Washington’s City Council, during its meeting Monday, is expected to consider amending the City Code to prevent unauthorized use of playing fields at the Susiegray McConnell Sports Complex and other city sports facilities from damaging those facilities.

“Over the last several weeks, what appears to be (a) semi-organized adult soccer league has been using the soccer fields at the Susiegray McConnell Sports Complex. They used 3 fields after excessive rain and ruined the field,” wrote Allen Lewis, the city’s public-works director, in a memorandum to the mayor and council members.

The issue was discussed with the city’s Recreation Advisory Committee, which recommends the city erect signs on the complex that announce the prohibition of “non-programmable sports that are not rented/reserved with the City Parks and Recreation Department,” according to the memorandum. The committee recommends the signs be written in English and Spanish.

Currently, the City Code prohibits individual practices on any city sports facilities unless pre-approved by the director of the city’s parks and recreation facilities or his or her designee. The proposed amendment would prohibit individual practices or games on any city sports facilities unless pre-approved by the director of the city’s parks and recreation facilities or his or her designee.

In other business, presentations of the 2015 Rena K. Terrell Awards are scheduled to be made to recipients in three categories. The award recognizes outstanding efforts in historic preservation.
