COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and
specifications for the above project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project will replace the existing backstop at
Zupo Field with a higher backstop. The existing backstop has been in use for
many years and is in need of major repairs. The new backstop will be 40 feet
high and will provide additiona safety for the spectators. Ball clubs
playing in the park have also been complaining about foul balls that are lost
because our backstop is too low. The 40 -foot backstop will keep more balls
in the field and save teams the cost of replacing them. This project will
also install fencing around the left field bullpen area and the field
drinking fountains to provide additional protection for the ball players.
