Lino Lakes Public Services Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />CENTENNIAL SOCCER CLUB (CSC) FIELD USE HISTORY <br />April, 2002 Referendum failed for recreation complex that included 5 full size <br />soccer fields. <br />January, 2003 City of Lino Lakes hit with drastic funding cuts in Local Government <br />Aid ($157,000) and Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid. <br />April, 2003 Public Services Department decides to reexamine and reevaluate <br />the use and maintenance of all athletic fields. <br />October, 2003 Letter sent to CSC requesting information of participants. Criteria to <br />allocate fields are included in letter. <br />March, 2004 Participation data sent to Public Services Department. In 2003, 904 <br />total participants in CSC; 520 (58 %) reside in Lino Lakes, 384 (42 %) <br />reside in other cities. <br />February, 2005 <br />Public Services Department staff met with CSC Board to discuss <br />field use. CSC is made aware that Lino Lakes is no longer in a <br />position to provide 100% of the fields for CSC. Since other cities <br />represent 42% of the CSC membership, it was suggested to contact <br />other municipalities to provide soccer fields. Due to the short time <br />frame, Lino Lakes agreed to again provide 100% of the fields for <br />2005. <br />November, 2005 Mr. Peterson from the CSC informs the Park Board that he wants <br />more soccer fields from Lino Lakes since ft appears that there is no <br />additional space available. The Park Board suggested that the CSC <br />approach the other cities (that comprise the 42% of non -Lino Lakes <br />residents) to secure additional field space. <br />February, 2006 City staff notifies Mr. Peterson that we will be using CMS #7 on <br />Thursdays for the lacrosse program. Mr. Peterson disagrees with <br />the decision made by the city of Lino Lakes to utilize 1 field, 1 day <br />per week for the lacrosse program (consisting of 68 Lino Lakes <br />residents in 2005). City staff responds to Mr. Peterson's follow -up <br />email (dated Feb. 23). <br />March, 2006 Staff finds out this morning that an email has been distributed to <br />• Centennial Soccer families requesting that everyone show up at <br />tonight's Park Board meeting to show that the CSC membership is <br />upset. <br />3/6/2006 <br />C: \Documents and Settings \rick.degardner \Desktop \2006 Centennial Soccer history.doc <br />
