St. Anthony Brightonbm New <br /> INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 282 <br /> March 4, 2009 <br /> City of St. Anthony Mayor and City Council <br /> Planning Commissioners <br /> Parks Commissioners <br /> RE: Signs on the Varsity Baseball Field <br /> Our school board is supportive of the installation of signs with advertising on the varsity baseball <br /> field as a means to generate income for field improvements. The signs would advertise local <br /> businesses, would be tasteful, and would only be up for a 120 day period during the summer <br /> months. We are very fortunate to have one of the premier high school baseball fields in the state <br /> of Minnesota. The income generated from the signs will supplement all of the volunteer labor <br /> that we receive from the St. Anthony Baseball Association (SABA) and allow us to continue to <br /> provide a first class playing field. <br /> The varsity field is used by a wide variety of groups—including our town ball team, the St. <br /> Anthony Hogs, our senior men's league team—the Norsemen, and several others. With the <br /> extensive use of the fields to these groups, we need to continue the high level of maintenance to <br /> keep our field in great shape. This is done outside of the school board budget as resources are <br /> not available for the level of field maintenance that we have become accustomed to at Palm <br /> Field. <br /> We very much appreciate your cooperation on allowing for a temporary installation of signage at <br /> Palm Field. Your assistance will allow us to maintain a source of community pride in our varsity <br /> baseball field—home to the State Champion Huskies! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> c� K --A� <br /> Dr.Rod K.Thompson <br /> Superintendent <br /> Dr.Rod Thompson,Superintendent ♦ rthompson@stanthony.k12.mn.us <br /> 3303 33`d Ave NE ♦ St. Anthony,MN 55418 ♦ p: 612.706.1000 f 612.706.1020 <br />
