SUMMARY: Improvement to ball field drainage at Pendergast Park to support league and
tournament softball play which is the Park Department's largest single revenue generating program
Ponding and soft outfield turf at field number 2 has resulted in cancellation of tournaments and city
league games Additionally, poor drainage causes staff to spend an inordinate amount of hours
attempting to bring the field to a safe, playable condition following rainy weather The $40,000
transfer of real estate excise tax (REET) will fund installation of sub - surface drains including
perforated pipe placed in sand filled trenches spaced every 15 feet The work will be performed by
Greenshield Systems LLC under a contract with the King County Directors Association (KCDA)
KCDA is a non - profit purchasing co -op used by municipalities and school districts to obtain volume
pricing on goods and services Performing these improvements in the Fall season will allow the field
to recover in time for the Spring softball season
