Agenda Item #1, Call to Order
President David Yelton called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. A quorum was present.
Yelton introduced Bethann Scratchard as a new SPDC member. Scott Martin joined the meeting
III at this time.
Agenda Item #2, Approval of the April 21, 1997 Meeting Minutes
Scott Martin asked for clarity on the comments found in the third paragraph on page 7 and asked
that the last sentence of the paragraph be struck from the minutes. He said he believed the
Board's intention was that the Park Board would not have sole approval of granting matching fund
requests since the Park Board would have to bring any requests before the SPDC first. President
Yelton stated that the policy and procedure before the committee this evening clearly defines the
roles of each and states that the Park Board will bring any requests to the SPDC for consent
agenda or discussion.
Also, the minutes will be revised to show that Scott Martin abstained from the vote on item #9.
A motion was made to approve the April 21, 1997 meeting minutes as amended.

OTHER ITEMS
Agenda Item #7, Discussion: Status of SPDC Projects
(Tape Section 163)
• Kim Lenoir, Director of Parks and Recreation, presented the Capital Projects Status Report dated
SPDC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING ON APRIL 21, 1997 PAGE 2 OF 6
• May 16, 1997 (attached to the minutes). Some of the items touched on were:
ISTEA Grant- Cottonbelt Hike and Bike
Hike and Bike Trail Construction - $48,000 (20% of project costs) - City is moving
forward with Colleyville, North Richland Hills to enter into an agreement; currently
seeking RFPs on professional services for the trail project. Plan to bring a contract and
an interlocal agreement to the Council next month. Ms. Lenoir stated this will probably
be a three year project as the State Highway Department must approve all the steps.
Joint-Use Projects
CISD Parking Lot at Carroll Middle School Gym - $70,000
The Carroll Middle School is working on the parking lot; hoping to bid construction of
the project this summer.
Land Acquisition near KISD (Smith Property)- $300,000
Hope to finalize the contract in June. Site is being surveyed.
S
Neighborhood Parks
City will make an offer for the Park Planning and Construction Superintendent tomorrow.
There were 21 applications received. This individual will be responsible for "Master
Planning" neighborhood parks.
Special Projects - Renovation of City-owned Homes
Eubank's Home - $50,000
Ms. Lenoir stated the plans will come forward next month with a better understanding of
exact costs for renovations. The Senior Advisory Commission is working with the City's
Community Services Manager, Kevin Hugman, on coming up with uses they would
recommend for the facility. City staff engineer, Sean Poe, is working with the
Commission to determine what needs to be done to make the facility accessible and what
renovations are needed.
Matching Funds - Community Groups
Adventure Alley Pavilion by Leadership Southlake - $25,000
SThe committee feels the pavilion request needs to be reviewed again by the Park Board
SPDC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING ON APRIL 21, 1997 PAGE 3 OF 6
• then brought to SPDC for their consideration for match funding.
The members talked about the format of the Capital Projects Status Report and how it corresponds
with the budget format. Committee member Kendall suggested that the Report reflect the actual
costs of the projects in addition to the estimated costs. Committee member Martin would like th e
Reserve Funds item on the Report to indicate an adjusted fund balance. Mr. Yelton recommended
the reporting structure to stay the same with the addition of a "remaining funds" line for each
category of the Report and cited the example of the "remaining funds of $71,150" for the
Matching Funds category. The committee agreed they would like to see a quarterly financial
report beginning next meeting.
Agenda Item #8, Consider: Bob Jones Park Construction Budget Allocations
(Tape section 538)
Shana Yelverton reminded members of the discussion of this item at the last meeting. More time
was needed by the engineer, Cheatham and Associates, to complete the grading plan and provide
better costs estimates. Ms. Lenoir presented an extension to the worksheet provided previously.
The Bob Jones Park Construction Phase I, dated May 19, 1997, now includes a column, "5/97
Budget."
S
Ms. Lenoir reviewed each line item.
Grading (soccer) & Lake - The lake was not included in original chart. This figure includes 15
soccer fields at the site and the grading for the large berm to the north. The berm is 10 feet tall
the entire length of the Bob Jones Road side of the site. The cost of moving the dirt and
compaction of the berm is $93,000. The berm requires 23,000 cubic yards of dirt. The estimate
shown of$476,500 reflects an estimate for construction of a berm half the width and height shown
but maintains the length and makes the berm appear more natural. If the berm is reduced, the cos t
is lowered to $70,000 from $93,000, including the landscaping and dirt. Eddie Cheatham will
put together a 3-D view of the berm and bring back to the meeting in June, along with the
completed grading plan.
Eddie Cheatham reported that all the analysis of the lake revealed that the material that will be
removed from the lake looks good and is well suited for the project. His study also shows that
we are a little short of dirt for the berm but this will be taken care of since the berm is being
reduced and is close to balance. The soils engineers will look at the lake to determine the bed
condition and ability to hold the water.
Lighting of the Soccer Fields - Ms. Lenoir stated that the Southern fields would be constructed
during this phase and eventually lighted. Ms. Yelverton stated that the fields are shown on the
Master Plan as being lighted. Mr. Martin clarified that these are the three southern most fields,
• beyond the two parking lots.
SPDC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING ON APRIL 21, 1997 PAGE 4 OF 6
S
Mr. Yelton asked Ms. Lenoir if we ever received from John Levitt a resolution from the Soccer
Board projecting their needs regarding the number, sizes and configurations of the soccer fields.
Ms. Lenoir said yes and that Mr. Levitt has reviewed these new plans. Ms. Lenoir explained how
the new plans deviate from the Master Plan.
Utilities - Water/Sewer - Covers distribution of the water into the park, and into the restroom
facilities. Sewer was taken out and replaced with septic tanks.
Restroom/Concession - Cost of septic system for restroom only. This item reduced to just
restroom with septic system. Soccer Association said a concession stand was a low priority at this
time.
Parking- Cost for 446 spaces. Lenoir reported that at least 35 spaces per field are needed. Mr.
Yelton asked if they need to be paved. Ms. Yelverton explained that the current plan shows
parking paved around a grassy or gravel area which can be used for overflow. They are still
trying to determine how much space is needed to accommodate the overlap traffic coming into the
parking space.
Mr. Yelton suggested this be significantly reduced to just having the entryways paved and use
gravel. Mr. Martin recommend looking at some other material other than gravel due to dust
abatement. Mr. Cheatham said asphalt would be maybe 25% cheaper than concrete. Mr. Hawk
S
said concrete would not be viable due to ground water problems. Mr. Yelton would like this to
be brought back into budget figure. Need to look at other alternatives that don't create dust. Mr.
Martin suggest a "pierced concrete paver" as an alternative, but probably not viable.
Street- The third lane to turn into the park has been deleted from the cost estimate and plan. The
lane may need to be added in a year or year and a half. The development of this lane is tied to
the possible future development of that area and the ability to work with developers.
Drainage - Ms. Lenoir stated she has concerns with this which is allowing all open ditches on
the site. Mr. Cheatham said the cost to run the drainage conduit underground would be $190,000,
which could be done at a later date. The fields will be designed to be built up to allow for
drainage between them.
Cheatham will bring the plans back to the next meeting.
Pavilion - Deleted.
Landscaping- Berm /Park - The actual construction of the berm is included in the grading cost.
The $95,148 will include turf grass on some soccer fields and landscaping. Also looking at
transplanting some of the large trees on the site.
S
Irrigation - Nothing changed.
SPDC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING ON APRIL 21, 1997 PAGE 5 OF 6
S Playground/Fence - Playground has been removed. This does include a chain-link fence around
the youth ballfields. Ms. Yelverton explained the rational for placement of the fence and the
segregation of the fields from the pond on the east side. Options were discussed. There are no
bleachers or goals included in the plan, but may come out of the contingent plan. The Board
discussed various fence material options
Contingency - 10% - Been reduced to reflect new budget figures.
Total of Fees - The fees have been reduced to reflect the new budget figures.
Ms. Lenoir explained how the engineering costs, architecture costs, and landscape architecture
was figured into the chart.
Ralph Evans left the meeting at 7:10 p.m.

')(,--"" Agenda Item No. 7,Consider:Policy for Projects and_Communitylllatching FundRequests-Kendall
stated her editing suggestions to the policy such as changing the statement of purpose to a more
defined sentence and define matching funds in this policy as dollar for dollar cash.
Yelverton stated that the Board may recommend up to $5,000 and place the item on the SPDC
consent agenda and other recommendations will go forward. SPDC can pull items off consent
agenda at will. Berman stated the fact that the Board is doing the "leg work" for requests up to
$5,000 and SPDC will likely always accept these recommendations.
Kendall suggested that in item 2,matching funds should be defined as actual or estimated cost if that
is what is meant by value. Value is open ended and should be changed.
Fierce suggested defining the cost or estimated cost to complete the project and add a time frame and
Kendall agreed. Fierce expressed his concern about holding money for projects and missing out on
other projects that may come up at a later date. Jones suggested a time frame of one year before the
Board reviews the project and if the project is not close to completion then something must be
wrong. Jones also suggested a review committee. Hamilton stated that the length of time required

project isn't completed in or near the time frame stated, but the leader of the project can speak to the
Board. Yelverton expressed a need for flexibility because the time needed for each project varies.
Lenoir stated that the request form does have a start and completion date so we can review the
progression using these dates.
Hamilton stated that item 8 should include: Length of time required to complete the project will be
considered and not meeting indicated dates may jeopardize funding.
Jones stated that the project should be subject to review from time to time and Beyer said possibly
quarterly reviews.
Hamilton stated that the project director should report to the Board if they fall behind their time
schedule. Hamilton suggested that the first sentence read"...provide a process for considering park
related projects proposed by an individual or organization." Hamilton stated that in item 2 ask how
the project is to be funded and the applicant should specify their funding mechanism such as
matching,outside sources, volunteer, etc. and eliminate estimated costs. Also, remove"value" and
add estimated cost to complete the project.
Motion was made to accept the policy and procedure for matching fund requests as amended.

KSB President Lisa Stockdyk, 720 North Peytonville, approached the Board. Johnson reported that
SPDC has authorized the Park Board to allocate up to $5,000 for matching funds. The match is
dollar for dollar. KSB asked that the Board reconsider since the Board should review in-kind labor
as well.
Stockdyk stated that she understood dollar for dollar but she also felt that in-kind labor should be
considered and defined.

**UNOFFICIAL MINUTES NOT APPROVED BY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD**
Hamilton clarified that the previous decision was for matching funds not to exceed $8,100 and since
then the Park Board has been authorized to allocate up to $5,000. Hamilton stated that she
understands that SPDC has no problem with donations other than cash, but there should be
accompanied documentation to show the in-kind contribution and labor worth. SPDC wants
receipts.
Kendall stated that SPDC defined matching as dollar for dollar and they will not consider matching
unless it is matching dollar for dollar and there is no credit for labor. However, as mentioned
previously, the door is not closed. KSB or any organization hoping to receive funds for a project can
go to the City or SPDC and ask for additional funding from a "separate pot of money" which does
not come from matching funds.
Hamilton recalls Ralph Evans' comment that matching is dollar for dollar and if labor is to be
considered there should be a clear showing from a reliable outside source of how much the labor
costs and place a value to all items.
Johnson stated that she would like to see documentation (bids).
Stockdyk stated that they did have one bid on their labor and items. Hamilton asked that KSB
withdraw from this agenda and organize a package for the Boards review at a later date.
Berman confirmed that the Board allocated up to $8,100 at their last meeting. The Board now could
match dollar for dollar up to $4,800, the amount KSB has stated they have in cash. KSB should
approach other funding organizations and seek contributions of those organization to arrive at the
$8,100. Stockdyk stated that most of the organizations disbursed their funds in the fall.
Goldstein expressed concern about using volunteerism as a means of matching and he stated why
would funds be used to match volunteer labor as there are too many issues involved.
Stockdyk stated that they can complete the project with volunteers and then try to give a value to all
work complete and define labor.
Fierce stated that he is not comfortable using KSB as a test in regard to defining matching funds.
Yelverton stated that during the SPDC meeting the Board was clear about defining matching funds
as dollar for dollar and cited it as a mechanism to leverage funds. She also stated that SPDC said
that the Park Board can discuss the procedure and contemplate consideration of additional support
for a project as part of the normal budgeting process.
Kendall stated that the Board should not match volunteer, labor, etc., but match money.
Yelverton stated matching should be based on estimated costs and be placed.in the budget and
iiv invoices will reflect hard costs. Matching will be the approved"not be exceeded"amount. Payment

will only be for what can be invoiced.
Goldstein stated that $19,552 is the total cost for the waterscape and KSB has $5,000 and the Board
can match this$5,000. Therefore,$9,553 remains,$2,200 is deducted which includes plants donated
and labor and $7,200 remains for completion. If required, the Board is able to request that SPDC
fund up to $8,000.
The motion was made to provide matching funds up to $5,000.
Motion: Goldstein
Second: Kendall
Ayes: Goldstein, Berman, Fierce, Beyer, Johnson, Kendall, Jones
Nays: Hamilton
Approved: 7-1
Goldstein stated that he would like to see KSB come up with more hard dollars and then come to the
Board for matching funds. Stockdyk expressed her concerns regarding the difficulty in raising
funds. Jones expressed agreement with Goldstein and suggested KSB approach Home Depot who
may be of assistance. Berman expressed agreement that looking at Home Depot and though David
McMahan would be a natural approach. Also, approach to the Southlake Woman's Society should
be considered.
0 Hamilton expressed her concern in leaping into the project if full funding is not available.
Fierce provided the example of Leadership Southlake noting that $25,000 was approved and the
group must raise the additional funds.
The idea of matching in phases arose and Hamilton stated that the Board should look at the total cost
and the project which should be completed in one phase to avoid continuous matching.
Fierce stated KSB needs to understand that the Board is wrestling intellectually with defining
matching funds and not with the KSB project but KSB is just currently in the mix so the project
should be put on hold and the Board should complete the definitions.
Stockdyk requested that the Board now consider allocating additional funds from SPDC to complete
the waterscape. Johnson asked if anyone on the Board wanted to make a motion as requested by
Stockdyk.
No further motions were made, the Board moved to the next item.
Agenda Item No. 5,Administrative C_onmients - Kendall questioned what was meant in the report
that CISD is working with the City in master planning the parks that will be near the schools. Lenoir
commented that staff is working on surveying and planning the property near the schools that can
benefit, the park and/or near the park that can benefit the schools. Staff will coordinate plans with

• STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
1. Why Choose _MESA Design Group Team?
a. Unique Design Approach
The team of landscape architects at MESA proposes to use design as a
unique approach to master planning the site. We will take the program
beyond function and express form on the site by developing a series of
unique spaces with a 3we11 throughout sequence between them and special
axial relationships which entice the park user. These spaces will be
formed through the use of vertical elements: furniture, native and installed
plant material and architectural expression noted for its historical
reference and sense of permanence. MESA has won numerous awards for •
park design. These include Honor Awards from ASLA, the Award of
Excellence from TRAPS and multiple APA awards for Enhancing Public
Open Space.
b. Experience
MESA has experience in the public sector, specifically in park and
recreation design. The firm has completed over thirty park projects with
budgets ranging from S15,000 to S5,000,00. Park master plans which.the
• office has accomplished include Fox Hollow Park, Oak Grove Park and
Southlake City Park (both CEO property), Quorum Park, Bicentennial
Park, Caddo National Grasslands and, most recently, large park facilities
for North Richland Hills, Plano and Arlington. MESA is experienced in
writing TPWD Grants, having written two successful S500,00 grants for
the cities of Coppell and Dallas. In addition, members of the firm
attended the TPWD Grant Assistant Workshop in North Richland Hills.
MESA recently submitted two additional TPWD grant proposals for the
cities of Plano and North Richland Hills.
c. Project Management Expertise
The design team is very conscious of project management with respect to
time and budget. MESA managers its projects throughout weekly inter-
office meetings and bi-weekly client meetings. Communication is the key
to a successful product for both City staff and the general public. A
project status report and time schedule will be issued on a periodic basis
throughout the master plan process. Cost estimating is critical for
evaluating phasing priorities.
Quality Control is important in our design office. Principals at MESA are
instrumental in the design process and concept development; they also
• check construction documents thoroughly prior to issuing them for
bidding and follow the project through the construction process.

• COST SAVINGS: '
Total project for Phase II is approximately $1,666,560.00. Some ideas for potential cost
savings are as follows:
1. Provide restrooms with only interior shell for pro shop which could be developed
later or with private funds.
$100,000.00
2. Construct (1) one mile of hike and bike trail through open space only.
$71,280.00
3. Reduce parking expansion to 100 spaces. Tennis and teen facilities require little
parking. Further expansion can occur when softball fields are renovated.
$210,000.00
4. Develop approximately 50% of landscape buffer adjacent to baseball fields only,
where it is currently needed. Develop remainder when further ballfields and
recreation center is added.
