Concerning details of your letter: <br /> 1. The current backstop/ballfield alignment could be used initially as is, allowing you to <br /> start up next spring on that field if it works for you. It is an old backstop which we anticipated <br /> near the end of its useful (safe) life. We do want to rebuild in the new location at the time of <br /> replacement. We do not have funding to do this at this time. <br /> 4. Existing irrigation is a quick coupler system and inoperable. Wires have been run <br /> from the Hilyard Center in that direction for an eventual new automatic system. <br /> 6. Hopefully the south field placement can be such to avoid having to cut trees. <br /> All the other points (commitments on the part of Babe Ruth) sound good. There was comment <br /> here that Babe Ruth should assume liability for issues relating to the program during their <br /> program hours on the field, as well as for issues that involve maintenance for whatever periods <br /> they take responsibility. As this moves ahead and toward a written agreement that gives official <br /> direction to proceed, you should work with Dick Morgan for the operational issues, and me on <br /> the layout and wetland issue (until I find other staff who might assist with the latter). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> h 4V <br /> John Etter, Principal Landscape Architect <br /> Parks Planning, Public Works Maintenance <br /> cc: Dick Morgan <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> Jim Johnson <br />
