Our initial proposal was for the development of Hanson Park #3. However, based upon the conversations at that meeting it became clear that the i?arlcs and Recreation department did not feel that blaneon Park- #3 was developable to a level suitable for Little League play. Several altertzatie sites were discussed and suggested as possible replacements for development at Reason Park #3. These alternate sites were ligbview, Totem Pole Park and Vermont field. Additionally, a muhi-y°.,ar plan for,iieids partnership was discussed as a positive ste~.towaxds fields in tie City. As a consequence of those discussions, the k~i lds and Scheduling coinmtttee has reviewed each of those tiel , some for the fast time, others for the 4~ or 5~ time. We wotld like to present the following proposal. Year #1. Little Lakes Little League would like to develop Totem Pole Park for little league play. Totem Pole was selected because of several fPaders, Ampl° parking, Playground for small children, good drainage, are but a few of the tositive aspects of the field. The other two sites, Highview and Vermont wexe rejected for a variety of reasons, Par>dng, proadmity to streets, field tondidon, etc. LLLL would like to provide funding for dugout fencing, approximate cost, $1640.00. The League would ask the City to provide benches on both the fast and third base line and a hood for the backstop. approximate oust, $1500.04.
