OLD BUSINESS
1. Discussion of Nature Center Hours
A letter requesting the Nature Center hours be changed to daylight to dark
had been presented at the last meeting. The Board invited members of the
neighborhood to attend this meeting to address their concerns. The issues
discussed were:
-- Enforcement - not lighted: other parks are wide open and allow easy
viewing; CNC has trees and trails; not easily policed; teenagers hangout after
dark; racing in front of park; drinking, etc. Needs to be accessible to
enforcement;
-- Maintenance -Board explained it is to be left in a natural state and not
neatly groomed and maintained like other parks; maintenance will be
improved with Park maintenance Plan; have requested utility vehicle in budget
that will allow policing of trails and back areas without causing damage;
-- Exceptions need to be addressed if hours are changed to daylight to dark;
many use the park after dark to view wildlife that is not visible during the day.

preserve and viewing nature and animals in their environment and the times
of day they are visible. They expressed concerns about the police department
enforcing illegal activities in and around the park and requested Skip Keller
meet with the police chief to determine what the police department sees as the
problems, what they are currently doing, what their plans are and his
recommendations are.
TABLED FOR MORE INFORMATION
2. DISCUSSION OF USE OF ATHI.E'TIC FACILITIES
Athletic associations had requested use of athletic facilities on Sundays,
particularity City Park, due to growth of their associations and limited field
availability. Representatives discussed various reasons for allowing play on
Sundays. Board members expressed concerns and understanding for the
requests, and agreed if used carefully, and fields were left available for family
and other groups to use to allow limited play on Sundays.
Pat Horn made a motion to allow Colleyville youth athletic associations the
ability to host organized youth activities on aundays between the hours of
12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m. to play organized games, make up games. Fields to
be agreed upon and approved by the Parks and Recreation Coordinator as
detailed in the Facilities Use Agreement. Steve Rahn seconded the motion
which was approved by a maj ority vote. Rich Hendler opposed the motion.
3. REVIEW JOINT WORKSHOP WITH CITY COUNCIL AND DISCUSSION
ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION
Pat Horn reviewed the joint meeting with the City Council and stated the
Board had approached the meeting as an opportunity to build bridges with the
Council and to set its primary goal as the upgrading and improvement of City
Park. (See attached overview).
Revenue and Funding were of primary concern. Various options were
discussed including increasing the Non-Resident fee from $10 to $20-25; an
option supported by several council members. The possibility of a ],/2 cent
sales tax election was discussed and opposed by several council members. The
potential for abuse as the law is written was sated as the primary reason.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
Minutes of August 1, 1994
Page 3...
Board members expressed concerns that the council will not even let the
citizens vote on whether or not they wanted the sales tax option. Several
questioned why it has not created problems in other cities in the area that
have approved the sales tax and how they have handled it. Members stated
they look at the sales tax election as an opportunity; City Park is not going
anywhere without it.
The consensus of the Board is to revise the City Park Master Plan and to
project costs in a stair-step approach; assign a committee to develop the plan,
asking for Terry Cheek's input; report on an action plan and estimates in
September. The committee will consist of Pat Horn, Mike Billings and Steve
Rahn.
4. REPORT ON CO CENTER
Paul Vigiletti reported the final plans for the Community Center will be
presented to the City Council at Tuesday night's meeting. Committees are
forming to help raise funds for completion of the Center.
5. OTHER CONCERNS:
Board members discussed the outstanding efforts of the Garden Club and their
contributions to the butterfly and maze gardens at Kidsville and the plans for
landscaping the Parks office entrance.
Yvonne Hatton made a motion to request the City Council issue a proclamation
recognizing the Garden Club for all their hard work on the Butterfly Garden,
Maze Garden and Arbor Days projects. Mike Billings seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
The Board also discussed Fort Worth Christian School's extraordinary efforts
on the Kidsville project sating the closing of the High School for a day during
construction, the number of students that returned after their scheduled times
to continue to help along with the willingness to help and spirit of cooperation
they exhibited.
Yvonne Hatton made a motion to present a plaque from the Park Board to Fort
Worth Christian for their extraordinary efforts on the Kideville project. Paul

agreements to the associations by July 15 and the signed agreements would be

all fields can be scheduled accordingly. Association representatives recapped
their needs. Skip reminded association representatives the terms of the
Agreements would be strictly enforced this year, specifically, proof of
insurance, board of directors information and financial statements must be on

statements are necessary and discussed pros and cons of requiring them.

there are legal reasons for including the financial statement requirement.

VOLUNTARY PARK FUND REQUEST
Staff requests approval of $1,400 dollars from the Voluntary
Park Fund for the purpose of stocking 2,000 trout to host the 2nd
Annual Trout Fishing Day in Colleyville. In recent conversations
with TPWD, there is the possibility they will match the number of
fish purchased by the city; based on their availability.
A date has tentatively been scheduled for the fist Saturday in
February, and as last year, TPWD will provide manpower and
equipment to assist with the program. If enough volunteers can be
secured, an instructional program, "Pathways to Fishing" can be
held prior to the event. Participants would go through stations
covering various aspects of fishing with the final station being
the check out point to receive poles and bait.
The first event held last year was very successful; over 300
people of all ages braved the wind, cold and snow to fish. It was
the springboard for other fishing programs held this summer in
conjunction with TPWD.
