Item 4 – Information Items

A. Update – Campion Foundation

Casey Tate gave an update from the Campión Foundation Committee. The committee consists of Casey Tate, Marcy Brown-Marsden, Matt Davis, Karen Harmon and Ed Bowers. Since the first meeting of the Committee on April 19^th, the Committee has met 3 subsequent times to review and revise a draft of an outline of the foundation functions.

The outline of the foundation includes two major functions, which are programming and administration. These two functions of a foundation are based on two main needs. The first need is to promote and expand the awareness of Campión Trails. This can be accomplished under the Programming function, which will focus on recreational activities, special events, educational and partnership activities.

Staff will begin the task of detailing the various potential activities, their feasibility and their impacts on the Department.

The Administration function of the Foundation will focus on raising funds throughout the community to enhance the various programming efforts and special events. Aside from the fund raising, the other focus of the administration function will be to market Campión Trails through brochures, newsletters and other outreach activities.

Paul Gooch commended the Committee for doing such a good job.

Paul Gooch informed the board of the Strategic Plan that was developed by the City Council and the new City Manager. The plan has been approved and adopted. The Strategic Plan is basically a work plan for the City. Paul reviewed the strategies that the Parks Department is and will be working on.

Paul Gooch advised the Board that the Citizen Bond Committee met with Staff and increased Staff’s original project funding recommendation to approximately $48,950,000 for Parks and Recreation Projects. During the review with the City Council, the final funding for Park Bond Projects was increased by the City Council to a total allotment of $69,475,000. Paul reviewed a few of the recommended bond projects with board members. Paul answered questions from board members.

D. Heritage Senior Center Municipal Setting District

Casey Tate made a Power Point presentation and gave a history of the Heritage Senior Center site. The development of the Heritage Senior Center required some existing groundwater contamination on the site to be cleaned up. As part of this effort, the site was enrolled in the Voluntary Cleanup Program with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). As part of the mitigation efforts, groundwater testing wells were installed on site and in the neighborhood around the Senior Center. Terracon, the City’s Environmental Consultant, has been under contract to monitor the levels of contaminants in the groundwater test wells, as mandated by the TCEQ. While the levels of contamination were steadily declining since the mitigation work through 2004, the most recent groundwater readings have determined that the contamination levels in some of the test wells are rising.

Based on the results form the test wells, there also appears to be an external pollution source moving into our groundwater monitoring zone from an unconfirmed upstream source. This new source is believed to be part of the reason the level of contaminants are rising. Unfortunately, the rising levels of contaminants will probably cause TCEQ to request that the water well monitoring continue on a quarterly basis and the TCEQ may also require additional HRC treatments to the groundwater contaminants. The cost of any requirements will exceed $200,000 ($80,000 for injection treatments and $120,000 for monitoring), as well as prolong the closure of this clean up effort for years. A Municipal Setting District (MSD) is a new option for addressing sites which have environmental issues.

The MSD Designation will require notification of surrounding water well owners, as well as capping and plugging of existing water wells within the MSD boundary and passing an ordinance restricting the drilling and use of groundwater within the MSD area. The MSD designation on this area will eliminate the need for further groundwater monitoring as mandated by the TCEQ, as well as additional contamination mitigation. Staff reviewed and received City Council approval to pursue the development of a Municipal Setting District designation for the Heritage Senior Center and surrounding area. The City’s environmental consultant, Terracon, has been hired and is working on the various issues required for a MSD to be approved by the TCEQ. Casey answered questions from board members.

E. Director’s Report / Awards Program

Paul Gooch mentioned the boards involvement in the Awards Program. He encouraged the board members to get involved and submit their nominations. Paul also mentioned that Casey Tate has worked with the Dallas County Open Space Board for many years which have been very supportive of The City of Irving and our Campión Trail system. We are expecting to get a little over $3 million in Grants over a 3 year time period beginning in 2007.
