B. Discussion to lock gates at Kennedale ball fields as theft is a huge issue. City staff is
working with the Kennedale Youth Association to block access as well as funding for
this added security. The main idea is to have a lock for each field as well as restrooms
with one main entrance open to the public where KYA would soon be able to charge to
enter fields to help pay for maintenance. A lot of electrical and maintenance has been
done to these fields in the last few weeks to help maintain and prevent theft of
electricity.
