City Council meeting of October 19, 1992 Page In response, staff has received quotes from three firms for construction of an outfield fence for the softball field. The WEAL School District and the Hugo Lions have been contacted to determine if they would be willing to participate in the construction of this fence. Goth have indicated an unwillingness to do so. If this matter is of Council concern, staff recommends accepting the low bid of $3,246.50 from Midwest Fence for construction of a 6' chain link: outfield fence. Payment of the fence would be made from the park fund, which was a concern of some of the Council. After discussion of this matter, the Council felt that they needed more information before making a decision. Leroux made motion, Miron seconded, to delay action on this matter until the meeting of November 16, 1992, at which time the following information is to be provided: sketch plan with the right-of-way lines, the park limits, and the ballfield limits, with the houses shown.
