REPORT TO: Mayor and Council
REPORT FROM: Leisure Activities Committee

ITEM NO. 1 — Practice Light at McLean Park
- please see attached information.

A few years ago, a "practice light" was erected
on a small pole at McLean Park. The soccer teams used the light
for practices in the evening. However, the light has been broken
for some'time and soccer has requested that it be fixed. Upon
inspecting the light, it was found out that the pole was full of
dry rot and therefore unuseable. The Committee feels that some
form of lighting should be made available at McLean Park and have
‘looked into the cost of acquiring an additional light to be used in
conjunction with the existing flood light. The City have some old
lamp posts at the yards and we would like to erect two at the west
side of McLean field with one floodlight on each pole, These poles”

are 30 feet high and would illuminate a fairly large area for

Practices.

RECOMMENDATION
1. That we erect two lamp standards on the west side of McLean

Park with floodlights.

2. That the estimated cost of $2,000.00 be taken from the Parks

Aquisition and Development Fund.
