Steve Polasek, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Approve SPDC Matching Funds request from the Southlake
Girls Softball Association in the amount of $5,000 for the
purchase of tournament play outfield fencing
Action
Requested:
City Council approval of the SPDC Matching Funds request in the
amount of $5,000 (project total $10,000) to purchase temporary
tournament play fencing for the softball fields at Bob Jones Park.
Background
Information:
The Southlake Girls Softball Association (SGSA) has requested
matching funds to purchase temporary tournament play outfield
fences for fields #1 and # 2 at Bob Jones Park. These fences will
temporarily convert the two adult fields into youth fields. When not
in use the fences will be stored in existing storage facilities at the
Bob Jones Park concession building. The request would allow a
safer and more aesthetic solution for converting the existing adult
fields to youth fields during tournament play occurring
approximately ten times per year.
Financial
Considerations:
SPDC Matching Funds in the amount of $200,000 are identified in
the proposed Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget. To date, $26,838 has
been allocated for other projects. If approved in the amount of
$5,000 ($10,000 total), an unencumbered balance of $163,162
would remain.
Financial Impact:
Not Applicable.
Citizen Input/
