AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ItemNo.: Meeting Date: October 25, 1993 E U G E N E C I T Y C 0 U N C I L Department: Public Works ITEM TITLE: Ballfield Lighting Alternatives ACTION REQUESTED: Adoption of staff recommendation to install lighting at the Ascot Ballfield Complex. OR Direction to staff on process for placement of a lighting system at an alternative ballfield. BRIEFING STATEMENT: On October 12th, Public Works held a Public Forum regarding the on -going project to install lights at Ascot Ballfield. This Public Forum was held due to nearby resident's objections regarding the appropriateness of installing lights within this neighborhood. Most of the concerns raised were about existing impacts the neighbors endure due to the nearby ballfield complex. The majority of those present felt these problems would be unacceptably increased if the hours of ballfield use were to be increased through use of lights. Responding to the request of Councilor Nicholson, staff has prepared an analysis of alternative ballfields available which address some of the questions expressed at the October 12th Public Forum. This analysis is contained in the attached memo to Council titled, "Lighted Ballfield Alternatives Analysis ". Staff has committed to keep interested parties and neighbors to Ascot informed regarding process and decisions which will affect this project. Pending direction from the City Council, staff will forward copies of the Council's instructions to staff and the staff memo to Council, " Ballfield Alternative Analysis" to those who spoke at the October 12th Public Forum, those living within 200 feet of Ascot Ballfield, and the Harlow Neighbors Association.
