Thank you for meeting with me. and hearing about our Fields for Kids

There are approximately 6000 kids in Diamond Bar that are involved in
the sports programs and we do not have enough fields for them to practice
Board nl DirecfuN'
on and play their sports. As I indicated in our meeting many of the youth
Camly,,An I—nCm—
\Farm �lnnagcmcm
sports organizations tum away kids because of this lack of fields. This
problem is decades old and now is the time to begin working on the
s 1lcmann
solution. The need is even greater now. The medical community tells me

that the lackof exercise is causing tremendous health problems for our

youth.

As we discussed the best possibility to solve the problem is for the City of
Diamond Bar and the two school districts to work together to benefit

thousands of kids now and in the future. I am pleased that yourself and
Pammrs
Richard Martinez are both in agreement
Pacirrr crew Y,rd,Ans e),r
I was particularly encouraged that you responded positively to my
suggestion that WVSD consider setting aside $500,000 from the proceeds
Bflgct Rey -l&
of the Site D sale to use with the city in a joint use arrangement These
Anicrinn career Srriete
funds can help upgrade district facilities and solve the shortage of sports
fields. I appreciate your recommending this to the district.
