Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 02-02-11 Included in the packet was a letter received from Centennial Lakes Little League requesting use of the ball fields and facilities at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the 2011 season. Mr. Pat Mahr met with Mr. Paul Palzer & Mr. Dallas Larson and worked out an agreement for the grooming of the fields, basically Public Works will continue with the same service as they have in past years and if additional mowing is needed Centennial Little League will take care of it. Centennial Little League still plans to move the lights, fence and scoreboards with no cost to the City. Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Vice-Chairperson Grahek to recommend City Council approve the request from Centennial Lakes Little League to use the three baseball and softball fields and facilities located at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the summer months of 2011 beginning April 1 through August 15, Monday through Friday from 4:00 p.m. until dark with the maintenance agreement worked out with the Public Works Staff and Centennial Little League in regards to grooming the fields prior to games. All in Favor. Motion passed unanimously. The committee requested Ms. Stephan contact Centennial Little League to determine what their needs were going to be for nighttime play under the lights, for instance how late in the evening and whether they would be holding tournaments. Music in the Parks Mr. Tom Lee has said he would organize the Teen Bands again if that is what the committee would like, as well as perform one night himself either solo acoustical or with his band. Ms. Stephan has asked Ms. LaValle looking for input as to children's bands, country music bands, bad weather policy and availability of the bands she is involved with. Ms. LaValle supplied information on all the above which Ms. Stephan passed on to the committee. Ms. LaValle stated rainouts are handled one of two ways: some pay regardless, so expect you to show up, and then if it is a rainout, you get paid, and leave. The other way is to say if the concert gets cancelled 4 hours before downbeat, early enough to avoid travel, or setup, then it is cancelled with no payment.
