I:\Commissions - NEW FOLDER\PREC (Parks Recreation and Environmental Commission)\2018\Working Documents\10.03.18\V_A Update on Field and Turf.docx <br /> <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission Members <br />From: Jennifer Fink, Director of Parks and Recreation <br />Subject: Update on Fields and Turf <br />Date: September 26, 2018 <br /> <br />As has been done in previous meetings, staff is working to present topics that will not <br />only give an overview of an area of responsibility, but also the services that are provided <br />to the community and how they might be changing as we look towards a <br />comprehensive strategic plan. <br /> <br />Fields and turf reservations and maintenance are a big part of the parks and recreation <br />department. Not only does the department gain revenue in the amount of about <br />$13,000 per year in field and turf rental, but it is also integral to the success of many of <br />our sports and recreation programs. <br /> <br /> Youth Soccer <br /> Youth T-ball <br /> Youth Baseball <br /> Youth Softball <br /> Adult Softball <br /> <br />With the opening of Lions Park, and the purchase of the New Brighton School property, staff has <br />been able to take advantage of additional turf to rest fields that have been in need of rest and <br />repair. Superintendent Wolla will provide information on the health and use of our fields, along <br />with an update on how staff plans to move forward with resting fields in the future. <br /> <br />
