As you well know, <br />the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department operate a youth fall tackle football program for area youth. <br />This year will mark our third year of operating this program, but the tackle football progrfull has been in <br />operation for several years. <br /> <br />I am contacting you today to investigate the possibilit"j of utilizing one of the lighted ball fields at Laurie <br />LaMotte Memorial Park for the area youth football program. It is my impression we are able to develop an <br />eighty-yard football field at this site. If we were able to utilize this site and lights, this would greatly enhance <br />the football experience for many of our participants. At the present time, we have approximately twenty <br />percent of our participant's come from the City of Centerville. This field with lights would reduce the travel <br />time for some of our lower grade level teams and extend our practice period due to utilizing the lights on this <br />field. <br /> <br />If this is a possibility, we would need the field to be mowed and I am certain we could get volunteers to mark, <br />with paint, the appropriate field dimensions. <br /> <br />Our season runs from mid August - the end of October. If this field were available, we would like to make <br />use of the facility Monday - Thursday in the evening and possibly on Saturdays. <br /> <br />!fyou or fuiother representative would like to contact my office to discuss 1J.\is matter, I can be reached at 651- <br />982-2445 or bbernsteinaV,ciJino-lakes,mn.us. If need be, I would even attend a Park Board meeting to discuss <br />this matter with the entire board. <br /> <br />To adequately plan the season, I will need to k..'10W if this field is available by August 1. I realize this is short <br />notice and understand if there is not sufficient amount of time to discuss this issue. <br /> <br />I look forward to hear from you soon. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />r~ <br /> <br />Recreation program Supervisor <br />
