Kennedale Youth Association must provide a thirty (30) day notice before subletting with

later. KYA assures the Park Board that their games will never go passed 11:00pm.
7. Park Board would have no problem with renting fields to outside sources aas long as KYA
does not have use of the fields in order to generate revenue for the City.
