The meeting was called to order by Margaret Telford in lieu of Bill
Martin who was representing the Park Board at a meeting of the Bond
Steering Committee. The invocation was given by Denise Gasmire.
Robert Brunson moved that the minutes of the October 171 1991
meeting be approved. David O'Briant seconded. The minutes were
approved.
Under Citizen's Requests, Robert Brunson asked when the Meadowmere
Park Trail system would be opened. Joe Moore stated that the Park
Department is still waiting on Corp of Engineers approval. The
Department has been doing some preliminary planning in the closed
section of Oak Grove Park. Money to improve this area will be
included in the budget for next year. Robert Brunson mentioned
that William Infeld was planning to open his private park on
January 1, 1992. However, at the present time the Park Department
is not able to take on additional expenses to expand Meadowmere
services.
Joe Moore reported on the Trail Symposium that he attended. The
City will host the North Central Trails Coalition meeting in
January. Also five volunteers, one scout troop, and the Grapevine
Garden Club mapped out trails in Oak Grove Park last month. People
are now ready to clear trails and put up signs; this will involve
a massive clean-up effort due to the last flood. There will be
three miles of trail with one main trail and several secondary
trails, and it should be opened in March. Joe Moore also reported
that there will be Park Board training on December 13, 1991. Also
the Heritage Park Master Plan will be updated since the removal of
the depot. The Senior Citizen's Center will have a tree planting
ceremony on November 27, 1991, made possible with funds from
coathanger recycling. Additional information was given concerning
the Tree Sharing Program, Christmas tree recycling, and the plans
for the overlay of the tennis courts at Dove park.
Doug Kratz reported on the conclusion of fall sports leagues. The
NET Soccer Tournament will be held this weekend. Basketball
leagues are ready to begin. The Christmas Parade will be held
December 5, 1991. Doug is also looking at ways to increase the use
of the pool for swim lessons, swim team, and recreational swimming
for the next summer. Last summer an estimated 17,000 used Dove
Pool. Also, the State of Texas awarded a grant of $6,000 for tree
inventory and management plan.
Under Action Item A, Doug Kratz discussed implementing either a
user fee, a participant fee, or a non-resident fee. In soccer
there are an estimated 20-25% non-residents, football - an
estimated 15-20%, tennis - over 50%, and baseball - none. After
some discussion, David O'Briant moved that the discussion be tabled
pending more information on fees charged by other surrounding
cities, and the cost per player per sport. Margaret Telford
seconded. The motion was approved.
Under Action Item B, Joe Moore reported that Julian Dyke had
submitted his resignation due to moving out of state. David
O'Briant moved that the Board accept Julian Dyke's resignation.
Denise Gasmire seconded the motion. The motion was approved.
Robert Brunson moved that the meeting be adjourned. David O'Briant
seconded. The meeting was adjourned.
