At the September 22, 2003 meeting Board members expressed interest in naming a park after former City of Wylie Councilman Joel Scott.

Financial Considerations N/A Other Considerations Article VIII, Section 2 of the City Charter and Section 78-38 of the City Code identify the duties of the Park Board to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council on the planning and development of parks and recreation facilities and the regulations governing their use. Board/Commission Recommendation N/A Staff Recommendations N/A Attachments N/A Pre ared by Parks and Recreation Board Agenda Communication for December 1, 2003 Issue Discuss and consider changes to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance. Background The Parkland Dedication ordinance is the tool by which the City obtains either the dedication of parkland or the payment of fees through the residential development process. The fees paid are applied to the purchase of land for new parks or the improvement of existing parks. As development continues within the City, the Park Board has been working with greater frequency with developers in implementing the Parkland Dedication ordinance. In December 2002, the City's consultant, Carter & Burgess, completed work on the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The plan identified a need for the City to acquire additional parkland and park facilities throughout the next ten years to meet the demands of a growing population. On February 11, 2003 the City Council considered and acted upon approval of a Resolution acknowledging the adoption of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. On October 14, 2003, the City Council held a joint work session with the Park Board. The Council advised the Park Board to investigate and identify potential funding sources for future parkland and park facility acquisition and development. During recent discussions at Park Board meetings, the Board determined that the Parkland Dedication ordinance, which was adopted in 1987 and revised in 1999, needed to be reviewed and updated. The board directed staff at the November 3, 2003 meeting to draft a new Ordinance for their review at the December 1, 2003 meeting. Financial Considerations N/A Other Considerations Article VIII, Section 2 of the City Charter and Section 78-38 of the City Code identify the duties of the Park Board to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council on the planning and development of parks and recreation facilities and the regulations governing their use.
