NTEATNIAL LA-i( -E EsLITTLELEAGUE October 26, 2010 City of Centerville Honorable Mary Capra, Mayor Centerville City Council Members Centerville City Hall 18,80 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 Centennial Lakes Little League would like to thank the City of Centerville for The opportunity to explore the possibility of converting LaMotte #1 baseball field to a grass infield and raised pitching mound. This will help us with our shortage of mounded fields for our major baseball program. Moreover, we would also like to move in the outfield fence to a distance of 225 feet per Little League guidelines. Additional fencing from the dugouts to third base and first base would be for spectator safety. We would also like to move the scoreboard and outfield light poles in as well. Centennial Lakes Little League will be responsible for the above items including the costs of the entire grass infield and prep work which we will be using A & L Sod Company for. We recommend that the City of Centerville add more drain the to LaMotte I to ensure better drainage. We also agree to mow the infield grass at LaMotte I and groom and maintain the pitching mound. We would ask the City of Centerville to groom the infields on all three LaMotte fields on a daily basis to maintain the integrity of the new red rock aglime. We have found at our other fields (e.g. Lexington and Cark Eck parks) that proper regular grooming keeps the fields at their maximum efficiency. Centennial Lakes Little League has provided a new drag to the City just a few years ago with the agreement that they would be groomed regularly. If the City agrees to this we would be willing to help pay for the red rock aglime by contributing $3,500.00 payable after our registration (January 15, 2011). We look forward to working with the City of Centerville to make LaMotte Park a family friendly facility for the children in our community. Thank you, Patrick Mahr President Centennial Lakes Little League
