Conditions and Priorities for Funding Consideration Priority consideration for funding (both County projects acid matching grant projects) will be given to projects that meet the following criteria. Projects that meet multiple criteria will receive higher weighting: 1) Incorporate economies of scale (i.e., two or more fields situated together that share lighting and ancillary facilities) 2) Construct full size fields (approximately 360' in length by 225' in width) 3) Construct fields which include planned lighting 4) Construct fields which include planned irrigation 5) Construct fields that are readily accessible for public use 4) Construct fields that have access to Public Transportation 7) Construct fields that receive approval of appropriate regulatory agencies 8) Locations where water and sewer is available (especially for proposed "soccer park" projects).. 9) Construct new fields that are not previously approved as part of a park master plan or concept plan as of the November G, 2001 bond referendum. (Southern Corrununity Park, Efland-Cheeks Cornrmuuty School Park and all Schools occupied as of December .31, 200.3 are not eligible to receive Soccer Superfund funding.) 4. Contract Language Contract Language between the County and the grant recipient will inchide the following basic premises: Orange County retains the right to assume controlling management and operation of facilities for which applicant entities have received grant monies from this fund, should the Manager and the Board determine that field management, maintenance and/or availability expectations based on the above criteria and spelled out in the contract authorizing grant approval have not been maintained.. Fields that are funded by the Soccer Superfund must be reasonably available for use beyond that of the grantee. Any contract for matching grant must specify how and when community use of the field will be made available.
