Our initial proposal was far the development of Hanson Park #3. Hovr~ever, based upon the conversations at that meeting it became clear that the Parts and Recreation department did not feel that Han.eon Park #3 was de~~etopable to a Level suitable for Little League play. Several alternate sites were ~ and suggested as possible replacements for development at Hanson Park #3. 'These alternate sites were Figllviev~, Totem Pole Park and Vermont field. Additionally, a multi y.,ar plan for,fieio+s paztnership was discussed as a positive step.towards fields in the City. As a consequence of those discussions, t<he k~~i Ids and Scl3eduling committee has reviewed each of those fields, some for the fast time, others for the 4~ or 5~ time. We would like to present the following proposal. Year # 1. Little Lakes Linde League would lilae to develop Totem Pole Park for iiSlle league play. Totem Pole was selected ,because of serezal factors. Ample parking, playground for small children, good drainage, are but a few of the positive a;>pects of the field. The other two sites, Htghview and Vermont were rejected for a vanety of reasons, patkinR, proadmity to streets, fie3d condition, etc. LLLL would like to provide funding for dugout fencing. approximate cost, $1600.00. The League would ask the City to provide benches on both the fast and third base line and a hood for the backstop. approximate oost. $ 1500.00.
