3d Update on shade structures for City Park
Parks Manager James Hubbard briefly reviewed information regarding the Board’s
approval of funds for the replacement of 19 panels at City Park and the Board’s
previous request for staff to look for more durable replacements of five dugout tops.
On October 1, 2014, the Board approved up to $25,000 for the replacement of 14
fabric shade panels contingent upon staff researching other options for the dugout
tops.
Manager Hubbard explained that staff received a quote of $2,200 for each installed
metal cover, as compared to approximately $1,500 for each fabric panel.
Additionally, as the metal covers are not offered in all of the current colors used
throughout City Park, they would need to be painted at a cost of approximately
$750 each with repainting necessary every three years to maintain a uniform
appearance. A concern with metal dugout covers is also their potential to dent as
evidenced in visual inspection of similar covers at area parks.
Discussion ensued regarding other types of material available for dugout covers
and the durability of the metal versus the fabric covers. Hubbard explained that the
metal referenced in the presentation was the only other material located that is
appropriate for the purpose. He also explained that the metal cover’s life span is
longer than the fabric cover’s life span of 5-8 years (weather depending), but the
metal covers will require repainting approximately every three years at $750 each.
Leti Carson questioned the reason the metal cover presented appears to dent so
easily citing her current experience with a metal roof on a personal residence.
Hubbard explained that, although there is higher quality metal material available,
the weight of that material, as well as the cost, is much higher. The current
structure will not support the increased weight of a higher-grade, roofing type
metal. Hubbard offered to continue to look for other metal covers at the direction
of the Board.
City of Colleyville Page 2
Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board MINUTES January 5, 2015
Discussion ensued, among the Board, regarding the longer life-span of the metal
cover versus the increased maintenance of repainting and unpleasant appearance
of dents. The Board indicated a desire to continue with fabric panels while
researching more durable and permanent materials in the future. Hubbard
explained that all of the panels could be replaced with fabric within the original
funds approved of $25,000 from the Voluntary Parks Fund.
Charles Bethards made a motion to replace all 19 panels with fabric. Leti Carson
seconded the motion. The motion carried with a unanimous vote.
3e. Approval of the use of Voluntary Park Funds for a playground at Pleasant Run
Park
Manager Hubbard reviewed the 2014 City Council, Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board, and Park Land Dedication Committee approval of $75,000 to be used for
improvements to Pleasant Run Park, including the installation of a playground, per
the 2011 Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan. Hubbard explained that
although it is feasible to install a park within the $75,000 budget, after site
preparation and drainage work, the amount to spend on actual playground pieces
and installation would provide a less than desirable result leading to future
expenses on additional equipment.
Hubbard requested approval to use $55,000 of Voluntary Park Fund monies to allow
for the installation of a playground for 2-5 year olds and another for 5-12 year olds
as indicated in renderings provided in the presentation. Without additional funding,
the 2-5 year old playground is all that the previously approved budget of $75,000
could allow. Hubbard expressed concern over safety issues involved with the
inevitable use of the 2-5 year old playground by older children should just one
playground be installed.
Hubbard further explained reasons for the proposed site of playground: appropriate
distance away from parking lot and restrooms, yet centrally located within center
of fields for parent monitoring of both playground and field; an existing shade
structure and picnic table provides natural separation of two play areas; and this
site is less expensive to prepare because of existing concrete.
Discussion ensued regarding installation of swings only on the playground designed
for 2-5 year olds and the number of children that could be served on this play
equipment. Hubbard stated that the amount of equipment and sizing is very similar
to that of Sparger Park, although less spread out, and that the swings on the 2-5
year old playground will be bucket type to discourage use by older children.
Hubbard stated that another reason for the request of additional funds to install a
complete park at one time is because site preparation and installation of any
City of Colleyville Page 3
Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board MINUTES January 5, 2015
quantity of playground pieces involves the movement of large machinery resulting
in damage to turf. Installation of a park to accommodate through age 12 will, in
the long run, be a more efficient use of funds.
Nancy Coplen questioned the reason for total cost of proposed design to be around
$125,000. She stated that 2-5 year old age specific playground equipment was
installed in her neighborhood (Woodland Hills) for much less. Hubbard stated that
$40,000 of the costs is for site preparation and drainage. He further explained
specifics related to dirt excavation, ground covering, and issues with existing
concrete reinforcement, and drainage.
Assistant City Manager Terry Leake stated that any funds not used for this project
would be returned to the Voluntary Parks Fund. After a year or so, from installation,
after it’s determined that contingency funds are not needed, the remaining funds
would be presented to the Board to de-authorize use and return to the Voluntary
Park Fund for another use. The Fund receives approximately $145,000-150,000
annually.
Charles Bethards made a motion to approve the Use of Voluntary Park Funds in an
amount not to exceed $55,000 for the installation of the proposed playground
design at Pleasant Run Park. Leti Carson seconded the motion. The motion carried
unanimously.
4. REPORTS
Update on the previous quarter's recreation, athletics and Senior Center activities
Lisa Escobedo, Recreation and City Events Manager updated the Board on
Recreation and Special Events activities for the months of October, November, and
December 2014. She informed board members that Haunted Trails was held at the
Colleyville Nature Center, in October, and was well attended with over 1,500 in
attendance. She noted that the new Recreation classes, Yoga in the Park and Kidz
Love Soccer, will be offered again in the spring because of positive feedback from
participants. Additionally, Escobedo stated that winter and spring classes begin in
January and continue through April. New classes include a Personal & Professional
Workshop for Youth and a new cardio fitness class called Re-fit.
Manager Escobedo stated that the athletic associations (Baseball, Softball, Soccer,
and Lacrosse) finished their respective fall seasons in November and early
December and are about to begin their spring seasons. The HUSA (Hurst United
Soccer Association) Turkey Shoot Soccer Tournament was held at the Pleasant Run
Soccer Complex, November 21-23, 2014, and the City received $1,925 in field
usage fees. The girls fall volleyball league, administered through Recreation,
finished in November with a tournament for the top eight teams from each division
City of Colleyville Page 4
Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board MINUTES January 5, 2015
competing. She reminded the Board there were 198 participants in the fall volleyball
league, which was the largest number to date for the fall season. Recreation hosted
the Mid-Cities Tennis tournament on December 6, 2014 with 78 participants and
the tournament generated $1091 in revenue.
Addtionally, Escobedo explained that the Senior Center trips are very popular with
an average of 10 participants (van capacity) from October through December. The
seniors traveled to the State Fair of Texas, Allen Premium Outlets, Texas Motor
Speedway, Theater Arlington and Babes Restaurant, and Winstar Casino. Events
held at the Senior Center included a Veterans Day luncheon with a representative
from Congressman Kenny Marchant’s office in attendance providing a model of a
Veteran’s Memorial Wall for the veterans to sign. On December 11, 58 seniors
attended the annual Senior Holiday Party which included Just Jazz as musical
entertainment, photos with Santa, dinner, dancing, and a “white elephant” gift
exchange.
Escobedo stated that future events include the annual Winter Ball on Friday,
January 30, 2015, at Colleyville Center. This is a spin-off of the daddy-daughter
dance and serves the whole family by offering a mother-son dance, as well. The
event features a live deejay, refreshments, and gift bag for the child. The annual
Bunny Brunch is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2015, at Colleyville Center, and
this event includes brunch, an egg hunt, and photos with the Bunny. AARP will offer
free tax assistance to seniors, at the Senior Center, on Tuesdays from February 3
through April 14, 2015.
Parks accomplishments for the quarter ended December 31, 2014
Manager James Hubbard provided an overview of ongoing and upcoming parks
projects. Sparger Park, one of the most popular Colleyville parks, was updated with
the following changes: new paint in restrooms, new striping on parking lot,
rearrangement of soccer goals to create two complete fields, replacement of
lighting with LED lights and, in the near future, new signage. City Park was updated
with new bird netting, baseball fields #8 and #9 were leveled by staff, softball fields
#1 through #3 will be laser leveled in January, and the landscaping project is still
in progress. L.D. Lockett Park building will be demolished early this year. The
Pleasant Run irrigation project is in its final stages of completion. Church Street
median landscaping project is complete.

Title
Approval to use Voluntary Park Funds for the purchase and installation of benches
and trash receptacles at Sparger Park
Explanation
In response to recent citizen requests, staff has developed a proposal for
additional and improved amenities at Sparger Park, the City’s second most
frequented park according to the 2014 Citizen Survey. The proposed
improvements would bring a total of three (3) new benches and five (5) new
trash receptacles to the park. The installation of the benches and trash cans will
require four (4) new concrete pads to be poured. The proposed location of the
new benches and trash receptacles, seen in the attached exhibit, would provide
evenly spaced seating around the .4 mile loop trail within the park. There is
currently only one “general purpose” bench at the park, as other benches are
located directly adjacent to the Veterans Memorial or the playground.
Four (4) of the five (5) new trash receptacles would replace the existing 55-gallon
drum trash receptacles throughout the park. The proposed receptacles have a
much longer useful life than the existing drums, which tend to rust and dent
easily, and will be bolted down to prevent vandalism/misuse. They are truly
superior in form and function, compared to the 55-gallon drum receptacles and
would serve to beautify the park.
Staff feels this project would be very well received and the quality of the
amenities being proposed would serve the many patrons of Sparger Park for
years to come. To accomplish this project, staff is requesting a recommendation
to the City Council for use of Voluntary Park Fund monies in an amount not to
exceed $10,000. Should this project be approved by the City Council, completion
would be expected by Fall 2015. As of February 28, 2015 there was an
unencumbered balance of $694,863 in the Voluntary Park Fund.

Title
Discuss the use of Parks Tomorrow Funds for the purchase and installation of a
chlorinating recirculation system for the McPhersonPark splash pad
Explanation
Due to water restrictions enacted by the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD),
the splash pad at McPherson Park has been closed since June 3, 2013. At the Pre
Council meeting held on February 3, 2015, staff presented an overview of the
splash pad and introduced several modifications that, if installed, would conserve
water and potentially allow the splash pad to operate during water restrictions.
The agenda briefing and presentation from the meeting are attached.
At the conclusion of the presentation, staff sought City Council direction on the
proposed modifications. Based on an overwhelming amount of use at the splash
pad, the City Council directed staff to pursue the installation of a chlorinating
recirculation system, as this was the only proposed modification that would allow
the splash pad to operate under all stages of water restrictions. Additionally, a
suggestion was made to consider the Parks Tomorrow Fund as an option to fund
the project.
The cost for the purchase and installation of the chlorinating recirculation system
from Vortex International, the manufacturer of the splash pad at McPherson Park,
is $127,747. This system will allow the splash pad to operate throughout the
entire splash pad season, even under the most stringent water restrictions, and is
expected to save 3.1 million gallons of water per splash pad season. This
significant reduction in water consumption will save an estimated $14,500
annually.
Staff is seeking the Board’s affirmation to utilize $140,000 of Parks Tomorrow
funds for the project, which includes a contingency of $12,253. The Parks
Tomorrow Fund was established in 2009 to budget revenues received and
expenditures planned from the gas lease agreement with Titan Operating. The
Parks Tomorrow fund was established for the purpose of funding approved park
projects, facilities, and improvements. If the Board recommends the use of these
funds, staff will request City Council approval to expend the funds and approve
the contract with Vortex International at the April 7, 2015 meeting. As of
February 28, 2015, the Parks Tomorrow Fund has an available balance of
$1,182,592.03.

Overview. Due to water restrictions enacted by the Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD), the splash pad at McPherson Park has been closed since June
3, 2013. Staff has been working with Vortex International, the manufacturer
of the splash pad, to explore options that would conserve water and allow for
the operation of the amenity, while under water restrictions.
Background. In November 2001, the City Council established the McPherson
Park Master Plan Committee to develop a Master Plan that addressed both the
current and future recreational and athletic needs of the City. On October 1,
2002, the City Council approved the McPherson Park Master Plan. The final
phase of the Master Plan, Phase II, included a splash pad, along with additional
restrooms and a group pavilion.
The splash pad at McPherson Park opened on May 28, 2010. The established
seasonal hours and dates of operation are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Memorial
Day to Labor Day. The splash pad was installed with a flow through system,
which results in treated water flowing directly to the splash pad and then
draining into the sanitary sewer system.
Alternative water use systems, seen in the table below, were presented at the
Pre Council meeting on December 15, 2009.
System Type Initial Cost Annual Cost
Recirculation $268,674 $7,288
Repurpose (Irrigation) $177,049 $10,583
Water Well $185,000 $11,363
Based primarily on return on investment strategies, City Council directed staff
to utilize the flow through system which had an initial cost of $16,844 and an
annual operating cost of approximately $13,000, dependent upon use. At the
time of this decision, drought conditions were largely unforeseen, as record
rainfalls were recorded in the years of 2007, when the Phase II park project
was designed, and 2009.
The splash pad was operational for the entirety of the 2010 and 2012
seasons. In compliance with the Water Conservation and Drought
Contingency Plan adopted by attached ordinance O-12-1834, the 2011 splash
pad season was shorted by a few days due to the enactment of Stage 1 water
restrictions by the TRWD, which were later lifted, allowing for the operation of
the splash pad in 2012. One June 3, 2013 Stage 1 water restrictions were
reenacted requiring closure of the splash pad. The splash pad has remained
closed since this date.
While in operation the splash pad used an average of 932,000 gallons per
month. The average monthly cost of operation for water and sewer charges
AGENDA BRIEF FROM FEBRUARY 3, 2015 PRE COUNCIL MEETING
was $3,625 per month, with an average seasonal operation cost of
approximately $14,500.
Update.The 2015 Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan
provides City Council with the discretion to authorize the use of the splash pad
by resolution while under Stage 1 water restrictions. However, the operation
of the splashpad with a flow through system is not permitted under Stage 2
or 3 water restrictions, which are expected to begin on March 1, 2015.
Staff has been working with Vortex International to develop options for
conserving water should the use of the splash pad be authorized. One option
to reduce water consumption would be to update several of the play elements
and spray nozzles to lower flow (gallons per minute - gpm) models. Vortex
proposes that this option, costing $1,400, would allow consumption to be
reduced from approximately 90 gpm to 80 gpm, which would reduce water
consumption by an expected 300,000 gallons per splash pad season. This
would reduce seasonal operating costs by approximately $1,200. In addition
to these equipment modifications, the hours, and or, dates of operation could
be amended to further reduce water consumption. An additional way to save
water would be to reprogram the splash pad to reduce the current four minute
cycle run time. Modifying the hours, and or, dates of operation along with
reprogramming the splash pad would save an estimated amount of between
300,000 and 600,000 gallons of water per splash pad season.
Vortex also supplied a quote of $62,430 to install capture and repurpose tanks
that could be used to capture and store the splash pad water for irrigation.
This option would also require irrigation modifications at a staff estimated cost
of $30,000. During the months of operation, irrigation would be required
nightly to empty the tanks. This system could be used to offset water use by
existing irrigation systems during the splash pad season. This would save
an estimated maximum of 1,000,000 gallons of water per splash pad season.
Additionally, a quote of $127,747 was received for the installation of a
chlorinating recirculation system. Operation of this system requires daily
testing, maintenance, and sanitization under the supervision of a licensed pool
operator. Currently, there are no licensed pool operators on staff. If direction
is given to implement this option, a minimum of two staff members will need
to obtain a pool operator’s license to ensure coverage seven days a week for
required testing and maintenance throughout the splash pad season.
Additionally, testing and maintenance services could be contracted out. This
is the only option that would allow for the operation of the splash pad during
all stages of water restrictions and would be expected to save approximately
3,100,000 gallons of water per splash pad season.
For comparison purposes, of the surrounding cities, Grapevine, North Richland
Hills, Bedford, and Euless have splash pads. The splash pad at Parr Park, in
Grapevine, is the only pad that is not associated with a community pool and
recirculation pump system. The splash pad at Parr Park operates on a flow
through system and was opened in 2012.
Staff is seeking City Council direction in regard to the aforementioned potential
modifications to the splash pad at McPherson Park.
