<br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 12, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Public HearinQ. continued <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING <br />AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON <br />WEXFORD HEIGHTS 2ND ADDITION STREET AND UTILITIES, PROJECT <br />92-10. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes. Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Director Maurie Anderson presented the request for <br />improvements to the Irondale baseball field. <br /> <br />Jim Payne. Irondale Dugout Club, said the club has made significant <br />progress in renovating what was a very poor quality field. The long range <br />plan is to make this a good quality baseball field. Field use during the <br />spring is primarily high school use. but during the summer the field is <br />extensively used by youth baseball organizations. <br /> <br />The Club is requesting that Council consider a $5.000 contribution towards <br />the project and the use of City employees. Mr. Payne noted the assistance <br />received last fall from the school district and the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />The long range plan includes: enclosing the entire facility in chain link <br />fencing, installing new back stop. building new concrete block dugouts with <br />chain link, and building a storage room at the first base dugout. <br /> <br />Mr. Payne noted the many donations raised by the baseball parent <br />organizations. <br /> <br />Anderson suggested that the City Attorney draft an agreement with the <br />City and the Dugout Club to indicate the nature of the grant and purpose. <br /> <br />Benke asked if there should be some communication regarding the <br />donation's use. Mr. Payne said the donation could be made to School <br />District #621 and the City could specify its use. <br /> <br />Larson lives near the baseball field and feels it is in the best condition he <br />has seen in years. He commended the volunteers' efforts. <br /> <br />Gunderman supports the donation, but feels an agreement should be <br />created which relates to the use of the baseball field to assure that current <br />users would still be able to use the field once it has been upgraded. Mr. <br />Payne expressed those same concerns. <br /> <br />:> <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to AUTHORIZE TRANSFER OF <br />FUNDS FOR PURPOSES OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE IRONDALE <br />BASEBALL FIELD AND DIRECT STAFF AND CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE <br />AN APPROPRIATE AGREEMENT WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT 621. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes.
