Teams consist of MV, NB, SV and AH <br />residents. Would like to see improvements at the ball fields. Looking at infield drainage issues <br />and tree overhang as well as fencing for player protection and ball placement. Would like <br />dugout covers! <br />Palm suggested inviting Mike to our tours of the parks in the spring, perhaps we have an earlier <br />park tour before March meeting (weather dependent). <br />Wake Wiesner suggests getting a prioritized list of needs and issues. Safety would come first. <br />Kroeger: some items could be done as field maintenance (drainage) and tree trimming this <br />spring before park tour and before season starts. <br />Don Peterson: Get an itemized list about each park from IBL to City Staff and they can bring <br />concerns back to PRF Commission with costs and timelines. Jox Boxes are put in on purpose <br />for adult leagues and older students, but may impact younger players. <br />Arel: Some items we have addressed in the past, but may need to be revisited. <br />6.
