Board Discussion
Board member Frankie Delgado stated that he had some concerns in splitting the greenbelt area currently in the
subdivision. Mr.Delgado stated that creating a road at the proposed location would eliminate the only greenbelt
area that allows for children to access the park without traffic. Mr.Verschoyle proposed the idea of continuing the
trail underneath the road and stated that he would research to see if the idea was feasible. Mr.Verschoyle stated
that the proposal allowed for pedestrian walkways on the bridge. Board Chairman Daniel Chesnut inquired about
existing sidewalks and questioned if new sidewalks would have to be created. Mr.Verschoyle stated that new
sidewalks would probably have to be created but the project would help to provide continuity for existing trails.
Chairman Chesnut asked if the proposed connection within the subdivision was necessary. Mr.Verschoyle stated
that a traffic study had been performed and indicated the additional road was not necessary. Mr.Verschoyle
explained that the proposal was created to address the concerns of residents and help to lighten the load of traffic
on existing streets.
4. Park Memorial Policy.
Staff Comments
Assistant Parks Superintendent Robert Diaz provided the Board with information he obtained from other cities
regarding their park memorial policies. Mr. Diaz requested the Board evaluate the current policy and provide input
as to what requirements they would like to establish. Public Services Director Mike Sferra discussed the possible
need to set written qualifications within the policy.
Board Discussion
Board member Ronnie Rogers expressed his concern in creating a policy with specific stipulations. It was a
consensus of the Board that it was not necessary to expand upon the current memorial policy. The Board was in
agreement that the Parks Superintendent review memorials.
5. "No golfing"ordinance in the parks.
Staff Comments
Assistant Parks Superintendent Robert Diaz requested input from the Board regarding implementing an ordinance
to prohibit golfing in the parks.
Board Discussion
Chairman Chesnut stated that he was in support of the ordinance but felt provisions should be made to enforce any
current or future ordinances adopted. Parks Superintendent Bill Nelson stated that some ordinances might be
difficult to enforce. Assistant Parks Superintendent Robert Diaz discussed the possible difficulty of issuing
citations for something that may be considered a subjective call. Public Services Director Mike Sferra suggested
that staff research to evaluate the policies of other cities regarding field conditions. Mr. Nelson discussed the
possibility of implementing a new city staff position to enforce field policies. Mr. Diaz stated that he would
collect information and present it to the Board.
6. League sanctioning guidelines.
Staff Comments
Assistant Parks Superintendent Robert Diaz requested input from the Board regarding creation of guidelines to
sanction athletic leagues.
Board Discussion
Board member Ronnie Rogers expressed concern that there are no current guidelines established for the leagues.
Mr. Rogers stated that he would provide staff with a list of requirements that he would like to see implemented.
Chairman Chesnut discussed the idea of requiring a representative from each league work specifically with the city
to ensure requirements have been satisfied.

the Wells property.
Board member David Willey suggested the Board tour the city. Public Services Director Mike Sferra encouraged
the Board to determine when they would like to tour and expressed his support of the idea.
Chairman Chesnut suggested that developers present letters to the Board regarding potential use of areas within
easements in an effort to provide further explanations to Council upon the Boards' acceptance/denial of parkland

ARTICLE IV. PARKLAND DEDICATION
Sec.78-71. Purpose of article.
(a) This article is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of municipal, (Deleted:neighborhood
parks as a function of subdivision development in the city. This article is enacted in
accordance with the home rule powers of the city, granted under the state
constitution, and the statutes of the state including, but not by way of limitation,
V.T.C.A., Local Government Code § 54.004, and ch. 212. It is hereby declared by
the city council that recreational areas in the form of municipal parks are (Deleted:neighborhood
necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to
provide for municipal parks is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure (Deleted:neighborhood
for planning and developing property or subdivision in the city, whether such
development consists of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and
remodeling of structures on existing residential property.
(b) Municipal parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor (Deleted:Neighborhood
recreational opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the
residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the parks and
recreation department and shown on the official parks and recreation map for the
city shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a
convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of
I municipal,parks should be borne by the ultimate residential property owners who, (Deleted:neighborhood
by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary
beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, this article is adopted to effect the
purposes stated.
(Ord. No. 87-15, § 1, 1-27-1987; Code 1991, ch. 1, §9.01; Code 1997, §78-106)
Sec.78-72. Dedication procedures.
(a) Whenever a final plat is filed on record with the county clerk of Collin, Dallas
or Rockwall County for development of a residential area in accordance with the
planning and zoning ordinances of the city, such plat shall contain a clear fee
simple dedication of an area of land to the city for park purposes, which area shall
equal five acres for each 100 proposed dwelling units.
(b) The city council declares that development of an area smaller than five
acres for public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 100 units are
proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer may,be required to pay the (Deleted:shall
applicable cash in lieu of land amount provided by section 78-73(c), rather than to
dedicate any land area. No plat showing a dedication for park purposes of less
than five acres shall be approved unless such plat and dedication is recommended
for approval by the city parks and recreation board and subsequently approved by
the city council.
(c) In all other instances, the city shall have the right to accept the dedication
for approval on the final plat, or to refuse the dedication, after consideration of the
recommendation of the planning and zoning commission and the parks and
recreation board, and to require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount
provided by section 78-73(c), if the city determines that sufficient park area is
already in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the
recreation potential for that zone would be better served by expanding or
improving existing parks.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 2, 1-13-2004)
Sec.78-73. Money in lieu of land.
(a) Subject to approval of the city council, a land owner responsible for
dedication under this article may elect to meet the requirements of section 78-72,
in whole or in part, by a fee payment in lieu of land, in the amount set forth in
subsection (c) of this section. Such payment in lieu of land shall be made at or
prior to the time of final plat approval. Nonpayment of fee shall constitute grounds
sufficient to deny approval of proposed plat.
(b) The city may, from time to time, decide to purchase land for parks in or near
the area of actual or potential development. If the city does purchase park land in
a park zone, subsequent park land dedications for that zone may be required tq be (Deleted:shall
in cash only, and calculated to reimburse the city's actual cost of acquisition and
development of such land for parks. The fee amount shall be set out in the fee
schedule in appendix C to this Code. Once the city has been reimbursed entirely
for all such park land within a park zone, this section shall cease to apply, and the
other subsections shall again be applicable.
(c) To the extent that subsection (b) of this section is not applicable, the
dedication requirement shall be met by a payment of cash, in lieu of dedication of
land, at a per acre price set from time to time by resolution by the city council,
sufficient to acquire land and provide for adjacent streets and utilities for a
municipal park to serve the park zone in which such development is located or to [Deleted:neighborhood
improve or expand existing park land in the park zone. Unless changed by the city
council, such per acre price shall be based on a fee as set out in the fee schedule
located in appendix C to this Code. Cash payments may be used only for
acquisition or improvement of a neighborhood park located within the same zone
as the development, or, upon recommendation of the park board and approval of
the city council, funds from any and all park zones may be combined for special
purposes with or without the option to reimburse the contributing zones.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, §3, 1-13-2004)
Sec.78-74. Comprehensive plan considerations.
The city shall create and maintain a master park plan for the city and its
extraterritorial jurisdiction. The city shall further designate the size of the parks and
the zones which are to be supportive of these parks. Dedication of park land shall
be in accordance with the master plan. The city will determine, the park location
based on land suitability. This plan may be, from time to time, updated and
amended at the pleasure of the approving authorities and as the review of
proposed plats for development within those zones.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, §4, 1-13-2004)
Sec.78-75. Park acquisition and improvement fund; right to refund.
(a) There is hereby established a special fund for the deposit of all sums paid
in lieu of land dedication under this article or any preceding article or any
preceding ordinance, which fund shall be known as the park acquisition and
improvement fund. Such fund may be subdivided to create as many separate
funds as become necessary in order to ensure that all funds are separated by park
zone and spent wholly and completely within such park zone. Upon
recommendation of the park board and approval of the city council, funds from any
and all park zones may be combined for special purposes. Each fund shall be
separately audited in the annual audit of the city and shall be available for public
review.
(b) The city shall account for all sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this
article with reference to individual plats involved. Any funds paid for such purposes
must be expended by the city within five years from the date received by the city
for acquisition or development of a municipa4park. Such funds shall be considered (Deleted:neighborhood
to be spent on a first in, first out basis. If not so expended, the owners of the
property, on the last day of such period, shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of
such sum computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of such
property must request such refund within one year of entitlement, in writing, or
such right shall be barred.
(c) When residential developments occur in phases, all phases of the
development shall meet applicable dedication requirements. If land dedication is to
occur in a latter phase of the overall development, the dedication requirement for
the initial phases shall be met by placing funds into an escrow account as directed
by the city upon acceptance of each phase by the city. When the actual land
dedication occurs, the escrowed funds plus interest shall be returned to the
depositor. The depositor must request such refund within one year of entitlement,
in writing, or such right shall be barred. If land dedication does not occur within five
years of completion of the initial phase of the overall development, the escrowed
funds plus interest shall be forfeited by the depositor and the funds shall become
the property of the city.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 5, 1-13-2004)
Sec.78-76. Additional requirements.
(a) Any land dedicated to the city under this article must be suitable for park
and recreation uses. The following characteristics of a proposed area are
generally unsuitable:
(1) Any area primarily located in the 100-year floodplain.
(2) Any areas of unusual topography or slope which renders same unusable for
organized recreational activities.
Such characteristics of a park land dedication area may be grounds for refusal of
any preliminary plat. The city parks and recreation board shall consider the
usability of any proposed dedications of land in the 100-year floodplain or in any
easement on a case-by-case basis. The board's recommendation to accept or
deny the proposed dedication shall be forwarded to the city council with supporting
justification explaining the recommendation.
(b) Land that is deemed to be unsuitable by the city parks and recreation board
as listed in subsection (a) of this section may be accepted by the city council,
provided that suitable land in the proper amount is dedicated which is contiguous
with the unsuitable land.
(c) Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is
constructed in accordance with city engineering standards, and if no significant
area of the park is cut off from access by such channel.
(d) Each park must have ready access to a public street.
(e) Unless provided otherwise in this section, an action by the city shall be by
the city council, after consideration of the recommendations of the planning and
zoning commission and the parks and recreation board and its recommendation to
the city council.
(Ord. No. 87-15, § 6, 1-27-1987; Code 1991, ch. 1, § 9.06(a)—(e); Code 1997, §
78-111)
Sec.78-77. Minimum park improvements.
In cases where land dedication is chosen, the following minimum criteria must be
adhered to by the developer, at the developer expense, prior to acceptance of the

SUMMARY:
"` Steven Salinas approached staff following the first "Battle of the Bands" concert that was held at the BP
Community Center about having another concert in May. Steven would be setting up the concert similar to how
Jason Riddings set up the April show. Steven wants to charge a fee to enter the community center to
watch the concert and he would also want to charge the bands participating. The vendor would also like to sell
band merchandise i.e. cd's and t-shirts. Revenue generated would pay for use of the facility, rental of equipment,
and prizes for participants. Staff recommends that in addition to our staff, an off-duty police officer is on site
during the concert. This cost would need to be figured into Steven's overall costs. The last concert was well
attended and went off without any problems.

AGENDA SUBJECT:
Discussion Item-League Sanctioning guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
N/a
SUMMARY:
Staff needs input from the Board in regards to compiling a set of guidelines that would allow the Parks and
Recreation Department to sanction athletic leagues. Currently there is no criteria set forth by the City for leagues
operating in the City. The reason this has become an issue is the Wylie I.S.D. is now requiring all leagues
requsting use of school facilities to be sanctioned by the City in order to receive the lower building usage fees.
Staff has been contacted by the Wylie Baseball Association, Wylie Volleyball Association, Wylie Youth Football
and Wylie Basketball Association in regards to the Wylie I.S.D.'s new policies. The following are areas staff
feels needs to be addressed in the sanctioning guidelines: league operations (mission statement), list of board
members, contact information, insurance requirements, non-profit status, safety instruction for coach's, and
background checks for league coach's and officials. With some input and direction from the Board, staff will
write the guidelines and then bring it back for the Board to approve.
Staff has researched rules of other cities in the state and also received input from Parks and Recreation Board
Member Ronnie Rogers, who is currently on the Wylie Baseball Association Board. The attached policy is to be
reviewed by the Board and input provided to staff. Staff would like to add this policy to the current Athletic
Field Policy after it is completed.
