f~, . .' y Little Lakes Little League-Fields Committee The result of these improvements would be to generate three high quality fields in New Brighton within four years. These three fields would allow for geographical distribution in the City, Sunnyside north, Pike Lake central aid Totem Pole in the south as well as identifying a field for each age distribution. The improvements proposed for Totem Pole field are significant and complement others happening around the northern metro area. The City of Vadnais Heights is installing several new basebalUsoftball fields in the next 2-3 years. Some of these are proposed to have grass infields and will hopefully be designated for Little League play. LLLL will make a proposal to the City of Shoreview within the next few months for a major improvement plan at Sitzer Park which will include lights, scoreboards and grass infields for that two-field complex. Arden Hills has received a fields development proposal that proposes a grass infield for the 11-12 year olds which will be very similar to that proposed for Totem Pole field. As it currently stands, no participant in LLLL plays a regular season game on an official little league field. With the proposed changes in New Brighton and the surrounding areas, we hope to have at least 5 grass infields within 2 years and significant improvements in all fields, top to bottom, within four years. As always, LLLL wishes to work with the Cities to ensure the safety of the children at the ballpark and to provide for them the highest quality facilities and experience. With these upgrades, Little Lakes Little League wants to make it very clear that we consider the funds used to purchase the additional fencing as gifts to the City of New Brighton and as such LLLL bears no responsiblity for their maintenence or use. LLLL will have no ownership of the materials and therefore does not expect exclusive access to the fields that are proposed to be upgraded. Like most fields in the LLLL system, we understand that these fields are multi-purpose and a variety of leagues and organizations share in their use.
