STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1.  King County, a home rule charter county and political subdivision of the state of Washington, is the owner of the property, located at 22915 NE Alder Crest Drive, Redmond, Washington, 98053, and illustrated in Exhibit A of Attachment A to this ordinance.
2.  Redmond North Little League ("RNLL") is a nonprofit Washington corporation that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is a community-based, open-membership public club organized to provide public youth baseball programs for children between five and thirteen years old.
3.  King County has determined that a synthetic baseball field and synthetic multiuse field at Redmond Ridge park will have significant regional recreational value.  Synthetic fields will allow for multiple uses and users throughout the year, thus increasing public access and utilization of park facilities.
4.  Under Phase 1 of this project, RNLL will convert an existing baseball field to a synthetic turf infield and relocate two batting cages, using $200,000 in Community Partnerships and Grants Program ("CPG") funds and over $300,000 in community resources.
5.  Under Phase 2 of this project, RNLL will construct a multipurpose synthetic field for baseball and soccer and receive an additional $500,000 in CPG funds for this phase, contingent upon RNLL's ability to secure an additional $700,000 by September 1, 2013.
6.  Ordinance 14509 authorized the department of natural resources and parks to create new public recreation opportunities by empowering user groups, sports associations, and community organizations, like RNLL, to operate, maintain, and implement mutually agreed-upon capital improvements for public recreation facilities on King County land, and thereby address regional or rural recreation needs without incurring new tax-funded operations and maintenance costs.
7.  Use agreements are authorized under K.C.C. 4.56.150.E.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  The King County executive is hereby authorized to sign a use agreement, substantially in the form of Attachment A to this ordinance, with Redmond North Little League for the use, development and construction of a synthetic baseball and a multiuse field at Redmond Ridge park, Redmond, Washington, and this ordinance constitutes project authorization under Ordinance 17392.
