Re: Conservation Trust Fund
The Weld County 4-H Softball Program operates each summer
at a field in Kersey. Some 35 4-H teams including over 625
4-H members play ball during a 3 game a night, 5 nights a week
schedule during June and July.
The field is leased from the Platte Valley School District
and all improvements, lights, fence, dugouts , etc. , are the
responsibility of 4-H. The initial improvements were installed
in the mid 60's and now the lights are in need of replacement.
The fixtures are obsolete, thus replacement parts are not
available and the incandescent lights are expensive to operate.
The wood poles are badly shell rotted and need replacing.
Therefore, it is requested that consideration be given to
a lighting system for this field from funding in the Conservation
Trust Fund. The normal cost to adequately light a softball field
with steel poles, proper wiring, and up to date fixtures is
$22,000.00.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Dunbar, Chairman
Consider this a. request for a portion of the Conservation
Trust Fund monies allocated to the County, for the Town of Keen-
esburg.
The Town is considering a sprinkling system for the existing
park. The park now is totally dependent on irrigation water which
has become limited to about four waterinms per year which is not
nearly enough.
I might add we do have a. Conservation Trust Fund established,
which would be committed to the improvement. The request would
probably he for 2/3 or al] of the improvement as the fund balance
of the Town is only a little over $500.00, As of now we have not
looked into bids of any kind so have no idea what to expect cost
wise,
Any consideration will be appreciated.
