Update on Recent City Council Action <br /> 5 .1 Softball Complex Lighting Proposal <br /> The City Council met on August 29 , 1988 , to review <br /> various issues related to the 1989 City Budget. <br /> Because of: 1 . ) the timing requirements in order for <br /> softball lights to become a reality prior to the 1989 <br /> softball season; 2 .) the previous Recreation Board <br /> review and recommendation on the softball lighting <br /> proposal; and 3 .) the timing when final City Council <br /> action is required to take place on the 1989 City <br /> Budget, I requested that Dave Anderson attend this <br /> 8/29/88 City Council meeting to present the softball <br /> complex lighting proposal. The proposal that was <br /> presented by Dave was the identical proposal reviewed <br /> by the Recreation Board at previous meetings. <br /> The City Council debated the softball lighting proposal <br /> for approximately 90 minutes before approving a motion, <br /> on a 4-1 vote, which called for the City to purchase <br /> and install the softball lighting system and for the <br /> Softball organization to pay the City $10 ,500 .00 per <br /> year until all of the expense incurred for the softball <br /> lighting system had been repaid to the City. <br /> Additionally, the Softball organization must pay the <br /> City $125 .00 per team for any team in excess of 45 to <br /> help finance the City maintenance expenses associated <br /> with the Softball Complex. For the next six to eight <br /> years the additional expense incurred by the City is in <br /> the $5 ,000 .00 range.
