RecreationandParkCommission | 2008-06-12 | 2 | "That ARPD staff write a letter to the Police Department and ask for assistance in the parks on the weekends. The Commission would like to have APD check permits and make sure there is no alcohol is being consumed in the parks." 4. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Review and Discussion of Lincoln Park Field Renovation Plans - (Information Item) PM McDonald reviewed with the Commission the Lincoln Park Field Renovation Plans. The plans call for new irrigation, new turf, and the ball field will remain in the same location, dirt area will be leveled where another field used to be in the southeast corner, and some regrading will be done. Commissioner Restagno asked if there will be a grass infield. PM McDonald stated there is an alternate bid for a grass infield. Having a grass infield may be a good idea because the infield mix is getting very expensive and it needs to be trucked in, etc. Also some of the homes are very close to the field, and as much as everyone tries to water the field the dust still ends up on the homes. It would not eliminate all the dirt problems, but would help alleviate the dust problem. Commissioner Cooper asked how the field is used. PM McDonald stated that it is strictly used for hardball play. The only issue is if there are enough funds to do a grass infield. Commissioner Kahuanui asked how the project will be funded. PM McDonald stated that funds for the project will come from the General Fund. Commissioner Sonneman asked for clarification regarding the Rittler Park renovation being put on hold. PM McDonald stated that the Rittler Park Field Renovation was recently put out to bid and is scheduled to begin on July 7, 2008. Commissioner Cooper stated that he thought the City was going to start the Harrison Center first. PM McDonald stated that the building renovation was postponed at a Council Meeting and Council moved the field renovation up. PM McDonald also stated that the City has received notice from EBMUD about water rationing and it is impossible to keep up a new turf with the specs which require watering every day. PM McDonald is recommending to the Recreation & Park Commission and Public Works Department that the Lincoln Park Field Renovation be postponed. M/S/C KAHUANUI/BROWN (approved) "That Lincoln Park Field Renovation be postponed until after the drought and that Rittler Field Renovation be done first." Approved (7): Ogden, Restagno, Brown, Cooper, Kahuanui, Mariani, Sonneman B.
