(the LGC), Houston-area communities, the City of Houston, and other entities, works to improve park spaces through renovation of existing parks and construction of new improvements to provide equitable distribution of park amenities and recreation facilities for Houston's growing communities. The LGC is a Texas nonprofit local government corporation created by the City to provide support for the City's park system. HPB has a management agreement with the LGC to acquire, manage, develop, and improve parks properties on behalf of the LGC and contract for the design, development, improvement, construction, and installation of parks and open spaces. In FY 2012 HPB had 1 projects in design phase and 6 projects under construction. 996603 50200 377907 The Houston Parks Board assists with special projects to promote cultural activities and athletic events as well as managing trust accounts for City supported park and community programs. 887310 159165 The Houston Parks Board's Land Acquisition Program is focused on the expansion of the City's park system, in partnership with the City's Parks and Recreation Department, Harris County Flood Control District and other entities. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for Houstonians by acquiring more parkland to ensure availability of equitably distributed park spaces as the city continues its aggressive growth. One area of particular focus is acquiring green spaces along the bayous to help improve flood prevention while providing park amenities for the community. A significant component in accomplishing this goal is constructing trails along the bayous. In FY 2012 HPB began design work and continued land acquisition work on White Oak Bayou and Brays Bayou. The HPB Land Acquisition Program acquired $664,245 in property for additional greenspaces and granted $63,441 to the Houston Parks Board LGC for purchase of land assets. HPB also granted $15,724 to the City of Houston for purchase of land assets. In the fiscal year ending 6/30/2012, the HPB Board approved a contribution of $70,000 to the newly formed Parks For Greater Houston for the purpose of encouraging the passage of a bond issue to fund park projects. 2941436 true true false true false false false false false true true false false true true false false true false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true 79 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 29 29 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false X X Roksan Okan-Vick 7139428500 300 N Post Oak Lane Houston TX 77024 X Don Woo 0.50 X 0 0 0 Barron Wallace 1.00 X 0 0 0 Herman L Stude 0.75 X 0 0 0 Michael Skelly 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Price 0.50 X 0 0 0 John Will Odam 0.75 X 0 0 0 Connelly T McGreevy 0.06 X 0 0 0 Alex Martinez 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ann Lents 1.50 X 0 0 0 Vivian R King 0.25 X 0 0 0 Mindy Hildebrand 0.50 X 0 0 0 Benito Guerrier 0.25 X 0 0 0 Christine Griffith 0.13 X 0 0 0 Jim Green 0.75 X 0 0 0 Steve J Gibson 0.50 X 0 0 0 Karen Garcia 0.50 X 0 0 0 Thomas W Flaherty 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Fitch 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Espitia 0.75 X 0 0 0 Lee A Collins 0.00 X 0 0 0 W Charles Carlberg 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ellanor Allday Camberg 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marie A Baldwin 0.75 X 0 0 0 Dina Alsowayel 0.50 X 0 0 0 Don Stephen Aron 1.50 X X 0 0 0 S Reed Morian 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jill Jewett 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Nina O'Leary Zilkha 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Thomas G Bacon 2.50 X X 0 0 0 Roksan Okan-Vick 45.00 X 155493 0 13448 155493 13448 1 false true false Wade Contractor Inc 4582 Kingwood Dr E517 Kingwood TX 77345 Construction 102930 DL Meacham LP 2102 Hoskins Dr Houston TX 77080 Construction 442974 Brown & Gay Engineers Inc 10777 Westheimer Ste 400 Houston TX 77042 Trail Design 133819 3 471879 9078853 69367 9550732 Concessions 713990 377907 377907 377907 399044 399044 0 10921 10921 0 599880 599979 -99 -99 -99 16000 471879 35125 -19125 -19125 0 0 0 10319380 377907 390741 159165 159165 50200 50200 0 0 169055 126136 27345 15574 0 265832 200211 41809 23812 9664 7211 1562 891 22876 17068 3700 2108 29520 22026 4775 2719 0 3153 2973 180 32895 32895 0 0 23163 35 23128 257462 197462 60000 805 805 94047 83578 8037 2432 0 0 12607 10075 1613 919 27305 27226 50 29 0 9604 9049 555 0 0 0 34994 32609 1521 864 Architectural & design 177564 177564 Program supplies/Landscaping 538809 538809 Event expenses 541676 504840 36836 Construction 719044 719044 61478 55350 4752 1376 3240918 2941436 151922 147560 1004519 1042210 157749 155780 100450 4077200 1263609 141176 0 0 0 0 500 1891 13768886 13037640 13768886 9188759 11873797 0 0 0 3329610 4492324 28082836 35553264 79522 146613 150000 70000 928159 171122 1157681 387735 X 10452820 11401185 9894830 16039975 6577505 7724369 26925155 35165529 28082836 35553264 X 7078462 1161912 X false true true X false false X 10895585 4071206 5160335 3551939 9550732 33229797 0 0 10895585 4071206 5160335 3551939 9550732 33229797 14098536 19131261 364817 370257 636280 482022 409965 2263341 0 0 35493138 8683818 0.53900 0.59640 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 70000 70000 3147755 3217755 310888 77722 false 310888 310888 466332 70000 70000 77722 77722 116583 Part II-B, Line 1i Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description Staff time spent on the Hike & Bike Legislation 5762498 87775 439158 86395 5324720 4978761 1500 833649 51412 5762498 4852274 320872 173565 20820 4978761 0.69103 0.30897 true false false 24342 13744544 13768886 13768886 Interest in Hou Parks Board Foundation 4492324 4492324 Funds held for others 43107 Construction contracts payable 128015 171122 10319380 3240918 7078462 -802 112146 111344 7189806 10274389 -802 -44189 -44991 10319380 10319380 3242221 1303 1303 3240918 3240918 Part XIII, Line 2d Part XIII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Expenses of affiliate $1303 Part XI, Line 8 Part XI, Line 8: Other Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances Change in value of HPB Foundation $1162714 Part V, Line 4 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

From time to time, it transfers land to or purchases land for the City of Houston or the Houston Parks Board LGC, a local government corporation that was formed to hold the parkland and improvements of HPB. During this fiscal year, HPB Board also approved a contribution of $70,000 to Parks For Greater Houston to assist with its first year of operations. HPB also acts as an agent for the City of Houston regarding certain funds that are maintained on behalf of the City. Two such funds provide scholarships to students. The Houston Parks and Recreation Department's A.S.K. Group and the First Tee Program determine the ASK and Dave Marr scholarship recipients and have HPB write a check directly to the school the student is attending. The ASK program and the First Tee Program monitors the initial and ongoing qualification of scholarship recipients, not HPB.
