PARK BOARD ITEM- Jerome Krieger, Recreation Manager
Title
METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION/AIRPORT PARK UPDATE
Background
City staff sat down with the National Sports Center staff in late April to discuss the Blaine Soccer Complex and Airport Park. The National Sports Center informed us that they had a nine month lease agreement with the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) for all ten soccer fields that the City of Blaine used to maintain and program. At the meeting we discussed what would happen in the transitional period as far as maintenance, programming, bathrooms and billing for the building.
City staff told the National Sports Center at the meeting that we wanted to keep the four softball fields at Airport Park. We explained to them that we wanted to maintain those fields for a long period of time. The National Sports Center said they had no interest in the softball fields at this time.
