At its most reord Washing, the Alive R mtftn Committee, which isstudying the Citys short and long term
needs Mr andi"I active reveabon faciplia, rearwrendnl Mat the imndeniate short-term need for -
addiUonalsotterfields M mast in part by constructing an interim svccerfwld in the infldd of Me Bass Park
Harness hating Trate, We have remgrom for a number a years that We growing popularity of wtcer has
resulted in shortage of paying fields and has heavily stressed our nosing fields due to the frequency a
play.
While Me Committee condones to evaluate a loonger lintysolu0on M this problem, It Williams that N Is demanded
for some immediate thief in this area. Creating a soccer field wiMin the edabng infield an be done ala
reHlbety low cot and in a short ince More. City Engineered has estimated a Cos[ of appimdmatdy$10,000.
The Committee has also dkncsset ssveal abemative koatons wRhin the infield with the gad of recha ng the

accommodated, but should recognae Met there may be an impact should Mere be pubbas 0 heavy parking
demand Sh0uMV see a significant drop inmerues from Fair Parking in comer mto overall fair
attendance, I would suggest 69 We City might wish M awgnim the peotade reason for Me Impact and
provide We funs Park Enterprise Fund wilh a mal payen st W uI k. As aided, homenY, we hope Mat
this will not be Me case.
The[ommittee requested Mat I hardly anapmopnete funding source fpr this -work, and I would recommend
that we use We Geraal Fund's Condngency Account for the bursae. With dor cove recent appropriaims
from this account Mk will utilize all remaining Nrldiig from this source.
