Pittman Council Member Will Wickman Council Member constituting a quorum, with the following members of the City i Staff: Mark S. Watson City Manager Adrienne C. Leonard Assistant City Attorney Linda Huff City Secretary CALL TO ORDER Mayor Tate called the meeting to order at 7 : 10 p.m. ITEM 1 . PUBLIC HEARING, RELATIVE TO PROHIBITING USAGE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN PUBLIC PARKS ALONG GRAPEVINE LAKE Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open relative to prohibiting the usage and consumption of alcoholic beverages in public parks on U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' ("Corps") property along Grapevine Lake. He stated the purpose of the joint public hearing held by the City and Corps is to receive public comments from the private and commercial sectors regarding the issue of alcoholic beverage usage on Corps property. Mayor Tate acknowledged the good working relationship the City and Corps have enjoyed for many years. He commented the data gathered from concerned citizens and businesses would be used in the ensuing discussions between the City and the Corps to resolve the alcoholic beverage issue as well as other concerns to improve the management and usage of the lake facilities to be in the best interest and welfare of the public in general. 10/09/90 City Manager Mark S. Watson briefly commented on the events that led the City Council and the Corps to conduct the joint public hearing. The Corps had advised the City of their intent to place signs at the Grapevine Lake facilities prohibiting the usage of alcoholic beverages on Corps property. After discussions between City Staff and Corps Staff, it was determined to conduct the joint public hearing. Parks & Recreation Director Mark Mailes reported the City Council approved the Grapevine Lake Master Plan in December, 1989 . The plan provides a 15 year program in which lake parks are to be leased and brought into the City' s park system. Mr. Mailes reported committees are currently studying the initial phase of acquiring Meadowmere Park and the closed section of Oak Grove Park, which is behind the LaPaloma Subdivision. The design phase and eventual implementation of the committees' recommendations may eliminate many of the perceived problems regarding alcoholic beverages. Mr. Mailes reported when compiling the initial Lake Master Plan, it was recognized that each of the Corps parks had unique characteristics; thus a total ban, or a total allowance, may not compliment the Lake Master Plan. In summary, Mr. Mailes stated that to utilize the Lake Master Plan to its optimal benefit, each park site should be studied on its own merit before a blanket ban is enacted. Police Chief Tom Caperton acknowledged past problems at the Corps parks involving overcrowding combined with alcohol. He reviewed statistical information from the past few years related to the Corps Grant Funding for Law Enforcement at Grapevine Lake and stated the Police Department would support a total alcohol ban, if implemented. Allowing alcohol in pavilions but banning consumption in the park areas, would be difficult to enforce. In summary, for an ordinance to be effective, it has to be able to be enforced and there could be considerable problems with manpower shortage and a blanket ban of alcohol in all the Corps parks. Colonel William D. Brown, of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, stated that Grapevine Lake primarily exists to provide flood control, as do the other 23 lakes in the Fort Worth District, with water supply, environmental and recreational purposes being secondary benefits. He stated the public hearing would center on a secondary benefit--that of recreation. The Corps' major responsibility in Texas is to be a provider for recreation because of the approximately 200 parks that are operated at the 24 lakes, not to mention all the State, County and local parks that exist in partnership arrangements at those various lakes. The District' s responsibility is to ensure a safe, healthy, and enjoyable recreation opportunity for people who frequent the lake parks and that they are provided high quality, first rate facilities. 2 10/09/90 Colonel Brown noted that during 1989 and 1990 , flooding caused significant damages to the Grapevine facilities. Congress made funds available for repairs and Grapevine Lake received approximately $1. 1 million. He then reported on the over crowding problems that have existed at the Grapevine facilities noting that the Fort Worth District has had more fatalities in the last few years than other districts. Colonel Brown commented the Corps would like to continue to expand on the partnership that the Corps has enjoyed with the City of Grapevine since the lake was opened in 1952. A long term objective of the Corps of Engineers would be to have all recreational facilities operated by non-federal entities in the Gi future. Mr. Mike Ench, Chief of Recreation/Resource Management Branch, gave a brief history of the Corps ' operations for the past few years relative to the water resource development projects. As more of the developments expanded and more people came to the r' projects, the Corps evolved into the recreation business. Utilization of the Grapevine Lake facilities (water activities, parks, recreational facilities) in the late 1970 ' s was about 1 .5 F million per year, growing to 4-5 million visitors per year by the mid-1980 ' s. Parks and facilities have stayed the same size over the years with attendance in the parks tremendously increasing. In the 1980 ' s the Corps recognized the need to implement controls to bring the parks under a manageable form of operation-- vehicular control, established gate attendants at overnight camp grounds, imposed curfews in day use areas and encouraged stronger Ranger enforcement of existing regulations. Mr. Ench reported there are many areas across the country, that the Corps operates the only parks where alcohol may be allowed in the county or the township. Therefore, Corps managers recognize that the continued existence of unruly behavior, which threatens the safety and well being of other users in Corps park areas, was greatly influenced by the usage of alcohol. As a result of the e observations, the objective of Corps managers was to return public use of the Corps property to safe, non-disruptive recreational usage. Mr. Ench then reviewed the various areas operated by the Corps across the nation that have a complete or partial ban of alcoholic beverages. He stated the Corps ' operational requirements are to provide safe and healthy recreation opportunities under Title 36, which are the Rules and Regulations the Rangers enforce and are the operating regulations for natural resources projects. He then noted the following statements from the Congressional mandate: "It is the policy of the Secretary of }' the Army to provide a safe and healthful recreation opportunity while protecting and enhancing the resources of the Corps projects" . Title 36 also states that the District Engineer may establish and post restrictions on the public use of a project, or a portion of a project, when necessitated by reason of public 3 10/09/90 q health, public safety, maintenance or other reasons in the public interest. He stated that the Congressional mandate was studied and reviewed by the Corps in making the proposal to the City of Grapevine to ban alcoholic beverages on the Corps property. Mr. Ench then reviewed the park areas in the Fort Worth District and their status as to whether alcoholic beverages are allowed, noting that alcohol is not allowed in the Grapevine City parks and park land leased by the City from the Corps . He then reviewed statistics relative to injury/ accidents or fatalities at Grapevine Lake over the last four (4) years, noting a total of 47 incidents from 1987 to 1990 with 16 being alcohol related; 14 were fatalities, with 5 being alcohol related. Indicators pointed to problems that were land based involving usage of alcohol, causing the Corps to consider options available to ensure safety for the general public as well as enforcement officials. The Corps then began focusing on developing long term goals: implement control actions on entrances to Corps areas, regulate traffic, regulate numbers of people in parks, 24-hour gate attendants and try to gain more control over the parks. Mr. Ench stated that in review of the situation, it was determined that a significant portion of the problems on the Corps property at Grapevine Lake is caused by large groups gathering and consuming a great amount of alcohol and becoming unruly. Therefore, the Corps made the proposal to the City that in all Corps operated parks there be implemented a restriction on possession of alcoholic beverages, with the exception of the marinas. Mayor Tate then invited guests present to comment regarding the proposed prohibition of alcoholic beverages on Corps property. 1 . Mr. J. L. Woods, 2747 Manchester Lane, addressed the Council regarding the unfairness of banning alcoholic beverages on the land and in parks, but continuing to allow consumption and usage at the marinas and on the lake. There would be the perception t that there is favoritism to a special class of people who are in t the marinas. A ban on a selective basis would not be fair. 2. Mr. Chet Foraker, 2810 Scarborough Court, expressed his support for the proposed action by the Corps. It has been clearly identified that to have a safe and healthy environment does not involve alcohol in any way. He commended all for their time and effort they are giving to this matter and requested a total elimination of alcohol use in the whole area. 3 . Mr. Neal Gremminger, 3026 Mercury Drive, expressed his support of the Corps ' position, but recommended a prohibition of alcohol on the lake as well as the marinas and the launch areas. 4. Mr. Curt Dennis, 2304 Mockingbird, stated he did not have a problem with the way the situation is currently at Grapevine Lake, but if pressed for a decision, he would request a total ban 4 10/09/90 on alcoholic beverages on both land and water. He stated he would like to have the Lake Master Plan Committee work with the Corps to develop a total plan for the lake area parks. Also he recommended that convenience store operators and the concessionnaires of Grapevine Lake not be involved in the alcohol ban decision. He requested comments from the Grapevine Sailing Club be considered regarding safety on the lake. 5. Mr. Richard Grant, 1846 Anglers Plaza, submitted a letter to s the Council to be read into the record: ***************************************************************** October 8 , 1990 Grapevine City Council U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Grapevine, Texas 76051 E i To Whom It May Concern: We have been residents of Grapevine (Silver Lake Area) for twenty-one years. We have raised six children in the Grapevine School District. Five of them currently live in this area with six grandchildren that will attend local schools. We are in favor of promoting a "family atmosphere" at the lake parks and on Lake Grapevine. It is our sincere belief that this can be furthered by banning alcohol from the parks and on the Lake. It would not accomplish the desired results by allowing boats to anchor three feet off shore or at boat docks while people get drunk and disorderly and only be able to take action in the park areas. One concern is the effect a ban would have on lake visitation. We believe it would attract more good people who want to be guaranteed not being badgered or bullied or attacked by those under the influence. Just as we take our business to restaurants that provide adequate non-smoking segregation so will banning alcohol attract good family campers. We are constantly having to pick up beer cans and bottles that are discarded by drinking park visitors on or near our property. The police have had to be called numerous time to squash gang riots and disturbances that are substance oriented. Over the years we have --� been involved in calling 911 for various emergencies (including drownings that were alcohol related) . If 5 i 10/09/90 each of the council members had to sit on a shoreline and watch friends and family members as they drag for a body you would I am sure vote for a ban. Lets promote. . .Grapevine. . .a family community! ! ! Count on it! ! ! Respectfully submitted, Mr. & Mrs. G. Richard Grant 1846 Anglers ***************************************************************** 6 . Mr. Dave Wilkins, 9124 Caddo Lane, Flower Mound, expressed support of the Corps ' ban of alcohol in the parks to assist in reducing the rowdiness and allow the parks to return to family usage. He commended Mr. Ayers, Reservoir Manager, for the improvements to the quality of the lake over the past few years. 7 . Mr. Mike Ross, 3214 Salinas Court, Irving, owner of the PDQ' s in Grapevine, stated that if there is a ban on alcohol beverages at the lake, it should be a total ban. He questioned how the total ban would be enforced and questioned whether there would be i enough money in the budget to provide the manpower to enforce the ban. 8 . Mr. Robert Murphy, 2925 Kimball Road, stated his support of banning alcohol at the parks to return the parks to the families and people of Grapevine thus eliminating the unruly crowds. 9 . Mr. Eddie Brewer, 2050 Wedgewood, stated his approval of the r Corps proposed ban of alcohol at the parks surrounding Grapevine Lake. He commented all laws are based on someone ' s idea of morality but the issue of alcohol at the parks is based on the issue of safety. Families should be able to enjoy the parks without fear of people who consume too much alcohol at the parks. He expressed hope that the final decision regarding the alcohol ban would be based on more than economics as has been the Council ' s decision on the proposed Runway 16/34 West. Safety has to be a more urgent consideration than economics. He urged the Council to support the Corps' proposed policy, if only for one year. 10 . Mr. Rick McPherson, owner of Yates Corner Grocery, stated he was not opposed to a ban on alcohol at Grapevine Lake, but that it should not be a selective banning. He commented that if the problem is controlled in certain areas, the crowds will only move to another area of the lake. 11. Mr. Don Hackbart, Grapevine Mini-Center, 503 West Northwest Highway, questioned the statistics provided by the Corps as to whether any of the statistics involved drug related incidents as i 6 r s f 10/09/90 s well as alcohol. He stated he was not against the ban of alcoholic beverages at Grapevine Lake and requested the issue be studied. 12. Dr. Terry Wilson, 2906 Kimberly Drive, expressed his support of a total ban of alcoholic beverages at Grapevine Lake and that the lake be returned to family outings. 13 . Mr. Brad Jack, 5020 Timber View, Flower Mound, mentioned various recreational activities that can be enjoyed at the lake without involving alcohol; therefore, he supports the proposed alcohol ban by the Corps. 14. Ms. Dovie Pilney, 1366 Tipperary, stated her support of the Corps ' proposed ban on alcohol at the lake parks and the marinas. f 15. Mr. Dennis Wemp, 3107 Mustang Drive, stated his support of a total ban of alcoholic beverages on Grapevine Lake and in the park areas. 16. Mr. Brian Ross, 3445 Paint Brush Lane, Bedford (affiliated with the PDQ' s in Grapevine) , stated his concern that people have expressed their thoughts as to how things used to be at the lake. He questioned whether anyone would leave their home unlocked nowadays as they would have years ago and voiced his opinion as to the problems of the current day and age in which we live. Alcohol has been around since prohibition, and he doesn' t think ` that is the problem, but it is the community as a whole. He stated a stronger show of force at the parks and on the lake would allow people to enjoy alcohol but not abuse it or the people in the parks. Mr. Ross believes the emphasis should be enforcement of the current laws on the lake as well as on the shore. City Secretary Linda Huff read the following letters into the record. f October 4 , 1990 k City of Grapevine City Secretary' s Office P. O. Box 729 Grapevine, TX 76051 k As a tax payer and resident of Grapevine, I strongly r protest the usage and consumption of alcoholic Y beverages in public parks on U. S. Corps of Engineers property along Grapevine Lake. I have lived near the 4 Grapevine Lake for the past eight years. I have seen the litter of beer cans and whisky bottles and other F multitudes of trash until I am completely disgusted. f 7 i 10/09/90 The lake is a beautiful place to live and visit, but I sure hate to take visitors around the shore line. I am ashamed. Alcohol and drinking attract the undesirables. The business people want the almighty dollar, but let them face a drunk person in one these parks. This might make them think. Lets make the parks safe for the REAL PEOPLE. Thank you for reading my comments. C. E. Smith 3320 Lakeridge Grapevine, TX 76051 ***************************************************************** i October 8 , 1990 City of Grapevine City Secretary i Subject: Corp of Engineers Proposal of not allowing alcohol in lake parks. My wife, Jane, and I are interested in this issue both as local business people and as homeowners living near lake park. We think that the Corps have the right idea. There is k no reason for alcohol in the parks, except to fill the pockets of convenience store owners. We realize that these people have a lot of political influence, but, this is not the issue. The issue is the disturbance of the tranquility of the lake parks. The people that come to the lake to "party" (get drunk) add nothing to the safety and enjoyment of these parks. These are the people that cause the police calls, the ambulance calls, the property destruction and harassment of family gatherings. Alcohol is a negative, I would support positive things, such as hiking and jogging trails, horse paths, boat a ramps , etc. The only reason for the backers of alcohol a is monetary and this is not good enough. We are also against more "pay" parks, this is more control that we don' t need and is discriminatory against poor people that come to the lake for } b 5 tl 8 d 10/09/90 recreation because it is free. These lake parks are federal government owned, this means they should be available to anyone for recreation. Thank you for this opportunity to voice our opinion. Sincerely, John and Jane Weil 2929 Kimball Road October 1 , 1990 Mr. Mike Ayers { Corps of Engineers 110 Fairway Drive Grapevine, Texas 76051 Dear Mr. Ayers: The banning of alcohol in Corps of Engineer parks is very beneficial for citizens and adjoining property owners. The behavior and noise at Rock Ledge Park has changed ` noticeably for the better since this restriction has been in effect. Since we are adjacent to the park, we can observe the effect easily. The average citizen can enjoy the park more because a few don't dominate the many with bad behavior or loud noise. We certainly back up your policy decision for the banning of alcoholic beverages on Corps of Engineer property. Sincerely, Peter P. Stewart Chairman The Stewart Company f ***************************************************************** There were two petitions submitted to the City Secretary' s Office containing 155 signatures expressing opposition to any proposed ` alcoholic beverage ban for Grapevine Lake and associated public parks as proposed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. t Council member Spencer, seconded by Council Member Pittman, made a motion to close the public hearing. The motion prevailed by the following vote: c t 9 t i 10/09/90 1 Ayes: Tate, Ware, Spencer, Wilbanks, TRaverse, Pittman & Wickman Nays: None Council discussion ensued relative to the enforcement ability of a total ban of alcoholic beverages at the lake parks and the effect it would have on Corps ' properties at the lake that currently have alcoholic beverage permits. Assistant City Attorney Adrienne Leonard stated that the permits would have to be reviewed if a total ban of alcoholic beverages was imposed at the lake, including the marinas. She stated areas that are leased, either to concessionnaires or to the City, are required to comply with the Corps ' regulations and all the areas would have to be in compliance with any changes that are imposed by new Corps or City regulations/ordinances. Council Member Spencer briefly reviewed the responsibilities of the Lake Grapevine Committee, formed in 1985, that consisted of the Police Chief, the Parks & Recreation Director and herself. She stated that during the course of meetings with Corps' representative, it was communicated that the Corps would like the 4 City of Grapevine to develop a Lake Master Plan to inform the Corps of the City' s intentions for use and development of the lake parks. Also one of the charges to the Committee, was to address the crowds and rowdienss in the park areas which the Police Department has assisted in regaining some control. The committee determined that control over the leased areas would move crowds and their associated problems from one area to another insted of totally addressing the problem. Recently, when the Corps place alcohol prohibition signs in Rockledge Park (without first notifying the City' s Police Deparmtne) , the crowds relocated to Silver Lake Park, creating an enforcement problem for the City' s Police force. The intention of the Corps' prohibition was good, but there needs to more communication and coordination for enforcement abilities. Council Member Wilbanks commented the intent of the City has been communicated to the Corps (through the Lake Master Plan) to try to lease, develop and use the Corps ' properties within the city limits of Grapevine to make the recreational areas suitable for citizens. During the committee review process of the areas to be leased by the City, certain areas could be looked at to be fee related, alcohol prohibition in recreational areas, each area could be looked at for its own merits. He stated that he was not sure that a ban on the land surrounding the lake is the solution, marina' s should be considered also. The Lake Master Plan Committee could make recommendations to the Park & Recreation Board, the City Council and work with the Corps in developing a plan for the recreational areas that would be suitable to all. Council Member Wickman commented there are current laws in Texas that govern disorderly conduct, driving while intoxicated, and malicious mischief. Over the last 15 years, Grapevine Lake has 3 10 9 g� 3 10/09/90 attracted more people and the number of incidents have declined ' (in his opinion) . He stated that he did not believe a total ban of alcoholic beverages (at this time) in the parks is prudent, as it is not enforceable. But that limited access is the key to the solution in the parks and that a total ban of alcohol on the water should be implemented. Council Member Traverse stated that the recommendations of the Parks & Recreation Board and the Lake Master Plan Committee (as to the future of the parks) could help in creating a better atmosphere in the parks. He commented that he is not for the ban of alcoholic beverages as proposed by the Corps and could not support the proposal as it is not fair to allow sales/usage in one area and not others, and the enforcement of the ban would be very difficult. He favored fee structures for City leased parks and expressed the need for additional police protection to control crowds. Mayor Pro Tem Ware stated that the only ban that makes any sense s, would be a total ban of alcoholic beverages but that would not be the best solution to the problem. Enforcement efforts should be against the misuse of alcohol, instead of the total use of alcohol. The total ban would penalize everyone to eliminate ' those that cause problems in the parks. If alcoholic beverages are allowed on the water, the people utilizing the parks would feel deprived of something that those that could afford boats would not be denied. The City was voted wet years ago to allow the sale and use of alcohol within the city limits and he does not want to take that away from the people on a "piece meal" basis. Council Member Pittman commented that crowds are the biggest problem on the lake and believes the City should concentrate on . controlling the crowds through cooperation with the Corps. He stated a total ban of alcoholic beverages would be the only solution to the problems, but that he was not convinced that it is enforceable. He also stated he has a problem discriminating between allowing alcohol at the marinas and prohibiting alcohol ' for the people picnicking on shore. He stated a solution could ` be developed with the Lake Master Plan through communication with the Corps. .. In summary, Colonel Brown commented that crowd control problems have been focused on the land based parks and noted there are existing statutes that govern boating while intoxicated, but that enforcement is also an issue on the water. He stated the objective of the Corps is to provide a safe, healthy recreation environment, such as the Grapevine Lake Master Plan is trying to accomplish. He stated (personally) that the people who have spoken during the public hearing recognize the very difficult issue and that a total ban of alcoholic beverages connotates the greatest fairness to a greater number of people, but is somewhat E t 11 � 10/09/90 more difficult in implementation. He acknowledged that if the partial ban is implemented the problems would be relocated to another park, unless a total ban is implemented which would then move the problem to another city and another lake. Mayor Tate noted the purpose of the public hearing was to give all interested parties an opportunity to record their statements regarding the proposed alcohol ban for the parties in the position to establish policies for Grapevine Lake. The City and the Corps have been seeking improvement for some time in the interaction between the public and the neighborhoods around the lake. The goals of the City and Corps are the same--safe, wholesome environment, not only around the lake, but for the people who utilize the lake facilities. Mayor Tate reiterated some of the possibilities mentioned during the public hearing to achieve the above mentioned goal: (1) partial alcoholic beverage ban as proposed, (2) total alcoholic beverage ban and (3) total alcoholic beverage ban, except in certain controlled areas. The underlying criteria to the success of any of the above mentioned proposals is enforceability and the enforcement would be different depending on which alternative was chosen. The cost and details of the enforceability would have to be coordinated with the Corps. He stated that the issue of alcoholic beverages was not the only issue to be considered in determining the best solution to improve the quality of life and enjoyment of the lake. Crowds are an area of concern at the lake, which could possibly be controlled by limited access to the lake parks, and possibly other issues of concern could be considered to improve the use of the lake facilities. Mayor Tate commented the Corps would analyze the statements from the public hearing in view of the Corps ' proposal for a total alcohol ban at Grapevine Lake. He then recommended the City Council consider forming a Grapevine Lake Committee to formulate proposals to the Corps and work with the Corps to study issues related to the development and usage of Corps property on Grapevine Lake. The committee should consist of the liaison to the Corps, liaison to the Parks & Recreation Board, liaison to the Golf Advisory Board, City Manager, Police Chief, Parks & Recreation Director and a member of the City Attorney' s office. It was the consensus of the City Council to place an item on the next City Council agenda to consider forming the liaison committee. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Pro Tem Ware made a motion at 9 :00 p.m. to adjourn the special meeting. Council Member Pittman offered a second to the motion which prevailed by the following vote: 12 10/09/90 Ayes: Tate, Ware, Spencer, Wilbanks, Traverse, Pittman & Wickman Nays: None PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS on this the 6th day of November 1990 .
