3) Youth Sports Organizations Request for Funding of Electricity Costs
Ten youth organizations in the City of West Covina use sports fields that are
located on City -owned park property. Six of these organizations are connected to
City -owned electric meters and therefore pay no electricity bills. The remaining
four organizations have their own meters and pay for the electricity to operate
their snackbars. One league, West Covina Youth Pony Baseball, has one of their
fields on Coronado School property and pays for the electricity to light this field.
The City has received a letter from West Covina Youth Pony Baseball and verbal
requests from other leagues that pay their electric bills to have the City fund all
electricity costs associated with operating their youth sports programs. Staff
recommends that the City Council fund the costs starting April 1, 1996, for
electricity associated with operating youth sports leagues at Palm View Park,
Sunset Field, Cameron Park, Del Norte Park, and Coronado School and that the
funding source be designated as the Citywide Lighting and Maintenance District.
