—
PREPARED BY: Ron Williamson , Director,. Parks and Recreation
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Citv Council allow ?arks and Recreation
Department to standardize and purchase four (4)
Nevco Scoreboards for the Complex, Armory and
Zupo Parks and allocate $7500 from the Capital Outlay Reserve
for the shortfall.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Approximately a year and a half ago, when
preparing for the 1988-89 budge:, I approached
Jerry Glenn, Assistant City Manager, with a
supplemental request to purchase four (4) scoreboards: two (2) for
the softball complex, one (1) for Armory Park, ,and one (1) for Zupo
field. Mr. Glenn suggested that I hold off in this particular year's
budget but submit the above during the 1989-90 year, and there basically
would not be a problem getting then through at that time.
In-between that year's period, I had contacted Nevco Scoreboard Company,
since we have had tremendously good results with their board in the
Grape Bowl, in addition to their being responsive to maintenance service
when needed, in order to get pricing and. references. In using this
information we decided on the scoreboards we wanted for our various
facilities and verified operational soundness and services with other -
cities.
in addition, we came up with the idea of approaching various local
merchants, banks, clubs, etc. to see if they would assist us by
purchasing, by sponsorship, these scoreboards. A contact with a local
businessman, who very enthusiastically wanted to get involved and help,
brought us three (3) scoreboard sponsors: Wentland-Snider Investments,
California Waste, and F & M Bank, and. a total of $10,500.00 toward the
purchase of our boards:
The scoreboards we wish to purchase are:
(3) Model 1015 4174 Green Nevco $12,000.00
(1) Model 1002 #74 Green Nevco 6,000.00
$18,000.00
The above price includes the boards, 2 w.re cables, score panel. with
carrying case and logo; lettering sponsor boards, as well. as tax and
shipping.

As you can see, there is a $7,500.00 shortage, which would mean
securing funding from the genera fund or some other City account.
(I am still working on other sponsors and may be able in the near
future to recapture a lion's share of this money.)
We are asking you to approve the purchase of these boards and to
allow us to "standardize" on the Nevco scoreboards. They have
proven over the years (15 on the stadium board) to be very durable,
functioning well, and service, when needed, has been outstanding
and prompt. The Nevco Company ,gives a five-year (5) guarantee,
24-hour service on the control panel and module(s), which are the
only working parts of the board, and are LL/CSA (Underwriters
Laboratory listed), a safety feature not offered by other scoreboard
companies.
Your approval of the above and standardization on the Nevco Scoreboard
would assist our efforts to secure t_ie boards and have them installed
this fall.
Thank you for your consideration
