agreement with. the City. Councilman Quast moved this item be tabled as
the Council, having just received the information, had not had sufficient

5. Little League Fields Renovation
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from the Park Commission regarding a
citizen proposal to renovate the Lincoln Park Little League fields through
donated funds, labor and materials. The Cormnission requested the Council
grant permission to the citizen group(which has requested to begin work
irmnediately) to proceed with the project. S. McLaughlin of the Park Commission,
stated that he, foresaw that the timing of the project could i~ped~ its
completion due to wet weather conditions and inability of the ground to
currently support this.tyPe of activity; thus leaving Little League short
of playing fields for next season. After further Council and staff discuss-
ion, C. Thompson, a Little League coach, invited the Council and staff to
approach the Little League Board.with the full ramifications of beginning
construction at this time of year. The Council, though appreciative of the
volunteers' efforts, agreed that further inquiries should be made and re-
quested staff bring this before the Council for consideration at its next
regular session.
