BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:
.The Parks & Recreation Committee have had an onsite inspection
with. Claire Doerkson and Mark Saul from Minor Baseball. to dis-
cuss the upgrading of the Colt diamond. There is a need to.
extend, the wings of the backstop and add an overhang in order
to prevent the balls from continually going into the ditch.
Furthermore, there are some low spots on the outfield that
have to be raised. Once this is completed, we will move Minor
Baseball from McLean Park to Thompson Park. There is enough
money left in the old Parks Reserve to cover the cost. of:
‘upgrading. Attached is a report on the costing from the >

Engineer.

‘K. Janna Taylor,
Recreation Director.
