Recommendation Approval of the project.

This program has proven to be very successful allowing athletes to experience safer competition fields with denser healthier turf. This enhances safety to the athlete by having better footing during the games. Prior to the program the athletes were playing in key areas that were nothing but dirt. The City currently mows with a 1998 Taro Reel-Master mower that was purchased to provide a quality cut for the hybrid turf that was initially installed on the site. This mower is in the shop now and has been numerous times. With the over-seeding program in place the grass species is not suitable for maintenance with that type of equipment. This mower is not made to cut the rye species and tends to lay the grass over instead of providing a good cut. Staff has been using 60" deck rotor mowers on the site to overcome the lack of capability of the Reel-master. All three mowers are out of service. One of the John Deere mowers has been out of service since April 11, 2003 and it needs an engine overhaul. This mower will not be repaired because of cost. The other John Deere needs a fuel tank replaced and has been out of service since August 8, 2003. We are waiting to get it back from the city shop. The Taro Reel master has been out of service since August 22, 2003. We had to outsource the repair since the city shop was unable to fix it. We have spent about $1,000 over the last six weeks renting mowers. We will continue to rent mowers until the others are repaired. When the rotor mowers are working, they are still inadequate in the sense that the decks do not float and scalps areas. Mowing productivity is very low due to the size of the decks. A Taro Groundsmaster 4500-0 rotary mower would enhance the mowing and the turf. This unit will enable the species of turf on the fields to be maintained at a high quality level while almost doubling the productivity with the 109" cutting width. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of using Voluntary Park Fund monies for the purchasing of a Taro Groundsmaster 4500-0 rotary mower in an amount up to $40,000.

Staff requested during the budget process this year to restripe the parking lots. City Park, Pleasant Run Soccer Complex and the Colleyville Nature Center are all in need of re-defining parking areas, handicap spaces and fire lines. These parks are all heavily used and the majority hosts the youth sports associations thus creating very high traffic for guests using the facilities. Marking of areas would produce a safe orderly area for our guests and allows for emergency vehicle access should it be required. City Park has 500 regular spaces 12 handicap spaces, Pleasant Run consists of 255 regular spaces and 8 handicap spaces and the Colleyville Nature Center has 17 parking spaces. City Park also is the venue for several special events hosed by the city. Recommendation Staff recommends approval using Voluntary Park Fund monies to restripe the parking lots in an amount up to $3,300.

While a lot of work has been done in previous years, the City Council has a strong interest in further enhancing these programs. Particular areas of int~rest include capital planning of facilities and expanding participation with the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD). The City Council discussed hosting a meeting with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the City's cosponsored youth sports association on October 8, 2003 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Colleyville Center. It would be helpful if you could provide supporting information to staff for Council review. Topics identified by the City Council for discussion are listed below.

The parks board wish list includes several projects to build or improve city parks. PRIORITIES Hendler, a former parks board member. "Wr.; h<.ivr.;n't gotkn tn [discussing] streets, and 'itreets may be the biggest need of aiL" Board members said devel- oping McPherson Park for $1.77 million with a hike. and. bike trail, pond, picnic area and playground was the sec- ond-mast-important project. The city has $125,000 set aside for that. The board's third pri. ority on the list, developed last week, was a tie between pur- chasing 146 acres of parkland for $6.57 million and develop- ing Sneed Park for $362,000, About $825,000 has been secured for the parkland, Residents have previously ranked building the recreation center first and purchasing parkland second. A recent study found that rhe city has 189 acres of private neighborhood parks and 184 acres of city-owned parks. It's unusual for cities to have more private parkland than public, officials said. "We are reaching the point where land is becoming such a precious commodity in the area, and the price of land in the foreseeable future probably won't be going down," said Gil Turner, a parks board member. A lack of practice fields has prompted some parents, such as Turner, to pay for private fields. Turner pooled his mon- ey with four other pare:&1ts to build a $45,000 field at the Co], leyville Church of Christ about three years ago, Most of the sites purchased for additional parkl'lIld would not be large enough for base- ball or softball fields but could be developed into neighbor- hood parks. Tumer said. But two baseball and soft- ball fields could be built at Sneed Park - the board's No. 3 priority, "[ agree with the parks board's decisions in terms of C'(}f,(illu,cd (IY)f(/ 1/1 Board priorities 1.

I think it's time: for u:::; to move forward wid'} the pro- jects," said ~byor Joe Hocutt, who favors letting residen ts vote on a recreation center in ;1 bond election. The center's $13.5 milliull cost was estimated based on Ii facility built in Keller. The Col, leyville facility could include indoor and outdoor pools, a gymn'asium, a cardio and weight room, an elevated run- ning track and activity rooms. Some city leaders have dis- cussed combining the recre- ation center with a senior cen- ter. They have also noted that the city may need to take infO account Lifetime Fitness' plans to build a 1l0,OOO-squarc-foot fitness center at Town Center CoUeyville. Parks and Recreation Man- ager Monica Sue: Walsh said residents won't be left out of the discussions. "The bottom line is you need to get citizen input for all of these items," she said. "The facilities, the amenities, the projects are all for the citizens of Colleyville." - - -- Ellen-SCh;:;de~(8i7)6a5~i~i5 ~schroeder@star-t~teqram.com Sunday, August 10, 2003 ~ottIJta~ <<anant ~inn~tfu% - I Keeping city's history intact G011f:\}'JIeLE ----, I Donation of Webb family treasures seen as step forward in preserving past Warren Webh sees more than a simple struc- lure when he walks through the early 1900s farmhouse on the cd~c of Bransford Park in north Colleyville "1ltat's where the poc-bellied stove went, and back here wa~ the kitchen: he said a.~ he m...mcd from room to room.
