The Master Plan was approved by the Houston City Council in 2004. As a result, MPC announced a $10 million Capital Campaign to raise funds for major projects and improvements in Memorial Park. MPC has raised significant funds and is in the process of executing the projects included under the Capital Campaign.In FY 2011, MPC continued construction of Phase 1 of the Outer Loop Trail, an all-weather multi-use trail that connects the Living Bridge (constructed in FY 2010) to the north entrance of the Park, and is expected to be completed in FY 2012. Phase 2 of the trail is anticipated to begin in FY 2012. MPC also engaged an architectural firm to complete a design charrette for a Running/Trails Center to be constructed on the south side of the Park near the Living Bridge. Construction for the Running/Trails Center is expected to begin in FY 2012. 58693 Memorial Park Conservancy contracted professional forestry consultants for the implementation of the Memorial Park Forest Management Plan on a defined portion of the Park. The foresters assessed, identified and prioritized this treatment area concerning invasive/exotic plant species, forest canopy type, understory density and composition, and the presence or lack of tree generation. The data was uploaded to field computers running GPS and GIS software, and a preliminary implementation design was prepared. Memorial Park Conservancy contracted a public relations firm to inform and educate the public regarding the forestry plan. 43546 Preserving and conserving the natural habitat of Memorial Park for the public's benefit and enjoyment requires ongoing maintenance programs. The Volunteer Supervisor Program, directed by MPC's volunteer coordinator, was established in FY 2011 to expand volunteer hours and efforts devoted to such maintenance programs. Volunteer supervisors must demonstrate leadership qualities, complete a certification process and receive CPR training. Maintenance projects include invasive species removal, weeding, planting, gardening, trash pick-up, and ongoing reforestation efforts. The volunteer coordinator works in partnership with the Houston Parks & Recreation Department to prioritize and plan the projects. 18672 616762 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 7 0 true 5 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 38 38 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false X X Nancy E Sullivan 7138638403 6501 Memorial Drive Houston TX 77007 Wendy Hines 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Hershey 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Gibson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Costello 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelly Anello 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sadie Gwin Blackburn 1.00 X 0 0 0 Russell Brown 1.00 X 0 0 0 Regina Garcia 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Randall Grace 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ralph DeLeon 1.00 X 0 0 0 Odette McMurrey Mace 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy Sullivan 40.00 X 13388 0 0 Michael Skelly 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Grasley 2.00 X 0 0 0 Melinda Hildebrand 6.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Wilson Reckling 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Murray 2.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Brown 1.00 X 0 0 0 Madeleine Hussey 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Blanton 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Paukune 4.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanie Connell 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Jamie Hendrixson 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Porter 4.00 X 0 0 0 James Dougherty 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory Armstrong 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Moss 3.00 X 0 0 0 Frank C Smith 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Benton 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Gray 2.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Hobby 1.00 X 0 0 0 Claire Caudill 5.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Knapp 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Carlberg 1.00 X 0 0 0 Casey Doherty 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bryan Jordan 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bradford Moody 2.00 X 0 0 0 Blaine Adams 2.00 X 0 0 0 Alexander Webb 1.00 X 0 0 0 13388 0 false false false 0 3380 338266 528960 870606 0 5785 5785 0 0 0 0 50510 338266 46431 4079 4079 0 0 0 880470 9864 0 0 0 0 50205 25103 10041 15061 0 129142 48211 43679 37252 0 18309 7484 5484 5341 15077 6163 4516 4398 0 278 278 14789 14789 0 15000 15000 0 251911 245760 50 6101 0 30518 4720 22430 3368 4252 1738 1274 1240 0 0 606 606 0 2369 2369 0 0 2913 1190 873 850 6978 2853 2090 2035 Staff development 5425 5425 Park project materials 273540 273540 Other expenses 1371 1371 Other event expenses 46480 46480 Dues and subscriptions 1152 1152 0 870315 616762 116427 137126 841545 827523 726228 1226214 1723888 1361278 730 2886 0 0 0 0 2126 2076 14961 10959 6915 4002 0 0 0 0 0 3301432 3423979 62183 174575 62183 174575 X 624123 849872 2615126 2399532 3239249 3249404 3301432 3423979 10155 X false true true X false false X 521495 2635073 1906018 1040907 870606 6974099 0 0 521495 2635073 1906018 1040907 870606 6974099 1262199 5711900 4003 11626 21268 6559 5785 49241 0 0 7023340 0.81330 0.79250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 101574 10000 357 111931 101000 574 101574 101000 101000 0.99170 0.00830 false true true 14961 10959 4002 4002 880470 870315 10155 10357 10357 20512 918280 27453 10357 37810 880470 880470 897768 27453 27453 870315 870315 Part XII, Line 2d Part XII, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Revenue of affiliate $10357 Part V, Line 4 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
