MEMO TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Kim Stephan DATE: February 20, 2008 SUBJECT: Centennial Soccer Club's Request to Use the Fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the 2008 Season Mr. Doug Porter was present at the February 6, 2008 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to request the use of field space at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The request was identical to last year. 1. Requesting two fields, 25 x 40 yard open spaces, located east of the parking lot and bound by the bike path, for the U2 - U8 age group, for games only. This request is for Monday - Friday from 4 p.m. to dusk, April 28 through June 30, 2007. The Centennial Soccer Club will set up goals and manage a reservation system to assign teams to specific dates and times for games. 2. Requesting one field, 70 x 60 yard open space, located south of the skate park, for the un - UI2 age group, for practice only. This request is for Monday - Friday 3:00 p.m. to dusk, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to dusk, April 1 through October 29,2007. The Centennial Soccer Club will set up goals and manage a reservation system to assign teams to specific dates and times for practices. In discussing this request however, the committee members felt the fields should have some time left open for the public's use for such activities as softball, frisbee and football. Overall, the committee felt a compromise would be to reduce the days in request #2. Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Selander to recommend to City Council approving the Centennial Soccer Club's request for dedicated use of the soccer fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park as stated above in request #1, but recommend amending the request in request #2 to the following days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with the hours as requested. All in favor. MotioD earried unanimously.
