purchase and construction of batting cages at Bob Jones Park softball fields. Deputy Director of
Community Services Steve Polasek presented this item to the Corporation. The Southlake Girls Softball
Association seeks SPDC Matching Funds for the purchase and construction of four batting cages at the
Bob Jones Park softball fields. The proposal would allow for construction of four chain link batting
cages to include interior netting, clay surfacing, pitching rubbers, home plates and additional walkways
and fencing. The batting cages were included as part of the recent site plan revisions at Bob Jones
Park. If approved, the City share of the project would be up to $22,500 from the SPDC Matching Funds
line item. The Parks Board recommended approval (8-0) at their March 8, 2004 meeting.
Board Member White stated she did not think the GSSA had raised their portion of the money as of yet.
She does not believe it is right to flag this money now when others might request it.
Brent Strehlow, 210 Swallow, Board member for GSSA stated that they do have the money and are
ready to get started as soon as they have their approval. He said they want to be done by May 1, 2004.
