III. Recommendation to Council on City Location for Purposed Recreation Center.
There was a discussion on the Joint Use of the Junior High School on Leander Road with
GISD. This location was rejected because of limited daytime use, gym facilities are not
available at all during the school year, this facility limits the age group to focus on the
teens and the location is not in the center of Georgetown.
Recommendation was made by Tom Swift to recommend to City Council the selection
of site Number One, the land next to the Playscape, corner of Austin and Stadium Drive.

V. Information from Board Members and Director.
Questions regarding the developers knowledge about required parkland dedication were
addressed. The developers are informed by Planning and Zoning what is required for
parkland dedication and /or fees.
River Ridge III is coming before the Council for approval of their preliminary and final
plat. Why is River Ridge III getting variances? Because their roads are too narrow and
some are too long on their cul -de -sacs. They were granted those variances as part of
their conceptual plat.
Will the Parks Board have to move their meeting time to accommodate P &Z? No one
has mentioned that to staff or board members at this time.
The board wants Planing and Zoning agendas made available through phone calls that
P &Z is meeting at 7:00 on the 1st Tuesday of each month. Staff will get with Marsha
in P &Z to see if we can get in the loop.

Youth Basketball is underway. Staff is a little disappointed in the volunteers and lack
of GYRA participation. There is not nearly the support there that GYRA had indicated
there would be. We have a team without a coach. Parent participation has been solicited
from the team parents. (As a note of interest: After this meeting the parents of all the
children on this team were called and none would take the team in any capacity. This
team is being coached by Mary Lee.
Spring Break Camp is being offered this year. Board members were given the flyers for
this event.
RFP's are going out to the newspaper for architects for the Recreation Center. The
deadline for these are February 4th at 5 pm. We would like to submit the name of the
