He <br />discussed the concrete slabs and cages that would be needed for the throw areas. He explained the <br />broomball area would be constructed in the winter months and taken down during the track and <br />field season. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned how tall the protective wall or safety net would be. <br /> <br />Jay Pomeroy indicated the netted cage would keep all hammer throw and discus within the netted <br />cage area. He stated this was an NCAA requirement. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant inquired if the drainage of the football field was being altered. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy reported the drainage was being changed, modified and expanded. He explained <br />drainage was a significant part of this project. He stated he was going through the Rice Creek <br />Watershed approval process. He noted the turf was considered pervious. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes requested further information regarding the sound system. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy explained the existing sound system would be replaced with a better aimed sound <br />system.

She <br />recommended specific hours of operation be set. In addition, she supported the applicant <br />providing the City with additional information on the specific sound system that would be <br />installed.
