8.B.16.e.2. TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO MAKE
FIELD IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING BASEBALL
FIELD AT JAMES RIVER HIGH SCHOOL
u
Mr. Sowder asked for a clarification regarding the statement
in the item that the transfer of funds is contingent upon the
field being available to Parks and Recreation for use. He
stated the athletic boosters raised $170,000 to transfer the
old junior varsity field to the new varsity field, and
characteristically not many varsity fields are available for
parks and recreation use.
In response to Mr. Sowder's question, Ms. Dickson explained
that staff is asking for use of the field even though
typically varsity fields at high schools are not made
available for parks and recreation use. She further
explained staff certainly would not schedule anything to
conflict with the school's athletic schedule.
In response to Mr. Sowder's and Mrs. Humphreys questions,
Ms. Dickson explained the $6,000 would be coupled with $4,000
transferred previously from the District Improvement Fund.
She also stated the athletic booster for the school has
raised the majority of the funds needed for the improvements
of the baseball field and they are working with Parks and
Recreation for additional funding.
Mr. King requested the contingency placed in the request for
allowing use of the varsity fields be removed.
Mrs. Humphrey stated a policy needed to be in place so use of
varsity fields does not come up in future requests.
On motion of Mr. Sowder, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, the Board
transferred $6,000 from the Midlothian District Improvement
Fund to the Parks and Recreation Department to make field
improvements to the existing baseball field at James River
High School with the amendment of removing the contingency
for field use by Parks and Recreation.
