The first phase which the <br />Commission would like started in 1996 consists of a four ballfield wheel. The <br />second phase to be completed at a later date consists of two ballfields. An <br />additional phase(s) would include soccer fields. <br /> <br />Phil Hals has done some prehminary design work and has estimated <br />development costs for the first two phases of this project. The cost for phase <br />one is approximately $200,000; this estimate does not include hghts, <br />bleachers, a scoreboard or a concession building. 1996 expenditures would <br />include grading, well, pump and irrigation totaling $73,000. The remainder <br />of the costs would be incurred in 1997. Phil has indicated that the fields may <br />b__~e usable in 1997 ff construction starts soon; ff not, the fields would not be <br />available for use until 1998. <br /> <br />The costs for phase two are estimated at $108,000. The timing of phase two <br />is unknown at this time. Costs and timing of future phases for soccer fields <br />have not yet been determined. <br /> <br />A proposal for funding the field development was submitted by Park and <br />Recreation Commissioners Dana Anderson and Dave Anderson. The <br />proposal indicates that youth baseball and girls softball would contribute <br />$15,000 per year for four years and adult softball would contribute $5,000 <br />per year for four years. The proposal requests that the remaining $120,000 <br />be funded by the city. Based on this proposal the city would initially fund <br />the entire project and be repaid $80,000 as stated above. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
