Robert Little of 314 Raindrop Lane addressed the Board and passed out photos regarding
signs recently added to Bonita Parkway at the roundabout informing citizens of how the
traffic shoul.d flow. He rhetorically questioned if a study was done to see if they were
needed. Citizens of Creekwood subdivision requested a stop sign at Creekwood and
Orchard Valley. A study was conducted, and Mr. Little stated Director Lock deemed a stop
sign was not necessary for that intersection of roadway. Mr. Little stated the citizens of the
Creekwood community had requested the speed limit be lowered to 25 mph for safety
reasons, citing the road of the golf course across town in the "rich" area has a 25-mph
speed limit and sidewalks which Creekwood does not have. Mr. Little questioned why it
was so hard for the City to care for the "poorer" parts of town, emphasizing again the need
for a stop sign and a reduced speed limit on Creekwood.
CONSENT AGENDA
None
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
The caption was read for Resolution 2024-17, a resolution to apply for the Local Parks and
Recreation Fund Grant for Heritage Park.
Peterson moved; Garza seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2024-17.
Without objection, Goodwin was added as a sponsor.
There was discussion which included an explanation of the grant being a 50/50 grant with
the Heritage Park land value being used as the City's matching 50%. The Master plan
shows that parking will be added, trails, restrooms, and potential renovation of the barn as
an event center.
Burgdorf noted the Finance Committee passed the Resolution to BOMA with a neutral
recommendation only because future cost of maintenance is unknown at this
time.
There was discussion which included clarification that the City currently owns 35 acres of
Heritage Park and citizens known as Friends of Indian Lake own the remaining 38 acres.
The citizens will eventually be donating the 38 acres to the City making the Park be 73
acres. The cost of maintenance of a park this size is a concern for Sasse.
Sasse moved; Burgdorf seconded a motion to postpone the vote on Resolution 2024-17
until more information could be gathered on maintenance costs.
Roberson relayed questions to Director Gilley as to what kind of events will be at the
Park. Director Gilley stated the events would be similar to those held at Sanders Ferry
Park, but Heritage Park will not have the infrastructure that Sanders Ferry has. Events
could include elementary cross country, Saturday afternoon festivities, and walking trails.
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 23, 2024

Sasse called Point of Order as to relevance of Roberson's questioning to his motion to
postpone. Roberson clarified he was trying to quantify the maintenance needed by
inquiring about the types of events possibly to be held at Heritage Park and whether the
present staff would be able to maintain it. Clary determined the questioning was in line
to the point Roberson was trying to make.
Director Gilley stated the park is currently being mowed by staff and will continue to be as
well as cleaning restrooms, trash, and general maintenance as needed.
Clary declared the motion to postpone failed two (2) to ten (10) with voting as follows:
Aye: Martin and Sasse.
Nay: Burgdorf, Collins, Garton, Garza, Goodwin, Peterson, Roberson, Skidmore,
Waters, and Clary.
Waters inquired of Director Gilley whether he knew of any additional costs of maintenance
outside of what had already been discussed.
Director Gilley stated he was unsure of what all maintenance would entail once the trails
were inherited from the acreage to be donated. This is a new venture for the entire City. He
feels help will be needed from the community.
Waters asked Director Gilley if he had received any negative responses regarding the grant.
Director Gilley stated he had received nothing but positive responses. Goodwin added she
had lots of constituents contacting her regarding the grant and the Park and all had been
positive responses as well. She is in support of the resolution. Burgdorf also supports the
project but is concerned about the maintenance.
Sasse inquired about the length of trails in the wooded area and whether the two
sections of the park would ever be connected. Director Gilley stated the trails on the City-
owned portion of the property would equate to approximately two (2) miles and with the
remainder of the trails, once the donated portion of the park was received, there would
possibly be around four (4) miles of trails. He stated there was an easement granted by the
property owner at the comer of Stewart Drive for when the donated acreage is received the
two parks will be connected.
Collins stated when the property was purchased, the Board promised it would be used as a
passive park and the City should follow through with their promise even though she too is
concerned about the maintenance cost. Director Gilley stated that if the grant is received
and the project completed, TDEC requires a Notice of Limitation of Use for Public
Recreation in Perpetuity. Meaning, it must remain a park forever.
Martin noted there was a deadline for the application which Gilley stated was May 22,
2024.
Sasse clarified with Director Gilley that only one LPRF grant can be in process at any
given time. Director Gilley stated the LPRF grant applied for three years ago was on
schedule to be completed by May 15, 2024. Sasse stated he was not in support of the

The caption was read for Resolution 2024-18, a resolution to apply for the State of
Tennessee Recreational Trails Program Grant to fund a bicycle pump track in Veteran's
Park.
Peterson moved; Garza seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2024-18.
Peterson explained this grant is an 80/20 grant and the City's 20% portion has already
been raised by private citizens.
Burgdorf shared his support as well as Sasse who stated there will be minimal impact on
insurance cost for the pump track and his research revealed they are safe.
There was a unanimous vote to approve Resolution 2024-18.
Clary declared the motion carried.

RECOMMENDATION: Recreation Fund (LPRF) Grant Cycle from the State of STAFF
Tennessee
REPORT
REPORT PREPARED BY: Andy Gilley – Parks Director
BACKGROUND: 1
The Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) provides grants to eligible local government entities for the purchase of lands
for parks, natural areas, greenways, and recreation facilities. Through the years the city of Hendersonville has applied for
and received several of these grants which typically go on a two-year cycle. One of the requirements for this cycle to apply
was to complete and adopt a Park Master Plan, which we have completed. We are currently finishing up a grant from the
2022 grant cycle for a turf soccer field, rugby lights and ADA parking and viewing improvements. We recently (end of
March) were advised by TDEC that we would be potentially eligible to apply for the 2024 grant cycle due to our great
progress in the completion of our current grant project.
For the 2024 Grant Cycle for the LPRF Funding we are requesting to fund the Master Site Plan that was adopted by the
Parks Board and BOMA for Heritage Park on the city-owned portion of the property. This site plan was completed after
much public input and planning following the purchase of the property by the city in 2019.
DISCUSSION: 2
The LPRF is a 50/50 match. Either cash considerations or land value match must be used for the city’s portion of
the matching funds. Any land that the projects are completed on must be used for recreation in perpetuity. It
should be important to note that the value of the land will determine the value of the grant in this case. We are
currently having an updated appraisal of the property completed which will show the current value of the city-
owned portion of Heritage Park. For example, if the land is valued at $3.5 million, then that is the amount of the
grant that we will apply for, and the scope of the project will be a $3.5 million project that will be funded by the
state. This resolution is only requesting permission to apply. We will not find out if we are successful in this
application until later in the fall. Funds for these projects would need to be appropriated in the FY 25 budget as
both Revenue and Expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT: 3
The City is responsible for 50 percent of this grant either in the value of the land or cash considerations. We will
be applying for a grant to match the value of the land in this case and do not anticipate using general fund dollars
above the grant revenue received to complete the grant project.

apply for a State of Tennessee Recreational Trails Program
(RTP) grant to install a Bike Pump Track at Veterans Park
STAFF
REPORT
REPORT PREPARED BY: Andy Gilley – Parks Director
BACKGROUND: 1
The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a federally funded, state administered grant program.
RTP provides grant funding for land acquisition for trails, trails maintenance and restoration/rehabilitation,
trail construction, and trail head support facilities. Many members of the community have requested a bike
pump track to be installed in the city and the recent Parks Master Plan showed that this was something of
significant interest in the community. This grant is an 80/20 grant with the state providing 80 percent of the
funding. Members of the bicycle community and the Hendersonville Rotary Club will be providing the 20 percent
match for this project in the form of both financial contributions and in-kind labor and materials. The pump track
will be installed in Veterans Park beside the current skate park giving a nice compliment to the amenities there at
Veterans Park.
DISCUSSION: 2
The application for this grant, including matching funds, design and administration of the grant will be the
responsibility of the City of Hendersonville. Part of the prerequisite for this grant was our city completing
the recently adopted master plan showing a need for walking, hiking, and biking trails, a need that was
shown during public response.
• This resolution will be considered at the General Committee on April 9, the Parks Board on April 22, the
Public Works Committee and BOMA on April 23
FISCAL IMPACT: 3
