Centennial Lakes Little League Request for Use of Ball Fields for 2009 Season Included in the packet for December 2008 was a request from Centennial Lakes Little League to use the ball fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for 2009. Before making a recommendation to City Council the Parks & Recreation Committee wanted to know exactly what ‘the same service provided by Public Works Staff in regards to grooming the fields prior to games’ involves. Ms. Stephan requested information from Public Works. Per Mr. Tedd Peterson, Public Works: As a staff we were directed to groom the ball fields Monday through Thursday. Grooming the ball fields took about an hour a day. Just a note, Centennial Little League purchased a new groomer for the City in the spring of 2008.
