11-17-03 Regular Council Minutes Page 14 ROUGHDRAFT -NOT REVIEWED OR APPROVED BY COUNCIL baseline or the third baseline depending on where you put home plate. But once you flip the field over, we've got to look at what the lighting change is going to be, what that cost is going to entail. But I think we need to look very seriously at doing that because it presents the opportunity then on the outfield which will now be close to S.O.M. and close to the residences there. We can add landscaping as well. So what I told Bill is envision if we could do that-the sense of landscaping on the east side and on the west side so you have a feeling that you are really amidst a park that is on both sides of the road. Again, part of this is looking at a couple of potential directions we could take. Mr. Marquardt asked, was there any other company other than Rhodes Dahl considered? Mayor Rinker said no, there wasn't. I will be very blunt. The reason why--I've run into Bill on a couple of instances where he did work with the Pattie Group and just having talked to him I thought here's a chance for somebody who is very conversant. He joined Rhodes Dahl just this year. They are the ones who have been involved with the Botanical Garden. I felt that what would be an opportune time for him to be able to address this group is to present the package really just for this proposal. At that point, I think, candidly, if you want to say look, we really should shop around for a couple of other people, then we can do it. Again, for me, it is starting somewhere. It is someone who is a proven commodity. I think you'll find that this is a person who is really quite capable. He is very familiar. He is very well known within the Chagrin Valley area. A conservancy of people are familiar with him. But, no; he's the only one. Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any further comments or questions. There were none.
