Call to Order The meeting was called to order by John Philpott at 7:00 pm. 2. Roll Call 3. Update on Rivery Project and Disc Golf Course Randy said the wetpond is finished. The contractor is putting in trees and finishing the gazebo. This spring the aquatic plants will be installed. The sidewalks are all poured and the benches and trash cans are installed. We are still waiting on the drinking fountain to be installed and the road down to the pond for park service vehicles to be asphalted. Frank Hubbard has completed the redesign of the disc golf course. He says there is still a lot of work to do to get the course cleaned up and playable. Some of the holes will have to be realigned when the new trail goes through. There are 18 holes now at the course. Ron asked if there has been any further damage to trees, Randy said he is only aware of the damages where the pond was installed. 4. Update on Private Venture Policy Randy passed out an example concession policy. We should have a cleaned up policy at the March meeting. Board members should get corrections to Randy within the next two weeks. Ron asked about another train presentation. John said that once the policy is in place and the train fits the policy, a train presentation would be appropriate. 5. Update on Challenge Course The challenge course is being reconstructed on Booty's Crossing; it will be bigger than the previous one with two zip lines. 6. Process for next phase of Hike/Bike trail Randy passed out a map of the hike/bike trail. The map includes the future trail to Lake Georgetown. That project is about a year and half away from being complete. Before a contract can be made with Texas Parks and Wildlife, access to the Country Club property must be fmalized along with the land use agreement with the Corp of Engineers. Ron asked what Congressman Edward's money would do for us. If Congressman Chet Edwards gets the funds for Lake Georgetown, restrooms will be a great asset that we would not be able to add. Mr. Chandler is being real helpful in the trail process too. Randy said he has had some calls from residents on Spring Valley about the trail and when he explains that it would be a sidewalk, they are ok with it. The board will have the opportunity to help choose the architect from the RFP's that are submitted. 7. Approve Minutes from January 16th Doug Blackard made a motion to approve the minutes from January 16, 2003. Phil Davis seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. 8. Future agenda items • Continual update on rivery project • Tree at Katy Crossing • Elect co-chair and secretary • Private venture policy 9. Adjournment John Philpott made a motion to adjourn.
