20 Agenda Item No 2 Consider: Approval of Minutes for April 14, 1997 Regular Board Meeting -
21 On page 4, Agenda Item No. 7, Kendall and Hamilton added the fact that the video presentation
22 would be a Youth Board project.
23
24 Motion was made to approve the minutes of April 14, 1997 as amended.

30
31 Johnson requested that Agenda Item No. 9, be moved before Item No. 3. Hamilton requested
32 that Item No. 8 be placed before Item 5.
33
34 Agenda Item No 9. Consider: Donations - Southlake Historical Commission - Zena Rucker, 650
35 South Carroll, presented information to the Board regarding a historical cabin. Rucker has
36 looked at the very south end of Bob Jones Park, past Corps property between two creeks, as a
37 prime location for the one cabin and possibly as many as 4-5 cabins to create a "heritage village."
38 Rucker also suggested the area of flat, open land location near the multi purpose arena.
39
40 Rucker expressed concern for quick action on the Board's part since the logs will be tagged this
41 week and she would like to move them to their permanent location soon.

1
2 Fierce noted that Aloha Payne had indicated that the cabin could be dismantled and stored.
3
4 Rucker stated that the cabin has begun to deteriorate and the previous suggestion by herself of
5 storing the cabin in her barn is not possible due to her needs of storing hay.
6
7 Johnson asked Rucker how the cabin would be used. Rucker stated that the Historical Society
8 may envision use similar to the Fort Worth Log Cabin Village as other cabins may be
9 implemented into the site. Johnson suggested use similar to the Torian in Grapevine.
10
11 Johnson asked if there are other cabins. Rucker thought there could be. Goldstein asked about
12 the Fechtel Farm House. Rucker expressed a great interest by the Southlake Historical Society in
13 moving the Fechtel House too.
14
15 Fierce asked Lenoir about the master plan of the nature center area and Lenoir stated there is no
16 lease agreement from the Corps and a committee is reviewing the nature center. The site would
17 be a desirable location for the cabin(s).
18
19 Fierce stated that if the cabin is placed in the Bob Jones locations or other locations we will have
20 several concerns: security and vandalism concerns due to continuous construction and the remote
21 location of some of these sites. Lenoir pointed out an area in the northeast corner of the old West
22 Beach property, past the soccer field near equestrian trails since a road does cut through, is a
23 possible site to locate these facilities.
24
25 Fierce suggested the cabin be built on a platform on an interim basis until it could be moved,
26 since no one is prepared to place it in the desired and suggested areas.
27
28 Rucker stated the built-size is 16'x16' and due to the fact that there are very few log homes, we
29 should preserve this as the history of Southlake.
30
31 Berman stated that these homes would serve many purposes, possibly as meeting rooms or for
32 historical tours or programs.
33
34 Rucker inquired about the Fechtel Farm house being burned for practice by the fire department.
35 This has been considered.
36
37 The Board discussed with Ron Harper the technicalities of building the cabin on an interim
38 foundation until it can be moved to its permanent location as they decided that Bob Jones Park is
39 not ready for the cabin due to the many security problems that may arise.
40
41 Johnson liked the idea of a series of these homes, placed in or near the nature center.

1
2 Hamilton suggested tabling the item since it is a donation and the Board is not yet ready to take it
3 as such, but the Board could request that City staff dismantle the cabin and find a temporary
4 storage location. Also, a donation form indicating value and details of how the donation will be
5 handled in a short and long term manner should be completed. Hamilton and the Board stated
6 that they support the idea.
7
8 Hamilton requested that the City provide assistance to find a temporary place to dismantle and
9 store the cabin out of the elements as it could be a lengthy time period until it is ready for Bob
10 Jones Park.
11
12 The Board, Harper and Hawk discussed the size of the cabin and whether or not space is
13 available. Fierce suggested storage in a trailer instead of a warehouse due to ease of movement
14 prior to construction. Hawk suggested that the staff analyze the possibilities. The Board also
15 requested that staff look into the feasibility of moving the Fechtel House. Johnson and Hamilton
16 asked who will be paying for this storage. Jones recommends that the Historical Society pay.
17
18 Motion made to table Item No 9 and the Board urged the Historical Society to work with City
19 staff to come up with a plan for storing the cabin and return to the Board with a donation plan.
20
21 Motion: Hamilton
22 Second: Jones
23 Ayes: Goldstein, Berman, Fierce, Beyer, Johnson, Kendall, Hamilton, Jones.
24 Nays: None
25 Approved: 8-0
26
27 Agenda Item No 3, Presentation: Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District - Curtis E. Hawk -City
28 Manager Curtis Hawk presented maps and information on the proposed TIF district, north of
29 1709 ROW. The area designated will allow the City to "capture" funds from the commercial
30 development, etc. for improvements to the area.
31
32 Hawk stated that the City is considering a TIF to take advantage of tax revenues from other
33 taxing jurisdictions and for the fact that the captured value allows the City to concentrate funds
34 for public improvements in an area where these improvements are needed. The TIF will enable
35 us to do things we might not otherwise be able to do.
36
37 Hawk provided examples of how the funds can be leveraged to make significant improvements.
38 The more taxing entities that participate, the easier it will be to fund district projects and public
39 improvements.
40

City of Southlake, Texas
"UNOFFICIAL MINUTES NOT APPROVED BY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD"
1 Hawk stated that there may be a problem with school participation due to the legislative activity.
2 Without local support of a funding mechanism like a TIF, facilities such as City Hall, school
3 district administration buildings or multi-use facilities will be virtually impossible to complete
4 or will be significantly delayed. City dollars only will not be enough financial support and it
5 may leave us in a deficit. Growth and public facilities will come about much quicker with the
6 assistance of TIF.
7
8 Hawk stated that Southlake is using the TIF in a much different manner than other cities. For
9 example, a TIF is commonly used for economic development, but Southlake intends to use it to
lo fund
11
12 City projects as well. Eventually, the park related projects would return to the Park Board during
13 the planning process.
14
15 Hawk stated that real property taxes are usually the revenue captured and personal property and
16 sales taxes will continue to be used as they are commonly used, i.e., funneled into the general
17 fund.
18
19 Hawk noted that TIF is the only financial way to do some things we want to and the schools want
20 to be involved. Hamilton asked about the likelihood of other jurisdictions participating. Hawk
21 stated that they have in other TIFs. Participation in TIF encourages development and attracts
22 business and growth which affects the future tax base which is an incentive.
23
24 Fierce inquired about the life of a TIF.
25
26 Hawk stated that in reality, 50 years or the life of the last bond sold to build the last project. One
27 must consider that once some projects are funded, others may be added. Some projects will take
28 10-20 years to pay for once a bond is issued.
29
30 Kendall asked if the town center could be developed without the TIF.
31
32 Hawk stated that town center will happen without the TIF, but construction will be significantly
33 slowed. If the City Hall and school administration building were financed by a city wide vote for
34 a general bond election, it could take many years to develop. City Hall should be constructed in
35 Phase I since it will act as an "anchor" for other businesses.
36
37 Hawk continued to provide further benefits concerning TIF, such as no tax rate increase on
38 community, accelerated building of projects and Southlake gains sales tax revenue from a
39 completed Phase I rather than a slow phase by phase process.

1 Beyer inquired about the time frame of the stadium project and Hawk estimated about two years
2 once the land is acquired.
3
4 Beyer inquired about the cost of a stadium and Lenoir stated that the estimated cost of a stadium
5 is $1,000 per seat.
6
7 Hawk stated that TIF is a different approach to building facilities. The City could build the sites
8 and sell general obligation bonds for other needs and use the sales tax rate to fund roads.
9
10 Agenda Item No 4 Consider: Sidewalk Ordinance -Johnson stated that Kendall is working with
11 Harper in regard to the Sidewalk Ordinance. The initial draft was presented during the Park
12 Board work session on Thursday, May 8, 1997. Harper asked the Board for changes, comments
13 and improvements and states that this ordinance will be discussed at the Council retreat in June
14 and then be given to P&Z.
15
16 Kendall stated that in 2.01 A, there should not be the opportunity for the school district to decline
17 sidewalks. Jones stated that schools are the number one place for sidewalks.
18
19 The Board decided that much of the wording should be worked on so issues are more definitive.
20
21 Hamilton questioned that in 2.01 B, who decides that sidewalks appear desirable and/or
22 undesirable and that this ordinance should be an open end in regard to parks.
23
24 Hamilton questioned what "other public improvements and at any place..." means and Harper
25 stated that public improvements are water, sewer, roads infrastructure, etc.
26
27 Jones stated in regard to residential sidewalks, the addition should include within 1500 ft of the
28 park.
29
30 Lenoir states that the ordinance does not talk of a connection with the trail master plan and
31 Harper stated that his revisions would address this connection.
32
33 The Board recommended that roadway segments should be defined and that there should be a
34 reference to time of development in section C and questioned whether section C is required since
35 section E is present. Fierce stated that section C refers to the "grand scale" and that section E
36 refers to "lot". The Board recommended to combine section C and E so there is not reference in
37 two separate areas.
38
39 In regard to Section 2.02 E, the Board recommended redefining commercial uses as "non-
40 residential".
41

1 Berman question whether this ordinance mentions the outcome to trees which may be in the path
2 of the sidewalk construction and Harper states that is does or intends to. Johnson confirmed that
3 the ordinance states that trees will be spared by altering the alignment of the sidewalk.
4
5 Harper stated that he will meet next week with attorneys regarding some of the wording and the
6 revised edition will be in the June Park Board packet and Board members were encouraged to
7 provide Harper with other changes.
8
9 The Board took no action on this item pending revisions.
10
11 Agenda Item No 8 Consider: Bicentennial Park Waterscape Project - Keep Southlake Beautiful
12 - KSB President Lisa Stockdyk, 720 North Peytonville, approached the Board. Johnson reported
13 that SPDC has authorized the Park Board to allocate up to $5,000 for matching funds. The
14 match is dollar for dollar. KSB asked that the Board reconsider since the Board should review
15 in-kind labor as well.
16
17 Stockdyk stated that she understood dollar for dollar but she also felt that in-kind labor should be
18 considered and defined.
19 Hamilton clarified that the previous decision was for matching funds not to exceed $8,100 and
20 since then the Park Board has been authorized to allocate up to $5,000. Hamilton stated that she
21 understands that SPDC has no problem with donations other than cash, but there should be
22 accompanied documentation to show the in-kind contribution and labor worth. SPDC wants
23 receipts.
24
25 Kendall stated that SPDC defined matching as dollar for dollar and they will not consider
26 matching unless it is matching dollar for dollar and there is no credit for labor. However, as
27 mentioned previously, the door is not closed. KSB or any organization hoping to receive funds
28 for a project can go to the City or SPDC and ask for additional funding from a "separate pot of
29 money" which does not come from matching funds.
30
31 Hamilton recalls Ralph Evans' comment that matching is dollar for dollar and if labor is to be
32 considered there should be a clear showing from a reliable outside source of how much the labor
33 costs and place a value to all items.
34
35 Johnson stated that she would like to see documentation (bids).
36
37 Stockdyk stated that they did have one bid on their labor and items. Hamilton asked that KSB
38 withdraw from this agenda and organize a package for the Boards review at a later date.
39
40 Berman confirmed that the Board allocated up to $8,100 at their last meeting. The Board now
41 could match dollar for dollar up to $4,800, the amount KSB has stated they have in cash. KSB
Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, May 12,1997 Page 6 of 12
City of Southlake, Texas
"UNOFFICIAL MINUTES NOT APPROVED BY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD"
1 should approach other funding organizations and seek contributions of those organization to
2 arrive at the $8,100. Stockdyk stated that most of the organizations disbursed their funds in the
3 fall.
4
5 Goldstein expressed concern about using volunteerism as a means of matching and he stated why
6 would funds be used to match volunteer labor as there are too many issues involved.
7
8 Stockdyk stated that they can complete the project with volunteers and then try to give a value to
9 all work complete and define labor.
10
I 1 Fierce stated that he is not comfortable using KSB as a test in regard to defining matching funds.
12
13 Yelverton stated that during the SPDC meeting the Board was clear about defining matching
14 funds as dollar for dollar and cited it as a mechanism to leverage funds. She also stated that
15 SPDC said that the Park Board can discuss the procedure and contemplate consideration of
16 additional support for a project as part of the normal budgeting process.
17
18 Kendall stated that the Board should not match volunteer, labor, etc., but match money.
19
20 Yelverton stated matching should be based on estimated costs and be placed in the budget and
21 invoices will reflect hard costs. Matching will be the approved "not be exceeded" amount.
22 Payment will only be for what can be invoiced.
23
24 Goldstein stated that $19,552 is the total cost for the waterscape and KSB has $5,000 and the
25 Board can match this $5,000. Therefore, $9,553 remains, $2,200 is deducted which includes
26 plants donated and labor and $7,200 remains for completion. If required, the Board is able to
27 request that SPDC fund up to $8,000.
28
29 The motion was made to provide matching funds up to $5,000.
30 Motion: Goldstein
31 Second: Kendall
32 Ayes: Goldstein, Berman, Fierce, Beyer, Johnson, Kendall, Jones
33 Nays: Hamilton
34 Approved: 7-1
35
36 Goldstein stated that he would like to see KSB come up with more hard dollars and then come to
37 the Board for matching funds. Stockdyk expressed her concerns regarding the difficulty in
38 raising funds. Jones expressed agreement with Goldstein and suggested KSB approach Home
39 Depot who may be of assistance. Berman expressed agreement that looking at Home Depot and
40 thought David McMahan would be a natural approach. Also, approach to the Southlake
41 Woman's Society should be considered.

1
2 Hamilton expressed her concern in leaping into the project if full funding is not available.
3
4 Fierce provided the example of Leadership Southlake noting that $25,000 was approved and the
5 group must raise the additional funds.
6
7 The idea of matching in phases arose and Hamilton stated that the Board should look at the total
8 cost and the project which should be completed in one phase to avoid continuous matching.
9
to Fierce stated KSB needs to understand that the Board is wrestling intellectually with defining
11 matching funds and not specifically with the KSB project. The Board must complete their
12 definitions in regard to matching funds.
13
14 Stockdyk requested that the Board now consider allocating additional funds from SPDC to
15 complete the waterscape. Johnson asked if anyone on the Board wanted to make a motion as
16 requested by Stockdyk.
17
18 No further motions were made, the Board moved to the next item.
19
20 Agenda Item No. 5. Administrative Comments - Kendall questioned what was meant in the
21 report that CISD is working with the City in master planning the parks that will be near the
22 schools. Lenoir commented that staff is working on surveying and planning the property near the
23 schools that can benefit, the park and/or near the park that can benefit the schools. Staff will
24 coordinate plans with the principals and CISD administrative staff.
25
26 Kendall asked about the video and Yelverton stated that the staff wanted a video prototype could
27 be completed to show to the Council during their budget retreat in June..
28
29 Johnson discussed and routed the sign up sheet for reporting which Board member was to report
30 to Council during their meetings.
31
32 Berman expressed her concern about the portable toilets being turned over and they were solving
33 the problem.
34
35 Fierce noted that he has heard rumors about private parks becoming part of the public parks
36 system and stated that this will be a discussion item later centered on how and if we should
37 receive such facilities when offered.
38
39 Johnson read the letter forwarded by Karen Cienki about a lone child in the park.

1 Kendall informed the Board of her participation in forming a hockey committee and encouraged
2 interest in an adult league.
3
4 Beyer stated that the number and locations of historical buildings should be defined and Johnson
5 stated that Southlake should take advantage of the opportunity to have a type of "cabin village".
6
7 Agenda Item No 6, Public Forum - Chair Johnson opened the Public Forum. There was no
8 comment. Public Forum was closed.
9
10 Agenda Item No 7 Consider: Policy for Projects and Community Matching Fund Requests -
11 Kendall stated her editing suggestions to the policy such as changing the statement of purpose to
12 a more defined sentence and define matching funds in this policy as dollar for dollar cash.
13
14 Yelverton stated that the Board may recommend up to $5,000 and place the item on the SPDC
15 consent agenda and other recommendations will go forward. SPDC can pull items off consent
16 agenda at will. Berman stated the fact that the Board is doing the "leg work" for requests up to
17 $5,000 and SPDC will likely always accept these recommendations.
18
19 Kendall suggested that in item 2, matching funds should be defined as actual or estimated cost if
20 that is what is meant by value. Value is open ended and should be changed.
21
22 Fierce suggested defining the cost or estimated cost to complete the project and add a time frame
23 and Kendall agreed. Fierce expressed his concern about holding money for projects and missing
24 out on other projects that may come up at a later date. Jones suggested a time frame of one year
25 before the Board reviews the project and if the project is not close to completion then something
26 must be wrong. Jones also suggested a review committee. Hamilton stated that the length of
27 time required to complete will be considered and taken into account and further funding may be
28 jeopardized if the project isn't completed in or near the time frame stated, but the leader of the
29 project can speak to the Board. Yelverton expressed a need for flexibility because the time
30 needed for each project varies.
31
32 Lenoir stated that the request form does have a start and completion date so we can review the
33 progression using these dates.
34
35 Hamilton stated that item 8 should include: Length of time required to complete the project will
36 be considered and not meeting indicated dates may jeopardize funding.
37
38 Jones stated that the project should be subject to review from time to time and Beyer said
39 possibly quarterly reviews.
40
Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, May 12,1997 Page 9 of 12
City of Southlake, Texas
"UNOFFICIAL MINUTES NOT APPROVED BY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD"
1 Hamilton stated that the project director should report to the Board if they fall behind their time
2 schedule. Hamilton suggested that the first sentence read "...provide a process for considering
3 park related projects proposed by an individual or organization." Hamilton stated that in item 2
4 ask how the project is to be funded and the applicant should specify their funding mechanism
5 such as matching, outside sources, volunteer, etc. and eliminate estimated costs. Also, remove
6 "value" and add estimated cost to complete the project.
7
8 Motion was made to accept the policy and procedure for matching fund requests as amended.
