HEAD'S APPROVAL: N/A <br /> MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: <br /> No comments to supplement this report Comments below/attached ��., <br /> EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary): <br /> The Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission considered the proposal (see attachment) to remove an <br /> adult softball field at Driftwood Park and replace it with a soccer field. The commission recommends that the <br /> City convert Driftwood to a soccer field and further that the City commit $3,000.00 from the Innsbruck Park <br /> development budget to cover the 1996 cost. The commission reasoned that the Driftwood option is the least <br /> expensive option that has been considered to date and that the Soccer Association has arranged to have the <br /> :work done at no cost to the City. <br /> The commission also recommended that the 1997 CIP include a $22,000.00 allocation to develop an irrigated <br /> regulation size field at Driftwood Park. <br /> Recommendation <br /> To authorize staff to convert the adult softball field at Driftwood Park to a soccer field in the fall of 1996 at a <br /> cost not to exceed $3,000.00. <br /> Maurice H. Anderson <br /> Director of Parks and Recreation <br /> • <br />
