LIGHTING FOR THE FIELDS <br />Steven Rekuski, Baseball Commissioner, came forward and expressed the possibility of lowering <br />the proposed cost of lighting of the athletic fields. <br />Rekuski stressed the need to lay down the wiring at this time, before the park is completed. He <br />stated that it would be twice as expensive to do after the park is completed. <br />Rekuski indicated that the lighting he was speaking of has a softer glow. He stated that although <br />the brightness would be lowered, the safety is still top notch. He added that the lighting would <br />be suitable for either baseball of softball. <br />Rekuski indicated that he did not want the sports programs in the City of St. Anthony to <br />dissipate, as he has seen happen in other cities. <br />Rekuski proposed that they install power supplies and footing and poles for the varsity fields <br />before the park construction begins. <br />Rekuski indicated that the proposal has been received by the Legion, and that they meet with <br />them to discuss any funding options on Tuesday night, March 12, 2002. He added that he has not <br />yet approached the VFW regarding any funding. <br />Vice Chair Koehntop asked how late he was proposing that the lights on the field stay on. <br />Rekuski stated that the varsity baseball coach would control that. <br />Chair Jindra stated her opinion which was that several issues already surrounded the lights, and <br />stated that Rekuski's proposal would need to be discussed at a future meeting. She added that <br />figures regarding the proposed lighting would be helpful at that time. Rekuski indicated that he <br />was working on figures at this time. <br />Commissioner Jenson asked how soon they would need to make a decision about lighting. Wong <br />stated that the construction target start date was April 15, 2002. <br />Chair Jindra indicated that the issue needed to be tabled at this point, until they have figures to <br />discuss. <br />Commissioner Wagner asked why they would not go with the less expensive lighting <br />automatically. Wong indicated that there exist three levels of lighting, and stated that they need <br />to look into whether the proposed lighting by Rekuski was adequate. <br />The Commission thanked Rekuski for his proposal. <br />
