<br />Parks
<br />Municipal and Central Ballparks
<br />Mr. Johnsen read his memorandum dated March 15, 1977, regarding the request for lighting improvements at Municipal
<br />and Central Ballparks for the Little League Baseball fields.
<br />Mr. Johnsen advised that the estimated cost for the requested improvements would be $12,000, with an additional
<br />estimated cost for labor of $500 per day, for two days at each park.
<br />Mr. Johnsen concluded there are no monies allocated for these improvements in the present budget, and Staff recom-
<br />mends the Council hold this request over for consideration as part of the 1977-78 Budget.
<br />Mrs. Kathy Jay, 22940 Victoria, Colton, President of the Colton Terrace Little League, requested that the City
<br />Council give very serious consideration to installing the necessary lighting required at these ball fields before
<br />the Little League season begins, mainly due to the safety factor involved.
<br />Mr. David Lozano, 826 West Louise Street, Colton, stated that he is a Safety Officer for Colton, and said it is
<br />very essential that the City Council have the proper lighting installed at these ball fields as soon as possible.
<br />Mr. Lozano said that each year the Recreation and Parks Commission, along with the various baseball leagues, have
<br />requested that the City Council do something about the lighting at these baseball fields, and each year this matter
<br />has been put aside.
<br />Mayor Beltran stated that inasmuch as there are several Grand Terrace residents present this evening, who are also
<br />interested in this matter, he would like to suggest that County Supervisor Dennis Hansberger be contacted and made
<br />aware of this need, and possibly, through a joint effort, something constructive can be accomplished.
<br />Discussion followed among Council Members, Staff and proponents regarding the requested lighting improvements, the
<br />costs involved, and contacting the County Supervisor representatives in this regard.
<br />Mayor Beltran said that he and the other Council Members are available to discuss this matter in greater detail and
<br />are willing to meet with all interested parties tomorrow evening at 7:00 p. m., in City Hall.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, authorizing Staff to prepare a letter to be signed by
<br />the Council Members and Presidents of the Colton and Grand Terrace Little Leagues, to be forwarded to County Super-
<br />visors Dennis Hansberger and Robert Townsend regarding lighting improvements at Central and Municipal Ballparks.
<br />Vote was unanimous.
<br />EXECUTIVE SESSION:
<br />The City Council adjourned to Executive Session at 9:07 p. m., to discuss Personnel Matters, and reconvened at 9:30
<br />p. m., all Members present.
