MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF, THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
G�
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2004
SUBJECT: CORPS PROPERTY LEASE
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council Sub -Committee and staff recommend the City Council approve the
following documents relating to the parkland that the City of Grapevine is currently
leasing from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Copies of the documents are attached.
Document 1 25 year Lease agreements for Meadowmere Park, Oak Grove Park and
Silver Lake Park
Document 2 Resolution approving the Five-year Development Plans for Meadowmere
Park, Oak Grove Park and Silver Lake Park
Document 3 Resolution approving Guiding Principles for the Management of the
improvements outlined in the five-year development plan
BACKGROUND:
In the summer of 2002, officials from the Corps of Engineers approached City staff to
ask the City to consider taking over management of approximately 770 acres of parkland
on Lake Grapevine. Corps officials indicated that funds were not available for the Corps
to continue the maintenance of the property. The lease included 188 acres at
Meadowmere Park, 453 acres at Oak Grove Park and 129 acres at Silver Lake Park.
Included in the lease are 10 boat ramps, 89 picnic sites, one large picnic pavilion,
several restroom facilities, playgrounds and a campground with 61 camping sites.
The City Council met for a Workshop on October 14, 2002 to discuss the proposed
lease. At that meeting, Council Members expressed concerns over how the City could
maintain such a large amount of park acreage with only the revenue from the boat
ramps and campground, especially during the tough economic times. The City Council
directed staff to conduct a revenue -generating feasibility study on the property to see
what types of improvements the City Council could consider that would generate
revenue to maintain the new park land. At the meeting, Council Members Sharron
Spencer, Ted Ware and C. Shane Wilbanks agreed to serve on a Council Corps Sub -
Committee to work with staff on the feasibility study.
September 13, 2004 (3:36PM)
,. Since the October 14, 2002 meeting, staff has worked closely with the Council Sub -
Committee and our consultant, Carter & Burgess, on putting together a five-year
development plan for the lake parks that would have minimal impact on neighborhoods
and that would generate the revenue needed to maintain the new park land.
The five-year development plan was presented at a public meeting held on June 28,
2004 at the Grapevine Convention Center. City Manager Roger Nelson presented the
plan and invited citizens to stop at any or all of the nine stations throughout the room to
ask questions and make comments. Citizens were encouraged to submit written
comments to the City. Since the June 28th meeting, staff received comments from a
total of 66 citizens. All the comments received during the 30 day comment eriod were
catalogued and sent back to citizens either by e-mail or by mail on August 16 h.
Staff met with the Council Corps Sub -Committee on August 27, 2004 to discuss citizen
input, guiding principles for the management of the lake parks and the five-year
development plan. Members of the Council Corps Sub -Committee supported the five-
year development plan as was presented at the June 28th public meeting and supported
the guiding principles for the management of the lake parks that are in resolution form
attached to this memo.
The lease with the Corps of Engineers will be for 25 years for each of the three areas.
Any major modifications to the original lease will allow the city to renew the 25 year
lease at any given time. Any revenues generated from one lease are allowed to be used
on one of the other leases. All funds generated from the Corps of Engineer property
must be used back on Corps of Engineer property.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council Corps Sub -Committee and staff recommend the City Council approve
the 25 year lease of the Corps parkland, the five-year development plan and the guiding
principles for the improvements outlined in the five-year development plan.
