5. Bayside #1 Infield Maintenance Update — The current plan for Bayside #1 is minimal at this
time. The field plays and drains well. It is one of the first fields playable after the winter
months. The field will be prepped as it is each year by nail dragging it to break up the
granite, add new material and drag it until it is as level as possible. The outfield edge will
also be cleaned up as usual. No problems are expected with this field and with the new
fencing, the outfield will be re -seeded, the grandstands and restrooms have recently been
painted. The field should be in great shape this spring.
The Bocce courts are still in the works. The Lions Club is looking at this as a possible project
for them. They may be able to supply all the necessary material and Parks will construct it.

working on a matrix of field fees. Notice will be given to the user groups prior to
implementation of any fees.

pays the City $100,000 annually.
Commissioner Reports
1. Commissioner Hesselgren asked staff if motorized scooters were allowed in Washington Park
as she has seen them zipping through the park at various times. Staff confirmed that
motorized scooters are not allowed in the park.
Hesselgren also inquired as to why sod has been planted at the large picnic area in
Washington Park. Staff reported that the Parks Supervisor opted for sod because it keeps
down on the dust and makes for a more pleasurable environment for the community.

Pacific Fine Arts would be handling the event this year and that all was on track for the event
on June 12-13, 2010.
