DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Mike Perry, CPRE, CYSA

Find your FUN at Alpharetta Recreation and Parks! Take in the beauty of our parks or sign up for one of the many classes offered at our centers. Please contact any member of our staff for more information on how your family can enjoy and benefit from our programs and services!

POINTS OF PRIDE: MOU with the City of Milton:

The Memorandum of Understanding between the cities of Alpharetta and Milton for a mutually beneficial partnership for provision of recreation and parks programs and services has been extended another year.

Impact Fee Update:

In Fall 2015, Alpharetta City Council adopted a new impact fee schedule for recreation and parks. An impact fee is a fee imposed by the City on a new or proposed development to pay for all or a portion of the costs of providing public services to the new development. Impact fees will generate a source of funding for future recreation and park expansion and development.

Park and Capital Projects Summary:

Wills Park:

A water quality and drainage study will be conducted at the park and will include recommendations for storm bank restoration and protection. The City partnered with Alpharetta Youth Baseball Association to purchase two new baseball scoreboards at Wills Park. A roof repair and replacement project for several park facilities will be complete by Summer 2016.

Webb Bridge Park:

Phase 3 of the drainage and erosion control project at this park is underway and expected to be complete in Spring 2016.

North Park:

Drainage improvements at the North Metro Miracle League will begin in early 2016. A replacement 29-passenger vehicle was purchased and will be used primarily for day trips for adults age 50+. The City partnered with Alpharetta Youth Softball Association to construct a state-of-the-art batting pavilion at Fields 1-4.

Brooke Street Park:

Alpharetta’s Veterans Memorial was unveiled at the park on November 11 during a special dedication ceremony. This memorial honors the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.

Recreation Commission:

Alpharetta resident Jamie Bendall was appointed to the Alpharetta Recreation Commission by Mayor David Belle Isle in August 2015.

Alpharetta Big Creek Greenway:

In Fall 2015, a low-lying area of the trail system between Marconi Drive and Webb Bridge Road was repaired.

MEET RECREATION COMMISSION MEMBER JAMIE BENDALLJamie was appointed to the Commission in August 2015. Born in upstate New York, Jamie and his family have lived in Alpharetta since 2001. A graduate of Emory University and Pepperdine School of Law, Jamie is an attorney, small business owner, and professional comedian. He has been a youth coach in our community for over 10 years. He has served on the boards of the Alpharetta Youth Softball Association, Milton Junior Eagles, and the Georgia Alliance for Children. Jamie is a graduate of the 2014 Leadership North Fulton Class.

Jamie and his wife Kelly have three daughters, Avery (age 15), Addison (age 13), and Haydn (age 11). In addition to softball, Jamie and his family participate in a variety of recreational activities offered by Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department such as youth basketball and the Father Daughter Valentine’s Day Dance.

I grew up in a family where public service is an important part of being an engaged member of the community.” The City of Alpharetta welcomes Jamie to the Recreation Commission.
