BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In October of 1990, the City of Lodi signed a contract with Professional Sports Marketing, Inc. (PSM) for them to purchase and install scoreboards at the Grape Bowl and Kofu Park. As part of this contract, we gave them sponsor rights for twelve years from date of installation, etc. (See Exhibit A for details of contract.) The location of the boards was left to our discretion as we knew where to access electrical services, etc. The Stadium board was no problem since the scoreboard would go in the same location as the old board with electrical sery :e already in place. At Kofu Park, we close not to locate the board where it had been because we are currently relighting the ballfield and soccer field and given this opportunity we wanted to place the scoreboard in a spot where it could be used not only during baseball games, but during our soccer games. The new location also gave us an opportunity to coordinate the necessary electrical hookups with the new wiring locations as called for in the lighting project. We also had received over rhe years complaints from coaches, spectators, parents, and ball players that the "old scoreboard could not be seen because of it facing the late afternoon sun." "Therefore, whenever you install a new board, please make sure it is put in left field so sunlight won't be directly on the board and it can be usable during all hours of the day." (See Exhibit B Usage.) The Professional Sports Marketing, Inc. firm told us that the new board did have a sunscreen but that it still was not that effective when boards were placed in direct sunlight. W did not contact the residents on Cardinal Street asking if we could move the scoreboard. A simple solution is to leave it where it is at left field, plant fast-growing large canopy trees along the street (as is already the case from Ham Lane to a midway point down the street), and/or paint the back of the board, if necessary, a dark green to match tree cover in the area. APPROVE : r k91 THOMAS A. PETERSON L City Manager GC -1 Kofu Park Scoreboard ProjeL .teport October 2, 1991 Page Two To move the board, the total cost would be $5,000.00, plus additional trenching for electrical and coax cable wiring would be required. If it's at all possible, I would suggest leaving it right where it's at -- it is what our users have asked for over all these years and this was taken into account when we dealt with our current installation.
