WALKER PARK NORTH SOCCER FIELDS

a soccer field to the maximum regulation field size. The
soccer club also requested that the fields be irrigated, and
the club indicated willingness to put some money into it.
PRAB suggested a written agreement should be written up as
to what and how muchmoney the soccer club will assist with.
PRAB stressed that they had a lot of other programs to con-
sider for the budgeted money available. The City Engineering
Division is currently drawing the plans and specifications for
the fields.
PRAB stated questions listed below, as well as others need
to be answered:
How much work can be completed within the
available funding.
How about using the Green Space Fee money.
Do we need bleachers.

next PRAB meeing on June 15, 1987, at 5:30 p.m.

soccer club would need to pay for the water bills, instead
of coming out of the Parks Budget.
PRAB talked about drilling a well and an impoundment.
