Watson wanted to know if it had to stay as a reserve, or if it could change. Sharp said the City and U of A would have to agree, but it could say whatever was decided. Paul asked if there was another way to protect the land. Edmonston said that a grant must pertain to outdoor recreation. A land conversion is one way. Sharp said that Mount Sequoyah is a conservation easement. 4 Maxwell said the City owns that area. Meldrum said maybe at orientation PRAB can look at the facts and figures, and get back with Frank. Aubrey Shepherd, a guest, said he used to live on that site. He said the site Sharp is talking about is like the Buffalo River. He said it would be hard to build on the land. He said we would be protecting it. He suggested for PRAB to go see it from the south end of the property. He asked that serious attention be given to Sharp's request. 8. Selection of PRAB Orientation Date: Please bring your calendar so we can select a date for the annual PRAB Orientation on January 7`h. We need to allow a time frame of approximately 2 hours prior to our February 4`h PRAB monthly meeting or select another day in January. PRAB is required to have a member serve on the following committees: Edmonton said that the orientation will be a full two hours. The date chosen was Thursday, January 24, at 5:30 pm. The place will be determined, and an email will be sent out to everyone. Active Transportation Advisory Committee: Meets quarterly on the second Wednesday at 5:30 pm, City Hall Room 326 Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks Board of Directors: Meets third Tuesday of every month at 6 pm at Lake Fayetteville Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. 9. Other Business: Edmonston said that Transportation has been busy building that last mile of section on the very last 4.58 acres donated south of that property (Lake Fayetteville). She said the first phases were built with a 10 foot width. However, the last section from the Veterans Memorial Park to the future parking lot at Botanical Gardens will be 12 feet wide. Meldrum asked if it would be concrete or asphalt. Edmonston said it would be asphalt. Maxwell asked if that was so it could be driven on. Edmonston said it was because it was so busy. There are big safety issues. The section will be used a lot. Meldrum asked what the target completion date would be. Edmonston said it would probably be early spring. 5 Meldrum said a lot of people ask about it. He also asked if there were any plans for David Lashley restroom facilities. Edmonston said neighborhood parks have no facilities, such as restrooms, water fountains, or any other large type facilities. Meldrum read the upcoming events. 10. Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 6:25 pm. Minutes taken by Melanie Thomas 6 January 22, 2013 City of Fayetteville Parks Department 125 W. Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Re: New Horizons formerly Highlands at Rupple Dear Parks Department, Real Practices in requesting to donate MONEY IN LIEU of parkland. This has been the general agreement with Parks Department on previous submittals. Due to the close proximity of the existing school and sports complex it makes more sense to donate land rather than creating another pocket park. New Horizons Plat had been submitted in both 2006 & 2010. That 2006 submittal was originally approved for a 40 acre development. Due to the rough economy the original plat was never built. Real Practices are now re -submitting a new plat with only 18 acres and are looking to divide the construction into 2 phases. The first phase will be 15 lots as shown, with the final 56 being part of phase 2 construction. Although the construction will be phased, the concept has many of the same features that Real Practices agreed upon in the first approval such as stub -outs for future street connections, street widths, street improvements, etc. Real Practices understands that the fees will be due prior to signing of Final Plat for each phase. Let me know if you any questions or concerns.

Many acres are preserved areas which protect our natural resources, urban forest, and wildlife habitat for our citizens. In addition, many acres make up our trail corridors. The City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Department is very proud of the quality services provided to our citizens though our parks, trails, programs, and special events. These all contribute to our quality of life that makes Fayetteville a great place to live, work, and play. A summary of accomplishments for 2012 are provided below. PARK PLANNING AND URBAN FORESTRY Parks staff installed an interpretive sign which illustrates and describes the natural trails, flora and wildlife at Mount Sequoyah Woods. The sign was made possible by a partnership between the City of Fayetteville, the Fayetteville Natural Heritage Association, the University Of Arkansas Division Of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service and the Beaver Watershed Alliance. Funding for the sign was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission through a USEPA Section 319(h) grant. Mt. Sequoyah Woods Sign Ribbon Cutting Parks and Recreation partnered with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture - Cooperative Extension Service to provide two new educational signs along Niokaska and Scull Creeks. The signs illustrate the functions and importance of riparian zones. One sign is located within Gulley Park on the northwest side of Niokaska Creek near the playgrounds. The other sign is located along Scull Creek Trail near the 2 low water bridge on Jocelyn Lane west of Gregg Avenue. Funding for the signs was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission through a USEPA Section 319(h) grant. Two bronze plaques have been installed in Gulley Park on each end of the creek. The 2008-2009 class of 4th graders at Root Elementary participated in a competition to name the previously unnamed tributary to Mud Creek that flows through Gulley Park. The students read a persuasive argument for why their name should be chosen and the 4th graders voted for "Niokaska Creek" which is an Osage Tribal term that means "Little Ones (or children) of the Middle Waters." The plaques explain the meaning of the creek's name and credit the 4th graders of Root Elementary with naming the creek. Gordon Long Park and Gulley Park received new swings. New belt swings, toddler swings, and ADA accessible swings were installed at both parks. New Swings at Gordon Long Park A grant application was submitted to the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism for the development of Mt. Sequoyah Gardens including a wood and stone overlook structure, ADA accessible parking and access, and replacement of the asphalt entry drive. Grant awards will be announced in the spring. An update was made to chapter 167: Tree Preservation and Protection. It increased the value of a tree to better represent the current day costs of establishing a tree. 3 Renovations to the Wilson Park pool were completed, including the removal of the pool's interior plaster and the deck's surface material, repairs of cracks within the pool's structure and the surrounding deck, and replacement of the pool and deck's surfaces. Wilson Park Pool New stone and steel entry signs were constructed at White River Park, Bayyari Park and Lake Fayetteville Park. These signs have been standardized to be implemented throughout the City to identify parks. Lake Fayetteville Park Entry Sign An Urban and Community Forestry Grant was received through the Arkansas Forestry Commission to make improvements to the City owned lot north of the Development Services building on Mountain Street. The Park Land Dedication Formula was reviewed and updated as required by the ordinance. 4 The Urban Forestry Advisory Board established a landscape award competition, which was designed to recognize sustainable commercial and residential landscapes in Fayetteville. In early June, a team of horticultural and landscape design professionals selected two winners based on (1) Design and Aesthetics, (2) Preservation of Natural Environment, (3) Environmental Best Management Practices, and (4) Attraction to Wildlife. Residential Landscape Award Winner Cindi Cope St. Joseph Park was completed. The project included concrete steps and sidewalks along with a block retaining wall, terraced brick and concrete seat walls, a park sign, and landscaping. St. Joseph Park Grand Opening 5 The Urban Forestry Advisory Board, in conjunction with Urban Forestry and the Mayor's office, hosted the annual tree give-away on October 13 at the Fayetteville Town Center by the downtown square. Over 600 trees and shrubs were given to citizens to plant on their property to help reestablish our City's urban forest. The Great Tree Giveaway The Arbor Day Foundation awarded the City its 17th consecutive Tree City USA Award for Fayetteville's continuing efforts to preserve trees and promote the benefits of trees. Four areas of the City received street trees in 2012 through the Tree Escrow Fund. Approximately 162 trees were planted in street rights-of- way as part of the Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance. These trees over time will reduce storm water peak flows and air pollution, increase oxygen supply and property values, provide wildlife habitat, and beautify neighborhoods. In 2012, the Urban Forestry Services crew pruned 968 trees, removed 400, mulched 35, watered 2,096, and planted 53. There were also 136 stumps removed. Funded in part by the Arkansas Forestry Commission through a grant from the USDA Forest Service, the City of Fayetteville participated in an urban tree canopy (UTC) assessment. The assessment quantified that within the city limits there was 36% tree canopy coverage. Tree assessments help cities better understand the benefits that trees provide to air quality, storm water management, ecosystem balance, and quality of life benefits. Data gathered through the assessment may be used to inform UTC goals, prioritize locations for tree planting efforts, establish 6 urban forestry master plans, understand patterns of environmental justice, and inform sustainability plans. Since 2002, the study revealed only a loss of 1.5% tree canopy coverage. Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Workshop VOLUNTEERS The programs and events at Fayetteville Parks and Recreation would not happen without the enthusiastic help from volunteers with various interests and talents. These volunteers donated 12,211 hours in 2012. For sports programs, the coaches donated 7,712 hours. Many people worked through the Adopt -A -Park and Adopt -A -Trail program to volunteer a total of 3,560 hours. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, as well as the Urban Forestry Advisory Board, and the Yvonne Richardson Community Center SEFCC Board contributed 302 hours. The Yvonne Richardson Community Center (YRCC) had volunteers that donated 309 hours. Approximately 40 volunteers planted native grasses, shrubs and trees along the stream restoration project in Sweetbriar Park. The University of Arkansas Division Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service provided the plants and pizza for the event. 7 HORTICULTURE Square Garden Display A ribbon cutting ceremony for the Walker Park Historical Mural sign was held on March 13. All plots at the Jefferson and Walker Community Gardens were leased for the 2012 planting season. The garden paths were mulched, a water line was installed, and the fence and gates were completed at the Walker Park Community Gardens. Areas at Wilson Park were renovated by transplanting native trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses. A native stone bench and walkway were added, and the areas were seeded with grass. The Wilson Park nursery was renovated. A hard goods storage area was created. Old beds and soil were removed to prepare for a covered outdoor working area and an additional shade facility. 8 There were 35 volunteers that accepted the invitation to attend the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at Walker Park on September 13. The Volunteer Program provides opportunities for citizens to give back to their community, as well as be a valuable asset in supporting the mission of Parks and Recreation. The luncheon is an acknowledgement from the Parks and Recreation Department to show our gratitude for their help. Centerpiece at Volunteer Luncheon Watering during the summer was high priority to keep the gardens alive. Kid Crops spring, summer and fall programs had 175 children learning about planting, growing, and weed maintenance in the gardens. Other activities included a field trip to the Farmers Market, cooking produce harvested from the garden, making stepping stones out of cement, and building a worm casting box. A cold frame was built at the Mt. Sequoyah greenhouse for a place to hold the annuals for warmer weather. There were approximately 5,500 spring bulbs planted that included tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and other miscellaneous small bulbs. PARK MAINTENANCE The Facilities Maintenance crew installed two donated memorial benches. The first, donated by the Kennametal Foundation, is located in Wilson Park behind the baseball field. The second was installed at the Mt. Sequoyah Gardens. 9 Construction of a new boat ramp and courtesy dock was completed at Lake Sequoyah. Lake Sequoyah Boat Ramp 85 Courtesy Dock Due to the April 2011 flood damage, three docks at Lake Fayetteville had to be repaired. Parks staff used an air -driven hammer and compressed air to reset the docks to their proper height. Work will continue at the Lake Fayetteville Marina and Veterans Park. New retaining walls at Veterans Park volleyball courts 1 and 2 were constructed. Timbers constructed of 6 x 6 treated pine were used to form the main structure of the walls. The area was then backfilled with soil and covered with sod. The chain link fence surrounding the court was raised to accommodate the new ground elevation. Constructing Retaining Walls The pool and fountain at the Wilson Park Castle received some much needed repairs. Algae was removed and new wiring for the pump system was installed. Other additions included new lights, a new fountain head and a new timer. Wilson Park Castle Renovation 10 The Grounds Maintenance crew converted the 10 -row bleacher sets at White River and Walker Park Baseball complex to 5 -row bleachers. This allowed all aluminum bleachers to be placed at each field at Walker Park except fields 1 and 2. The aluminum bleachers look better and are safer than the previous steel bleachers. The aluminum bleachers also require less maintenance compared to the steel bleachers which needed frequent repainting. Bleacher Renovation The Forestry Services crew cleared branches and removed stumps at the Lake Fayetteville Prairie Restoration site. On March 12, a prescribed burn was conducted by Chloeta Fire, with Parks crews assisting. After the burn, any debris that did not burn was moved into large piles to be burned at a later date. The access bridge into Greathouse Park received some much needed repairs. The wooden walkway's retaining rail had dislodged, which caused loose boards on the bridge. The rusting screws were also replaced. All of the twenty-eight playgrounds in the City Parks received safety inspections in September. These inspections included checking for proper fall surfacing depths, loose or missing bolts, broken equipment, and entrapments. Torn shade cloth was repaired or removed, and loose playground equipment was repaired at Bayyari, Rodney Ryan, and Harmony Pointe Parks. 11 Graffiti was cleaned up in the Appleby and Fulbright tunnels located on Scull Creek Trail. Graffiti continues to be a problem, especially in the trail tunnels. Park Staff removes the graffiti with 24 hours if possible, and works with the Police Department to try to identify the culprits. Before After Several repairs were performed at the Wilson Park Swimming Pool. Marble dust and acrylic hardener were used to repair areas on the deck and pool bottom. New underwater lights were installed on the west end of the pool, and a new ball valve was installed to the surge pit. The deteriorating wood and shingles at the Wilson Park softball field dugouts were replaced. New electronic timers for the trail lights were installed at Wilson Park to replace the old mechanical timers. The 2012 Lights of the Ozarks display was installed All the tree canopies and the ground cover were enveloped with 400,000 lights, taking approximately 2,493.75 for Parks Maintenance Staff to install.

In addition, new pitching machines were purchased and used for the Under 10 girl's league, and the Under 8 girls' league became a coach pitch league. Under 18 girls' teams also played games against teams from Rogers. There were six great concerts held for the Gulley Park concert series. The variety of artists included The Smart Brothers, LaFuSo, Tim Brantley, Joe Giles, Matt the Electrician, and ChaseMissy. The total attendance for 13 all six shows was approximately 6,000 fans. A theatrical performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night by Classical Edge Theatre was performed before the first concert in the series. Rain forced the Matt the Electrician show to be relocated to the Arkansas Air Museum. Milla 413 g And the Music Goes On...
