<br />? <br /> <br />Taking the existing Baseball Diamond #1 and exchanging it with Softball Diamond # 4 <br />at North Olmsted Park. <br />? <br /> <br />Diamond # 4 would become a premier baseball diamond <br />? <br /> <br />The Varsity Baseball boosters would raise funds (approximately $60,000) to create a <br />new elite field. <br />? <br /> <br />The field would have a different configuration than the current softball diamond. <br />Home plate would placed in a different location <br />? <br /> <br />This new field would feature a new backstop, sideline fencing, a home run fence, <br />players bench areas, grandstands and a dirt infield with drainage. <br />? <br /> <br />This new field would be completely enclosed and would be used by the Varsity team <br />during its Spring season in April and May. <br />? <br /> <br />Hot Stove and other groups with older aged (15years-18 years) could use the field <br />when the Varsity Season has been completed. <br />? <br /> <br />Diamond # 1 would become a softball diamond and NOSA would place its existing <br />leagues at this new location. <br />? <br /> <br />The North Olmsted Softball Organization (N.O.S.A.) welcomes this idea. They would <br />donate funds for a new backstop at Diamond # 1 and would donate an additional <br />$25,000 for future lighting of the diamond. It is closer in proximity to softball play on <br />Diamond # 2. <br />? <br /> <br />A second lighted field in North Olmsted would allow growth of adult softball <br />programs. Leagues are full to capacity and new teams have difficulty gaining access to <br />play. <br /> <br /> <br />OFFICIAL MINUTES: <br />th <br />Once the 4 member was present, the meeting was officially called to order and was roll-call <br />taken.

Roll-call taken; all in favor; motion passed. Bill inquired on <br />a time frame for this project. Todd stated that the fabricator felt if we had the bid specs ready by <br />st <br />the end of July, he could almost guarantee installation by November 1. This coincides with the <br />start of fall swim season. Council adjourns for the summer however with tomorrow’s meeting, <br />and they will need to approve proposal for bid. Lisa will attempt to get it on tomorrow’s docket, <br />however, she is not too confident they will pass it under suspension for three readings just hearing <br />nd <br />it tomorrow night. She feels we may be able to get it by the 2 meeting of August, and have the <br />specs ready to go the next day. This will be the intended goal. <br /> <br />Lisa was brought up to date on the NOHC proposal to refurbish the rink classroom and storage <br />area. They feel it can be done for a budget under $20,000.
