(SR 04:292) Jim Wolfe, Director of Parks and Community Services, presented the staff report. Warren McClung, RRM Design Group, reviewed the design that has been supported by the various community and sports groups. Mr. Brozosky asked if lacrosse could be played at any one of the three fields as proposed in the design plan? Mr. McClung said lacrosse could be played on the two larger fields. Mr. Wolfe pointed out the sports groups will configure its use to the available space. As space is allocated to various leagues, the lines are painted on the fields. He noted that the four-foot fencing near an existing walkway to the north and south end to the school. The thought process was to try and get traffic to use the parking off of Dorman. The idea of the fencing was to deal with the neighbors' concerns to eliminate the traffic and parking along Payne Road and Denker Drive. The Parks and Recreation Commission supported the basic improvements and suggested that the decision for the fencing be deferred. The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed sharing the cost of these improvements with the School District. The Commission recommended that the City Council split the funding for the improvements; two-thirds by the City and one-third by the School District. The basic improvements include irrigation, grading, minor soil amendments, and upgrading the water service to ensure there is adequate water coverage, particularly during the warmer months. The projected cost for the basic improvements is approximately $2.25 million dollars. The other portion of this project is to consider putting in a subdrainage system similar to what was done at Val Vista Park. Much of the cost associated with putting in a subdrainage system is the importing of the soil. A subdrainage system would add approximately $1.8 million dollars to the overall Pleasanton City Council 12 12/07/04 Minutes
