Ballfield Lighting Timeline <br /> 1. Last Winter - Light Fixture blown down from pole at Kincaid Field. <br /> Maintenance staff requested a consultant analysis of all the ballfield <br /> lighting systems. <br /> 2. Early in June - Staff met to discuss the Consultant Report - At this <br /> meeting we discussed lighting Ascot instead of Kincaid - Concluded that <br /> no recommendation could be made without additional information. Asked <br /> Engineering to design the systems and prepare cost estimates. The issue <br /> at this time was two fold: <br /> 1. What really would the costs be? <br /> 2. Would we have the needed funds in the site improvements category <br /> of the capital budget. <br /> 3. Felt this was questionable <br /> 4. August 3rd - Received Engineering Estimate/ Decided funding may be <br /> sufficient. Decided to advertise the project to receive actual costs <br /> pending no objection from senior management or the Council. <br /> Committee: Myself, PWM - Maintenance Support Manager <br /> Doug Post, - Recreation Division Director <br /> Dick Morgan, - Parks Maintenance Manager <br /> John Etter, - Parks Planner <br /> Louie Kroeck, - PWE - Landscape Architect <br /> 4. August 6th - Placed an article in the Council Newsletter on Ballfield <br /> lighting including the decision to place the lights at Ascot instead of <br /> replacing them at Kincaid. <br /> 5. August 24th - Staff discussion on if lighting Ascot was a change in the <br /> way the field was used. Decided an increase of the time the field was <br /> available did not constitute a change in type of use. <br /> 6. Sept 9th Received Bid results from the contractor. <br /> 7. Sept 24th - Letter to abutting property owners notifying them the <br /> project was about to begin. <br />
