• Jeffco Public Schools (JPS)

His istory ry/Background – The Lawsuit

• Lawsuit: PMD vs. KCRMD
• ~13 years and counting
• Judgement finalized in December 2013

His istory ry/Background – The Judgement

• A Judgement is a decision by the court that

determines the rights and obligations of the parties.

• PMD is obligated to provide recreation facilities to

KCR:

• Two tennis courts
• Pool facility
• Three multi-purpose ball fields

His istory ry/Background – Settle lement

• For our purposes, a settlement will contain the

details that the parties agree will satisfy the Judgement

• Technical term: Stipulated Supplemental Judgement
• Flexibility: may or may not follow the Judgement to

the letter

• Negotiated between the two parties
• Subject to final approval by the Judge

Ball llfields Proposal

• The proposed ballfields at Bradford North are one

possible piece of the settlement

• KCRMD has not entered into any agreements with

anyone regarding the proposed fields

• Construction is not imminent
• Parties are exploring the viability of the concept

KCRMD will not go forward with this proposal if there is not community support

What is is Bein ing Proposed?

• Construct two multi-purpose grass sports fields
• “soccer fields” for short
• Improve existing baseball field to game-worthy

condition

• No lights, bleachers, restrooms, or snack bar
• Benefits Bradford PE and athletic programs, and the

KC community by providing more opportunity for

• rganized sports (youth or adult)

What is Being Proposed? (con’t)

• PMD would finance the construction
• Jeffco Schools would supply the land
• Presumably, Jeffco Schools will keep title to the land
• KCRMD would be allowed to use/schedule the fields

during non-school hours via a long term contract called an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA)

• KCRMD is not interested in pursuing this if the fields

can not be scheduled to some extent.

Ballfields Proposal – Work Done to Date

• Meetings between various combinations of PMD,

KCRMD, and JPS representatives to gauge interest in the concept and outline preliminary steps

• Site Research (Funded by PMD)
• Topographic Land Survey
• Defines surface contours and features of the area
• Soil studies
• Soil type(s)
• Bedrock location
• Preliminary Site Plans (Funded by PMD)

What’s a Site Plan?

• A Site Plan is a concept with research and thought

behind it

• Shows what is proposed to be built
• Not how to build it
• A Site Plan is not a blueprint for construction

Next phase in the construction process would be Detailed Design, which would yield Construction Documents (aka “blueprints”). Detailed Design has not begun.

Ball llfields Proposal – Next xt Steps

• 0. Community Input (our purpose tonight)

If there is community support… 1. Create Task Force to define limits on scheduling 2. Work with JPS to Determine IGA Details:

• Estimated cost: $22,000/year in 2017 rates
• Who maintains/mows

3. Jeffco School Board Approval 4. Detailed Design 5. County Planning Review/Approval 6. Bid Process 7. Construction
