City Council Action Update <br /> <br />5.1. Softball Complex Lighting Proposal <br /> <br />The City Administrator informed the Recreation Board that the City <br />Council. after a lengthy debate. approved the purchase of softball <br />lights at the four field softball complex. The proposal approved by the <br />City Council calls for the City to purchase and install the lights and <br />have the softball organization pay the City $10.500.00 per year. until <br />all of the expenses incurred for the softball lighting system has been <br />repaid to the City. Additionally. the softball organization will pay <br />the City $125.00 per team for any team in excess of 45 to help finance <br />the field maintenance expenses associated with softball activity. <br /> <br />5.2. <br /> <br />Handke Pit Warming House <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The City Administrator noted that no funds are being included within the <br />1989 City budget for the construction of a warming house at the Handke <br />Pit. Accordingly. it is unlikely that such a warming house will be <br />financed with City funds before the 1989/90 winter season. <br /> <br />5.3. <br /> <br />Cross Country Skiing Proposal <br /> <br />The City Administrator informed the Recreation Board that discussions <br />have taken place with the Golf Course Board of Directors about the <br />possibility of developing a cross country skiing course. jointly on the <br />golf course property and the City's Woodland Trails park property. It <br />appears that such a proposal is acceptable to both the City and the golf <br />course and the City Council will be considering the purchase of cross <br />country skiing trail grooming equipment for approximately $7.000.00 at a <br />future City Council meeting. The golf course parking lot would be <br />maintained by the City in order to provide access to the trails. <br /> <br />5.4. Hillside Park Ground Water Testing <br /> <br />The City Administrator informed the Recreation Board that the City <br />Council had authorized the City landfill consultants to conduct testing <br />around Hillside Park in the area where the former City dump site was <br />located. This testing was requested in order to analyze the water <br />quality in the area to determine if any contaminants exist. This is <br />being done as a protective measure in the event that future residential <br />development takes place around this park. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5.5. County property south of Hillside Park <br /> <br />The City <br />planning <br />south of <br />pursuing <br />Park. <br /> <br />Administrator informed the Recreation Board that the County is <br />to sell its landlocked 20 acres of property that lies directly <br />Hillside Park. The Recreation Board expressed no interest in <br />the purchase of this property for an addition to Hillside <br />
