• Item #9.C.5. <br /> City of <br /> Elk -�-� <br /> Diver <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherso Director of Planning <br /> DATE: April 10, 2002 <br /> SUBJECT: Discuss YAC and Orono Athletic Complex Uses <br /> City Recreation staff has had a number of conversations with Youth Baseball,Youth Softball <br /> and Adult Softball representatives regarding the uses at the Youth Athletic Complex and the <br /> Orono Athletic Complex. It appears that the participation in the adult softball program has <br /> lowered significantly and that the fields at the Orono Athletic Complex would be available <br /> for use by the youth softball program. <br /> • <br /> Staff suggests that the Commission consider a recommendation to the City Council to <br /> identify the Orono Athletic Complex as a softball complex and the Youth Athletic Complex <br /> as a Baseball Complex. In addition,Three Rivers Soccer Association(TRSA)is interested in <br /> discussing financial participation by its membership to construct soccer fields at the Youth <br /> Athletic Complex. It appears that there is adequate space for up to three full-size soccer <br /> fields at the Youth Athletic Complex for use by the TRSA. In addition, there are <br /> neighborhood parks coming on line that could also be utilized by TRSA if monies were <br /> available for development of soccer fields at these parks. <br /> Staff asks that the Commission discuss these issues and provide further direction to staff. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\YAC&Orono.doc <br />
