 What We Know
 Risk Base
 Support
 Pricing Discussion
 Implementation - Next Steps

1. LGSA and LLL are at an all time high. 303 girls in LGSA, and 758 boys in LLL

2. Fields are at an all time low

3. We are due to grow 5 times larger in population in the next 5-7 years

4. We have a lack of fields to accommodate those needs

5. Every year more and more girls and boys go to Rocklin and Roseville leagues, instead of staying local.  Risk Base - In 5 years, Lincoln High School softball will have all but ran out of talent because kids have relocated due to a lack of:
• level of playing abilities
• Facilities and availabilities
• Volume of fields to come
 Support – We plan to raise our own funds to retro-fit the building – We just need to the facility cleaned out.
 Pricing Discussion – Leasing and organizational payback.  Implementation / Next Steps - City Council Approval

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We ask that the City of Lincoln not build a disc golf course in the long-established Lincoln Crossing Nature Preserve. The change from open space to a disc golf course will have a strong negative effect on natural resources.

The Lincoln Crossing Nature Preserve has a protected status. Per the Declaration of Restrictions, the city should not allow construction of infrastructure or uses within the Nature Preserve that would directly or indirectly cause current or future damage to the wetlands or wildlife habitat.

We ask that the city choose a different site for construction of a disc golf course. Please maintain Lincoln Crossing Nature Preserve for the enjoyment of current and future generations to come.

Sincerely,
