Department: Parks and Recreation
Subject: Discussion and consideration of a fee structure at Reagan Park for the new
baseball/softball practice fields
User fees and policies are in place for City Park and Pleasant Run athletic fields. With the
development of Reagan Park athletic fields there is a need to implement fees and policies
for that site as well.
Reagan Park athletic fields will be reserved by Colleyville Baseball Association (CBA) and
Colleyville Girl's Softball Association (CGSA) during their fall and spring seasons for
practices. When the fields are not being used by the Youth Sports Associations (YSA)
they will be available to anyone to use on a first-come first-serve basis during daylight
hours. If someone wants to guarantee that they will have the field they may reserve it for
a fee.
Since Reagan Park athletic fields are in a residential area, lights will not be turned on
unless there is a reservation or youth sports associations have scheduled practices during
their seasons.
Staff is recommending the fee for residents be $25 without lights and $40 with lights and
non-resident fees be $50 without lights and $90 with lights. This is for a two hour session
with the same guidelines in place as reserving practice fields.
Colleyville Baseball Association and Colleyville Girl's Softball Association have signed off
on this fee scale.

Tax Rate to '\,

.,
Council to Increase Road Repairs,
Pay for Athletic Field Lighting at CHHS
By Scott Price
STAFF WRITER
The Colleyville City Council on Tuesday held a pub-
lic hearing on a $27 million budget and proposed
maintaining the city's current property taX rate.
The council will vote on the budget and tax rate at its
regular meeting on Sept. 21.
Colleyville's property tax rate is currently 0.3474
cents per $100 of valuation and remains the lowest in
the area.
There are no plans to change the water and sewer
rates, but city officials said they expect to have a rate
-increase next year.
Some of the expenses included in the budget are
$445,000 for road resurfacing, $i45,000 for. a road
patching truck, a 2 percent pay. increase for city
employees in October and a2 percent pay increase in
January.
The city officials all seemed to agree that the
increased funding was needed for road maintenance.
"It will go a long way--to maintaining the streets, and
I commend the other council members in getting that
dorie," said Mayor Pro Tern Jon Ayers.
For nearly an hour and a half, the council members
and the public discussed paying $101,499 for lighting
and a 3-year agreement at Colleyville Heritage High
School. The plan is to have two practice football fields
on land not used by the school district.
Council member Rich Hendler said the solution to
lack of football and soccer practice space was the best
one that had been proposed.
"This opportunity to partner with GCISD, although
not perfect, in the best option at this time," he said.
Council member Mark Skinner opposed paying for
the lighting because the land is not in Colleyville.
"Why wouldn't we install these poles on city prop-
erty?" he asked.
Colleyville resident Jim Moore said, "1 want to say
to you Mark, right on. 1fyouhave $100,000 to spend,
just talk to me and 1 will tell you about several"projects

A long discussirinwas also heldreg!\l"ding
the cont;ribution the city of CoUeyvilleinakes
to the Colleyville Area Chamber ;'. of
Commerce. .
City council member Torn Hart sent out an
e-mail to other coUncil members asking. that
the contribution .the city pays to the tACC,
as a Chamber member, be reduced.
John Orrell, chairman of the Colleyville
Area .Chamber of Commerce, said the
iChamber provides a service to the. city of
~. ?~g~:mber has strong partnership goals .
ith the city because we are both working
d for ec?nomic development,'~ he said;
Orrell said Southlake pays the Southlake
hamber of. Commerce $15,000 and
Grapevine pays the Grapevine Chamber of
Commerce $35,000.
"We are only requesting $7,053," Orrell
said. .
Brad Rice, a Colleyville resident and attor-
neyin Fort Worth, said some chamber mem-
bers; like him, live in Colleyville but have a
business outside the city. He said revenue is
still being brought into the city because of it.
Rice said most area cities support their
Chamber of commerce.
"The value they see is in a partnership with
an organization that works to bring in busi-
ness," he said. .
Former Colleyville Mayor Richard
Newton spoke to city officials and ques-
tioned the sustainability. of the proposed
budget. "
"In this budget I don't see it," he said.
"How are we going to have. a sustainable
'budget? " . .
"All I'm asking is you look on a 4-, 5-, 6-
year basis and see where that' money is going
to come from." .
Mayor Joe Hocutt said he was proud the
city was able to maintain the property tax
rate, but he took exception to Newton.
"We have moved to a sustainable budget,"
Hocutt said. "Our property values continue,
to increase [and] we are in sound fmancial
shape. "

will build a "~enior center.
"I 'have always advocated
I'. thatColleyvillehave,a sernor
c~nter," he said. "There's no
reason they sho~ldn't.lt's
something that fulfills a
need."
Havran said the
CoUeyyille S~nior Center
should welcome residents of
surrounding ,communities
just as the senior, centers in
area Cities welcome
Colleyville residents to their
senior centers. ,
The original idea for the
Colleyville Senior Center
was to renovate the Old City
Hall.
"This is a new facility,"
said Dianne McWethy,
Colleyville 'deputy city man-
ager; "There was some dis-
cussion about, using the old
building, but it was decided
it was best to build a new
facility." " '
The Old City Hall is still
standIng but will have to be
demolished to make way for
the' Colleyville Senior
Center.
The cost is b:udgeted at
$1.2 million with an estimat-
ed completion time of i 8
months" McWethy said.
Currently, seniors in
Colleyville use' the L.D.
Lockett House located at 315
L.D, Lockett Road.
"I think the program would
expand and enhance with the
, new senior center,"
McWethy said.
Lisa Adan,Colleyville

I recreation specialist, said
that the city is very involved
with senior residents, organ-
izing day and ov~rnight trips,
games, lunches at area
restaurants, a potluck dinner
each Tuesday, classes and
otherprQgrams.
About 150 senior citizens
participate, she said.
The senior Citizens in
Colleyville are looking for-
ward to the Colleyville

previously agreed to purchase
the lights from, at a higher
pnce.
Musco reduced its original

be reimbursed partial legal
. fees for successfully defend-
ing themselves against City
ethics allegations. .
, . The ColleyvilleCity.
Coun,cil also
agreed to re-
examine the
city's ethics'
ordinance '
with the help
of the Col-
leyvi1le
Ethics "
Commis-
sion. A date
for 'a joint
work session between the two.
groups has not been set.
Council members said the
ordinance may be flawed -
or may need to be repealed.
In a nteeting that began
Tuesday and ended early
Wednesday, the council voted
3-1 to reimburse the commis-
sioners $7,000 each. .
. , Attorney fees for]effWall
totaled $8,050, and those for.
Earl Swift were $16,461.82.

he said Wednesday. .
In April, the city's Ethics.

'. plaintsJiled against Wall and
. Swift by developer David

New name for park
New, baseball and softball
practice fields under con~
struction off L.D. Lockett
Road will be named Reagan
Park in honor of the dairy
farmers who formerly owned

. The park had been
referred to as the Sneed
property, as the city bought
the land from the Sneed fami-
ly. The Sneeds, related to the
Reagans, supported the Rea-
gan Park name. "
