This is in addition to the athletic field lighting that was <br /> installed in 2014. <br /> The 2014 Oak Knoll field lighting project was $135,000. Both Associations together donated a total of <br /> $73,000 to this project over a four year period from 2014 to 2017. This donation made up 54.1% of the <br /> estimated projct costs. <br /> The athletic field that is currently lighted is field#3. The proposal is to light field#4. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The cost of athletic field lighting is estimated at$118,000. The price is lower than 2014 because one of <br /> the posts from field 3 was designed to also be used on field 4. <br /> Staff will not know if the city can make a financial contribution until the Park Improvmeent Fund is <br /> reviewed by staff,the Commission and then approved by City Council. The 2018 Fund should be <br /> reviewed by the Commission for the first time at the September meeting. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Oak Knoll Athletic Complex Field Numbers <br /> rat , <br /> 1 � <br /> r1ATURE <br />
