summer, they had four to five teams practicing at Lino Park on Wednesday nights from 5-8 p.m.

residents, and the majority go to a school in the Centennial School District.
Mayor Rafferty stated that staff would follow-up with him regarding his request.

that received federal funding. Furthermore, if the city does receive funding she would like to
know the details of the funding. Finally, if the city has been awarded funding, has it been
received or is it simply allocated.
