Administrative Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 4441
Background Summary:
Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation submitted an application for a 2009 Youth Sports Facility Grant from
King County in the amount of $50,000 to improve Field No. 4 at Brannan Park. The grant requires a
match from the City of $21,750.00, and $7,250.00 match from a community partner, which in this case is
Auburn Youth Soccer.
The improvement is envisioned to include making turf improvements to the baseball field and to develop a
proper sloping, regulation size soccer field overlay. It will further enable regulation soccer play in the
north-south direction so that the field crown will slope from midfield to the north and to the south in equal
fashion; and it will add fencing on the north and south ends of the field to prevent vandalism to the
surface and to keep balls in play, as well as installing spectator bleachers on concrete pads.
We were advised in December that our grant application was awarded, and contract D38607D was
forwarded for approval and signature. Together with a previous Youth Athletic Facilities Grant, the
improvements to Brannan Field No. 4 are significant and greatly enhance the usability of the fields at
Brannan Park.
Staff requests that Council accept these grant funds. When received, and the project is completed,
sports teams and spectators will benefit from the playing surfaces and the new amenities. It will also
eliminate vehicle intrusions on playing surfaces, thereby decreasing maintenance time and expense.
