Coppell Middle School - 1992 Ball Field Improvements
The purpose of this memorandum is to help identify improvements
that staff shall be implementing at the Coppell Middle School ball
fields during 1992. These improvements would be funded through the
1991-92 Parks and Recreation operating budget, as opposed to the
Parks Special Revenue Fund which provided for ball field
construction in 1991.
During the budget process .for the 1991-92 fiscal year staff
included improvements to the existing restroom/concession building
in order that it is operational for the 1992 athletic season. Among
the improvements needed for this facility are:
-- Repair or Replacement to the existing septic system.
-- Painting and repair to the restroom interiors.
-- Painting and repair to the restroom/concession exterior.
These improvements were approved in the 1991-92 operating budget in
the amount of $7,475.00 found within the building maintenance
account.
It should also be noted that the Coppell Baseball Association
requested that improvements be considered at the Middle School
Complex during the October'1, 1991 Park Board meeting. During this
meeting, staff explained that funding was not available through the
Park Special Revenue Fund or the Park Donation Fund because of the
Coppell Community Park development. Among the improvements listed
were:
-- Repair of restrooms at Middle School Field #1.
-- Extension of dead ball fences on new four-plex.
-- Provide water for concession stand.
-- Provide sufficient electricity to new concession stand.
-- Provide backstop foul ball guard on new four-plex.
-- Provide outfield fences to four-plex.
-- Provide additional fencing to dugouts on new fields.
In an effort to try to work with the Baseball Association in
resolving some of these projects, staff has examined these requests
and found that four (4) of these items can be addressed from the
operating budget. These items are:
-- Repair of the existing restrooms.
-- Provide water for new concession stand.
-- Provide sufficient electricity to new concession stand.
-- Provide backstop foul ball guard on new four-plex.
By utilizing Park Division staff to accomplish most of the labor
required for these projects, I feel that sufficient funding is
available to complete these projects without negatively affecting
the operating budget. Attached is projected cost summary for the
four projects.
Staff will consult with you within the next 3-5 days to get your
input on these projects. I will also draft a letter for your
review to the Coppell Independent School District regarding the
installation of the sanitary sewer line at the Middle School.
