scheduling our own fields, our policies would be much easier to enforce. This would also <br /> allow the District to set their own policies as they see fit. <br /> While we are scheduling District facilities from May-August,we truly don't have authority <br /> over these sites. The school must okay all uses scheduled during the school year. There <br /> have also been issues with school maintenance needs throughout the summer. Every season <br /> we have sprinklers going during scheduled practices and games. We have been told that the <br /> times this is occurring cannot be adjusted. The grass at the various schools are treated with <br /> chemicals and we don't receive any notification of when they will be spraying so the children <br /> will go out to play and may not notice right away that there are small signs saying to keep off <br /> the grass. This is a health concern as well as a scheduling conflict. Recently, two major <br /> fields were seeded and we received this information after the fact and were then told to keep <br /> everyone off the fields for at least two weeks. This created conflicts with scheduling and <br /> extra work for our department to call coaches and let them know they couldn't practice or <br /> have games and then to reschedule everything. <br /> As you can see, there are many reasons that support the City providing scheduling and <br /> maintenance of their facilities and the District providing scheduling and maintenance of <br /> theirs. Our department feels that this change would help alleviate some of the workload we <br /> currently have and allow us to provide the same level of service for new facilities being <br /> completed and the additional responsibility of managing the Adult Softball Complex. We <br /> are requesting that this change take place after the end of the current season. <br />
