FIR <br />-St, Anthony ik,,, New righton <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 />Dr. Rod K.
