MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER ��
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2008
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP — PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION AND
MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS AT THE OAK GROVE
SOCCER COMPLEX
Staff will brief the City Council on Construction Cost Estimates for parking lots within the
City.
1. First United Methodist Church Lot on Ball Street. A letter from Pastor Diehm is
attached. This lot would be used jointly by the community for events at Heritage Park, the
Botanical Gardens, Nash Farm and by the church for Sunday service overflow parking
similar to the way the lot behind Willhoite's is now used. As the pastor's letter states, the
Church is willing to put up the land and $100,000 for the construction of the lot and the
connection across the creek.
2. Central Business District (CBD) Lot — Northwest corner Barton Street and Worth
Street. This lot is behind the new Dino's Steakhouse and would be improved using funds
from the CVB-Festival Account. This lot would be used as the future festival operation's
center and also will provide much needed additional parking for downtown the remainder
of the year. In addition, this lot will also provide required parking for Dino's.
3.Oak Grove Park Soccer Field parking lot, restroom and playground improvements paid
for from the Quality of Life Fund.
Concept drawings have been prepared by our Public Works Department showing these
proposed improvements along with cost estimates and will be presented to Council during
the Workshop.

Dear Bruno,
As we have previously discussed, First United Methodist Church is interested in a
parking lot project with the city of Grapevine. What the Church proposes is:
- The church would provide the land on its Ball Street property which is adjacent to
the Botanical Gardens for the construction of the parking lot. The parking lot
would have driving access to Ball Street and the church's Schribner Street parking
lot. The church would enter a long term lease agreement with the city such as we
have with the Wilhoite parking lot. The city would have use of the parking lot for
activities at the Botanical Gaxdens,Nash Farm, and city festivals.
- In addition to providing the land,the church would provide up to $100,000.

Thank you,
Ken Diehm
Senior Pastor
