CALL TO ORDER Doug Blackard called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm II. ROLL CALL Members Present: Members Absent: Ms. Jean Houck Ms. Brenna Nedbalek Mr. Ron Doernbach Ms. Mary Lee Dobi Staff Present: Mr. Douglas Blackard Randy Morrow, Director of Parks & Recreation Kimberly Garrett, Manager of Administration III. DISCUSS AND REVIEW THE PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE There was some discussion on the different parkland dedication fees and methods used by other cities in the area. Doug said he likes the idea of having the fee based on a percentage, he feels this is best for taking market fluctuations into consideration. There was some discussion as to who determines the appraised value. It was discussed that you could get an average value of the development, but would the value be before or after buildout? It would be biased to assess a fee based on the area of the development, making some pay more and others pay less. Cedar Park's ordinance was discussed and they use an average market value of $30,000 per acre for their fees. Members liked this process. Sub committee members agreed on the process of using an average price per acre and then figuring a percentage of that number to set the fee. The next step would be to go to the appraisal district and find out the average price of a lot/acre in Georgetown and then charge a percentage based on that average value. Staff will contact the appraisal district and e-mail the committee members what the average value is. The committee members will make a report at the regular board meeting on May 16, 2002. IV. ADJOURN Doug Blackard made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Parks and Recreation Board Minutes May 9. 2002 Page lotl
