The City of Great Bend would like to proceed with plans to install artificial turf at its Sports Complex. That was the consensus of the City Council following a Tuesday night work session. The city seeks a partnership with the Great Bend Recreation Commission and Unified School District 428 for the project, City Administrator Kendal Francis said. The city is willing to kick in a tick over 60%, or $920,000, of the $1.4 million endeavor, with the rec commission ponying up $200,000 (as well as annual maintenance of the turf) and the school district $280,000.
