c. Ball field improvements. *Groveland: Looking at adding new fabric at wings and backstop, along with horizontal cross bracing to prevent curling up. Also add overhang to top of backstop. Improve field grading to 60-feet with base pegs. Bring in gravel to shorten infield and adjust field for drainage. Improve irrigation in field and around building. Do not know if we can add to the existing fencing, or if we need to replace the entire backstop. Silver View: Need new fabric and cross bracing for a few sections of backstop. Add 8-foot fencing between bench fencing and backstop fencing. Angle from 6-foot toward backstop ending about 2 feet on field side of backstop. Lambert Park: Add overhang to backstop. Add 8-foot fencing to the bench fencing on third base line toward backstop. Add 8-foot swing gate to bench fencing at first base line.
