3. Discussion and consideration of HLM Design Inc., proposal for design
services for the Rehabilitation Master Plan for the Webb House at
Bransford Park
Monica Sue Walsh, Parks and Recreation Manager gave an overview of Weldon
Nash's proposal for design services for the Rehabilitation Master Plan for the
Webb House at Bransford Park. This is a unique project that requires a
consultant with historical restoration experience. This proposal includes
construction documents and bid preparation. Funding is allocated in the FY 2001
and 2002 Colleyville Economic Development Corporation (CEDe) budget. After
discussion by the board, Steve Magee motioned that the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board approve a recommendation to the City Council to approve
Weldon Nash's proposal for design services for the Rehabilitation Master Plan for
the Webb House at Bransford Park. Joe Noorlag seconded the motion and the
vote was unanimous.
4. Other Informational Items
Rich Hendler introduced Dave Dudziak, Colleyville resident and member of the
Kimzey Park Master Plan Committee. Mr. Dudziak gave a brief history of his
involvement with the Kimzey Park development and stated his disappointment
that the four committee member's names will not be included on the dedication
plaque for Kimzey Park. Dianne McWethy, Interim City Manager, stated the
current policy is to include the City Council, Parks and Recreation Board, City
Manager, Architect, and Construction Contractor. All the existing park dedication
plaques have followed this format.
After discussion by the board it was decided that the board is in support of the
present break line rule concerning plaques but will look into other possible
avenues of recognition.
5. Discussion and consideration of Newman, Jackson, Bieberstein
Landscape Architecture proposal for ADA accessibility at city parks and
facilities.
Monica Sue Walsh, Parks and Recreation Manager gave an overview of Karl
Bieberstein's proposal for ADA accessibility at city parks and facilities. There are
several park facilities in the city that need to be evaluated according to ADA
accessibility standards.
After a discussion by the board, Steve Magee motioned that the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board table this item for later discussion. Joe Noorlag
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.

Monica Sue Walsh, Parks and Recreation Manager indicated the staff had been
researching grant applications through Texas Historical Commission, Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Department of Transportation and
National Trust for Historic Preservation for the Rehabilitation of the Webb House.
The Texas Historical Commission is the best opportunity for this project. The
application deadline is August 31, 2001 and grant recipients are notified in early
November. Funding for matching dollars is available in the FY 2002 Colleyville
Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) budget.
7. Prioritizing Parks and Recreation projects

based on the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan

same.
After discussion by the board, Rich Hendler suggested that this discussion be
