Last summer, 1993 Mike Walston met with Steve <br />Dazenski, Mary Johnson and me regarding the problems of foul <br />balls during baseball play at Greenfield Park. Mike worked out a <br />netting scheme that would include the installation of 4 42' red <br />cedar poles (class 5) and 260' of galvanized steel aircraft cable <br />and netting. The netting would be attached with clips that could <br />be removed during winter months if desired. <br />Although the netting may not catch every foul ball, it would <br />provide a catch for those balls that go directing up and over, up <br />to the 20' over and above the 16 ' high backstop. It is <br />predicted that 80-90% of the foul balls would be stopped. <br />Even though this may not be a foolproof remedy for all the foul <br />balls that occur at Greenfield Park, I do believe that it is a <br />good faith effort on the part of the City of Mounds View to do <br />everything possible to try to remedy the problem of foul balls <br />going into the backyards of residents abutting Greenfield Park. <br />%la ry <br />It F(Y)NIMENDA110N: <br />To approve the use of 1993 Recreation <br />Activity Funds to carry over to 1994 for the <br />purpose of purchasing and installing a <br />netting system at Greenfield Park baseball <br />field, not to exceed $4,500. <br />or <br />tion and Forestry <br />
