The Clerk asked about scheduling for the baseball diamonds, how should this be handled when requests are called into the office?

The Santos were inquiring about the possibility of having a baseball diamond put in for use this year.

Mr. Volk was instructed to go over and look at this area during the coming week and report back to the Park Board in May what he thinks needs to be done in order to get this area ready to be used as a Park._ Pie area is thought to be approximately 5 acres, so there should be no problem putting in at least one ball diamond.
