Agenda Item #5, Consider: 1997 Funding Priorities Before considering the funding priorities, Kim Lenoir addressed Scott Martin's question concerning the matching funds for the new $20,000 Forest Service Grant; the funds are allocated in the Park Operations budget. Ms. Lenoir also explained that the two mile, 6-foot wide Dove/White Chapel trail will be located on the property Solana donated north of Dove on the west side of White Chapel. Southlake Park Development Corporation Meeting September 16, 1996 Page 2 To consider the funding priorities, the committee reviewed the Project Budget memo (attached), dated August 15, 1996, from Kim Lenoir, that was presented at the last SPDC meeting and made comments. David Yelton commented on the history of the SPDC and the interaction with citizens prior to the vote to approve the '/a -cent sales tax. He explained that the discussions and priorities were primarily in three areas: (1) continue the expansion of Bicentennial Park, (2) acquisition of more park property, i.e., the property adjacent to the Corps of Engineer property, and (3) fund joint utilization projects with the Carroll ISD. Significant progress has been made in each of these three areas. He stressed the need to keep focused on these three areas when planning for future projects. Scott Martin discussed incorporating some of the recommendations brought forward from the Joint Utilization Committee (JUC) into the SPDC's funding plans. Does the JUC have a "priority" list for joint funding? Mr. Martin referred to the parking lot at the Carroll Middle School and asked if monies could be more wisely spent than on a parking lot, as there are several parking lots at that location. Mr. Martin made several alternative recommendations to the parking lot project. Kim Lenoir, Director of Parks and Recreation Department, stated the JUC is focusing on a long-range, multi -use athletic facility. In further consideration of the Project Budget memo, there were several questions and comments noted: Are there any projects listed that would serve the purpose of JUC? Specific recommendation from JUC as to their priorities is needed; then SPDC can consider allocating (or `ear -marking') a percentage of funds for those JUC items. Which construction projects listed in the memo could be started immediately if they were funded? Which ones already have the master planning done and the City has acquired the property? Ms. Lenoir said the one mile trail and the playground pavilion at Bicentennial Park, and the 17 acres of soccer fields at Bob Jones Park could be done immediately. She pointed out that the FM 1709 hike and bike trail should be deleted off the list as the City did not get the grant; however, the City did get the 80/20 Highway 26 hike and bike trail grant. The $48,000 (20%) indicated on the list for the Highway 26 trail, goes to the Highway Department for construction of the trail from Brumlow to across the creek, which includes construction of a bridge. The projected time frame for the construction of the bridge and trail is about two years. When will the City know if they will receive the $500,000 grant for the Bob Jones Park? Southlake Park Development Corporation Meeting (W September 16, 1996 Page 3 Lenoir said the City should be notified in January 1997. She explained that this grant money needs to be spent up -front and then reimbursed. Reimbursement is done in increments of half of what is spent, ie. $50,000 spent, $25,000 reimbursed. The grant has a maximum time limit of three years. Mayor Rick Stacy commented that one-half of the soccer fields could be done now. The Committee discussed various aspects of the Bob Jones Park and the location of the soccer fields on the 17 acres designated in the Plan and its impact. Kim Lenoir and Carol Lee Hamilton talked about the revisions to the Bob Jones Park Master Plan; a 100-foot bufferyard has been included and some other modifications have been made to the ballfield area. Pamela Muller reminded members of the original intention the City had when the land was purchased. Carol Lee Hamilton said she has had discussions about the feasibility of selling the 17 acres. Mayor Stacy told the committee about a barn which could be donated to the City if the City would pay to move it. Some of the homeowners in the Bob Jones Park area have said they would (W contribute $10,000 toward the barn, if the City will put it on the 17 acres designated for soccer fields. Ms. Lenoir reminded members that the Equestrian Center is in the southern area of the park, near the trail head, which would be a good location for the barn. When discussing the development of the Bob Jones Park, Mayor Stacy recommend moving forward with the road improvements plan and the bufferyard plan at the same time as the soccer plan. Committee members discussed improvements to White Chapel Blvd. and access to the soccer fields. The idea of constructing an interim section road to make it `passable" was brought up. Scott Martin asked if the Director of Public Works had any estimates on constructing an interim section road on North White Chapel. Mr. Hawk said does and that it was a sizeable amount because of the distance of the road. Pamela Muller suggested a turn lane be added. Mr. Hawk said it might be feasible to do overlays and a turn lane on White Chapel, but cost prohibitive at this time to construct the kind of road recommended in the Thoroughfare Plan. It was noted there are eight soccer fields at Bicentennial Park now. Once the soccer fields are constructed in the Bob Jones Park, the soccer fields at Bicentennial Park will become tennis and basketball courts, according to the Bicentennial Park Master Plan. Three soccer fields are being developed at Durham Elementary. Chairman Yelton summarized the committee's discussion of the priority of the projects. The priorities are 1) land acquisition, 2) soccer fields (5 temporary fields) and necessary bufferyards and 3) the playground pavilion. Mayor Stacy reiterated the need for road improvements in conjunction with the development of the soccer fields. With this in mind, SPDC will need Southlake Park Development Corporation Meeting September 16, 1996 Page 4 estimates on various options for road improvements - partial, complete, one -lane, turn lane addition - at the next meeting before making a funding priority recommendation. Mayor Stacy will present information regarding a municipal sportsplex at the SPDC meeting on October 21. Carol Lee Hamilton noted, for the record, that one of the next priorities for the Park is access to tennis courts. She said there is a tremendous gap between the current tennis facilities and the need for courts. Ms. Hamilton explained that "access to tennis courts" means the need to develop tennis courts would be emphasized to developers in their subdivisions and access for the Tennis Association would be agreed upon. A motion was made by Scott Martin to continue the discussion of setting the priority items until the next scheduled meeting when the information requested regarding the cost of the road improvement and the Mayor's presentation is brought back. Ralph Evans seconded the motion. The committee voted unanimously to continue the discussion. Agenda Item #6, Adjournment A motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 7:40 p.m. Sandra L.
