Regular Meeting - May 20, 1987
Regarding the request to conduct a baseball tournament July
19 -22, 1987 on two fields and for lights to be kept on past
10:00 p.m., Director Kobett informed the Commission that in
granting the request the Commission would need to consider
the subject of personnel costs to keep the Park staffed
after the normal closing time.
In the discussion that followed, Commissioner Shaw ques-
tioned the use of lights on a Sunday and stated that this
was not in keeping with City policy. He stated that the
League should be notified that the lights would not be made
available.
Commissioner Crump stated that staff should advise the League
that they can begin earlier on that Sunday.
Commissioner Shaw moved that the Commission approve the use
as requested and for the extension of the time for the
lights, except for on Sunday July 19, and subject to the
required Certificate of Insurance and standard personnel
costs. Commissioner Burlingame seconded the motion and it
was unanimously carried.
Regarding the request for the use of the south diamond on
July 23, 24 & 25, 1987 to conduct a softball tournament and
for use of the lights until 11:00 p.m., Commissioner
Burlingame asked why the games would go until 11:00.
Director Kobett stated that the League doesn't want to go
past 10:00 and that they will do everything possible not to
exceed the 10:00 closing time. However, he stated that
past experience has shown that the tournament could go as
late as 11:00.
Commissioner Shaw stated that, for future reference, he
would request that staff report back how late games last
and whether or not any complaints are received from
neighbors with regard to the Park being open that late.
Commissioner Burlingame moved that the Commission grant the
request subject to the proper insurance requirements and
personnel costs. Commissioner Shaw seconded the motion and
it was unanimously carried.

THE SNACK BAR AT LIVE OAK PARK FROM SEPTEMBER 8, 1987 TO
JANUARY 31, 1988 AND TO CONDUCT A PANCAKE BREAKFAST AND
TEAM PHOTOS ON SEPTEMBER 19, 1987.
Director Kobett stated that this item was before the
Commission as it exceeds the 90 -day period that the
Department is authorized to process requests and that the
request involves the sale of food items and breakfast
tickets. He stated that the use presented no Departmental
conflict and that it has been conducted in the past in a
satisfactory manner. He suggested that if approved it be
