Call to Order. President King called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. A quorum was present. Item 2.0. Consideration and approval of the proposed final draft of the 413 Master Plan. On the Introduction page, Sue Parks should not be listed as a citizen, she is on the Library Board and she's not a CDC member.' Pam Nelson, Donna Baggett and Joan Sveinsson do not belong in the Active CDC list of CDC members. Vicki suggested replacing "citizen" with member and people's titles should be added - secretary, treasurer, vice president etc. Pamela Kane was past secretary and Tony Johnston should be listed as City Finance Director. Pam Nelson needs to be removed from Active CDC members. In the last sentence before Executive Summary, change the word "in" to "is". Pages should be numbered after changes are made. In Executive Summary - Page 1 Short Term Projects include - that listing for irrigation improvement doesn't match the proposed projects in the back. Under Expansion of Irrigation, the Rec. Center is listed instead of Perryman Park. We will go with Priority of Projects in Executive Summary with Perryman. Under Information Gathering in the second sentence, change the word "opening" to "open" and the word "three" to "two". Next Page - The phrase in bold type should read - "Long term projects include the following elements to Community Complex". We should also add hike/bike trails after support buildings. Next Page The first sentence of the first paragraph should read - The CDC put in place a strategy that would set aside approximately $100,000 for short-term projects each year. In the third paragraph the last sentence should read - This will allow the Park Master Plan document to reflect the funding decisions of the CDC. Flow Charts - On the Goals page - add CDC before Goals On the Masker Plan page - the first sentence should read - Develop Master Plan that makes The Colony a well-rounded community. The last sentence should read - Develop flexibility in the Master Plan to adjust to future needs. Section I Phases of Study - It looks like it is missing a section. The brown page is very confusing, It should have bullets on the information gathering page - the blue pages will be public meetings, telephone survey, aquatic center audit and review status of all parks. The public meeting page should have bigger font, be centered and lowered on the page. Item # 2 - second sentence should read - The second form of open meeting was posted meetings. The Aquatic Center Audit - Pam said the staff did not agree with the numbers - the immediate repair costs. Dwayne said when the presentation is made, it can be a point of discussion. All of this is included because it is a part of the information gathering process. The document on the aquatic center audit is an overview of the key findings; it's not the whole document. We should leave this as is. Review Status of all Parks - The first sentence should read - The consultant team and staff members conducted an on site review of all parks. Recommendations for General Park Improvements - Lions Club, Augusta and Perryman are not checked for irrigation and they should be. Preliminary Cost Estimates - Lists were approved by the Park Board last week. Other Sources of Funding - Put under one heading - City Funding and in CO Bonds, Park Dedication Fees, Also do a grant heading - TPWD and NTSA. Section B Master Plan Development - Brown page needs to be fixed. Phasing Description of Master Plan - Community Complex Park page - Change the order of the list to be more in line with the phases. Put Phase I projects at the top of the list and work down. Inline hockey, hike/bike trails and maintenance building should be at the top. In the third paragraph, the first sentence - the first sentence should be deleted. Pam said we need to reference the aquatic facility as indoor and outdoor and the library needs to be referenced. Change the name of the Community Recreation Center for the renovation of the former library to Community Conference Center, At the very top, the first sentence should read - Community Complex Park is located north of 121 and east of Blair Oaks. Paige Rd. also divides the park, 35 acres are to the east of Paige Rd. Colony Community Park Phase I - Dwayne has figured in the cost of doing grade work on the fields left out of the first phase phase because it is more cost effective to do that. We may have to remove things from the list to get down to the 6.5 million range. We also need to know what all is included in the earthwork, utilities and contingencies that he has stated. We had figured $1,000,000 for infrastructure costs. Cost Estimate Components - Item # 3 goes to #1, 91 goes to #2, and #2 goes to #3. Breakout of Recreation Center - This whole section needs to be reworked. Preliminary Cost Estimate The Colony Park System - In the aquatic part - change to sprayground activity area. Change the heading to Improvements Needed The Colony Park System and remove the costs and show only the list. Then go back and put the cost estimate for that same list in the second section. Estimated Operational Cost of Components - The consultants will have to justify these figures; we may need to add @ today's figures. Priority of Projects- First Page - basis of projects - we already put Perryman Park instead of Rec. Center. Pam will clarify with Tony the amount of month's proceeds $100,000. Long Term Projects - The amounts don't match. List as Funds Available. Develop Conceptual Master Plan- The lake and library are colored, they should not be. Preliminary Project Schedule - The spacing on the graphs needs to be changed; the scales are not good. The last section will be the Updated Parks Master Plan. All the updates to the Parks Master Plan will be put into one document. Some of the maps had to be changed, some items were deleted and we are changing some wording. Sue made a motion to approve the Master Plan subject to the changes discussed. Vicki seconded the motion. All members voted to approve the Master Plan subject to changes. Motion carried.
