APB' 2 7 I994 Date: April 27, 1994 To: Lake Elmo Mayor Wyn John and City Council Members. Lake Elmo, MN From: Local 13 Year Old Traveling Baseball Team. Subject: Waiver of light fees at Lake Elmo Lions Park. Over seventy thirteen year old baseball players from the Stillwater Area attended tryouts for the local traveling team. Fourteen of these players were selected and represent the best baseball players in the Stillwater area. All fourteen players are on the Honor Role at Oakland or Stillwater Junior High Schools. They will be competing against the best baseball players from surrounding communities. ie. White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, Oakdale, Mahtomedi, etc. We have arranged for the Lions Park Field to be our home baseball field. We will also be hosting a sixteen team tournament the middle of June at the Lions Park and VFW Fields in Lake Elmo. Teams from the metropolitan and outstate area are registered. These home field games and tournament games will bring a number of people to Lake Elmo who undoubtedly will utilize local restaurants, lounges, and shops. Each player pays $80.00 to play on the team and is required to raise a minimum of $55.00 in a fund raiser to pay for league fees, uniforms, equipment, and field improvements. We are asking that the City of Lake Elmo consider waiving the $15.00/night light fee to help these players and families keep their costs down. We will need to increase fees if the city elects not to waive this fee. The team members and parents have been involved with field improvements at the Lions Field and will continue to work to improve the field throughout the summer. This team will be an excellent representative for the City of Lake Elmo and the Stillwater Area Baseball Program. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. If you have any questions or comments the coaches names and telephone numbers are listed below. Sincerely, Rich Pearson 439-8114 Tom Anderson 777-3600 John Jordan 436-7345 Mitch McKenzie 430-3596
