RECREATION ACRES BALL FIELD #7  The City of King has eight baseball/ softball/ t-ball fields at its Recreation Acres Park. These fields are used by many organizations throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons In 2023, ball field lights were upgraded to metal poles and LED lighting on fields #3, #5, #6 and #7, Field # 4 lights were removed completely. Field #4 is the largest field and hosts senior ball games. With these lights removed, senior ball games cannot be played after dark. After discussion with King Little League, a solution was offered. by them to place outfield fencing on field #2 and field #8 to allow games and practices to be held without interference. from citizens at Everyone's Playground going tot the restrooms at the concession stands. King Little Léague also suggested moving field #7'soutfieldi fence to its original location. The fence, was moved in 2016 because smaller fields were needed, and field #4 was the Moving this fence on field #7 back to its original location would allowi fora dual-purpose field and have upgraded lights on that field as well. Field 4 could still be used, but not after dark. This would allow time for the council to decide ifand when they would like to put new poles and lights on field #4. If they do decide to put lights back on field #4, field #7 would: still be used as à dual-purpose field and would not have to be converted back to a smaller field. King Little League has agréed to take care oft the cost of fhaving the outfield fences installed on fields #2 and #8, and the City of King would be responsible for the cost of moving the field #7 fence back. Staff would like to have this item, as well as the other two fences, installed before April 6th, 2024, as this is the opening day of King Staff got pricing to install a new outfield fence on field #2 and push back the fence on field #7.

VETERANS MEMORIAL IMPROVEMENTS  The City of King's Veterans Memorial fountain was repaired by city staff in the fall of 2021 and early spring of 2022. During this repair, new pumps were installed in the bottom and top bowis of the fountain, all granite was thoroughly cleaned, and engraved lettering was repainted. The top bowl of thet fountain was designed to allow water to flow over the granite and back into the bottom bowl. The chlorine from the water inside the fountain and the weather have faded the granite and washed away the painted engraved lettering, leaving a milky film Staff is requesting to have one of the solutions in early 2021 revisited: Fill in the top bowl of the fountain and  over the granite sides that make up the top bowl of the fountain.  make thisi into a "planter." This would eliminate ai fewi issues with the fountain:  The pumpt thati feeds the wateri from the top bow! to the bottom bowl has had morei issues thant the other Granite that water overflows from is not level. This does not allow the water to overflow over the granite evenly, making the granite streaky. By not having water flowing over, the granite being level is not a concern. Inorder to make the granite level, each granité panel would. need tol be removed, new brackets installed, and granite placed back in place and adjustèd to be level.

KING LITTLE LEAGUE CONTRACTS  The City of King and the King Little League (KLL) have had a contract for 20 years for KLL to use Recreation Acres ball fields for their practices and games. This contract also allows KLL to use the concession stands during games to create revenue for their organization. The original contract stated that the City of King owns the building and everything within the building, but KLL was responsible for maintenance and upkeep for all contents within the building as well as paying the power bill for the ball field lights, cleaning of the building and restrooms at the concession stand and paying for the propane used during their season. All profits made from concession stands would go to the KLL organization. In 2020, The City of Kinga and KLL entered a new, separate contract to allow KLL to operate the concession stands during city-held events, such as softball/ baseball tournaments. Profits were to City staffr met with the KLL organization' in early February to discuss a new contract. What the Cityo of King proposed was a contract that would have the City of King own and maintain the concession stand and all its contents. This would makei the City of King responsible for all equipment insidei the concession stand and for keeping the building and bathroom clean and maintained. With this contraçt, it would be much like a landlord and tenant contract. The profits from concession stands would be split at ar rate of 80%1 for KLL and 20%1 for the City of King. KLL would be responsible for any damage caused by their organization; to the city's equipment and the propane bill and power bill fori field lights during their season. Research into other municipalities' contracts for concession stands shows contracts much! like this one and that the municipality's profit js split somewhere between 5%-20%. The KLL tournament contract would be updated, but no verbiage. changé was needed except for dates. This would add more revenue: to" the general fund. The 20% should cover any maintenance costs and equipment upgrades needed for the concession stand. The 25% from the tournament contracts will also provide revenue. The amount of revenue will depend on how much is sold during the season and during tournaments. The City of King's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously approved both contracts and sent them to the council for their approval. King Little League has reviewed both contracts and is good with both moving The City Attorney, advised adding a séction concerning the Cleanliness of the Facility and Concession Area to the  be split 75% to KLL and 25% to City of King.  forward.
