. The slab and fencing posts remain on the original site.
· These are 3 approaches as to what to do with this site.
Approach #1
Cut off the poles and use them elsewhere. Public Works demolish the concrete slab
and haul it off.
Approach #2
Parks and Recreation and the Little League could use storage areas at Trotwood Park.
Storage buildings could be placed and secured to the concrete pad to facilitate park
maintenance and also Little League practice equipment.
Approach # 3
The Little League would like to use the area as bullpens (practice pitching area). They
would pay all costs to fence at 8ft and provide irrigation for tree buffer and install
portable mounds and use it for pitchers to practice in.
Approach # 4
Parks and Recreation could place park benches on the site and irrigate and landscape
near it.
FUNDING:
Approach # 1 - Estimated $ 500.00 Public Works Labor.
Approach # 2 - Parks and Recreation future purchase of storage building $ 4,000.
Approach # 3 - No City Cost.
Approach # 4 - Estimated cost for Benches, irrigation and landscaping $ 2,000.
2
*The out of pocket cost does not include an estimated contribution of approximately
$ 4,400 in contributed city labor.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Parks and Recreation Department recommends that the City Commission choose
alternative # 2 since alternative # 2 would best meet Parks and Recreation need for on site
equipment and material storage to improve park maintenance efficiency.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
June 26, 2001
