SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES:
In 2015 Memorial Field will be funded by a combination of funds prescribed in the amended Interlocal Agreement with the City of Port Townsend, fee revenue and county
general fund transfer. Memorial Field continues to play a key role as home field for two school district football teams, home field for the Port Townsend High School boys and
girls soccer teams, and myriad other athletic, cultural and community events. Memorial Field has a maintenance backlog. A partial list of capital improvements needed at this
time is included below.
