Goldstein, dated January 20, <br />1976, to provide that the Lionettes shall be relieved of <br />the obligation to reinstall the turf and shall on specific <br />agreed-upon dates continue to play their softball games on <br />the existing configuration (brick dust) of the Municipal <br />Bowl field until the completion of the post-season games; <br />and further that the $6,400 Letter of Credit issued to <br />guarantee resodding of the field be assigned to the City <br />for improvement of the stadium and reimbursement to the <br />Santa Aha Unified School District for undue damage to <br />uniforms resulting from high school football games played <br />on a skinned field instead of a sodded field. The motion <br />was seconded by Councilman Brandt, and carried (4:2), with <br />Councilmen Evans and Yamamoto dissenting. <br /> <br />Prior to the motion, Robert Gresham, Director of Recreation <br />and Parks, stated that there was no problem with the scheduled <br />dates of the high school games, but that School District staff <br />was opposed to playing on the brick-dust or skinned field <br />because of uniform laundering problems and costs and increased <br />potential injuries; that under the terms of the current <br />agreement with the Lionettes, the field is scheduled for <br />resodding on August 50 and 31; and that City Staff is recom- <br />mending an amendment to the Lionettes agreement to delete <br />the resodding provision and to provide for additional play- <br />off and World Cup playing dates in the Bowl. <br /> <br />Mr. Pickett Scott, representing the Lionettes, stated that <br />the City Staff had agreed to use of the Bowl for certain <br />playoff and World Cup dates that would not conflict with the <br />football schedule; that based on the Staff commitment, <br />substitute playing locations were not pursued and, at this <br />time, are not available; and that a minimum of five days <br />lead time is required for resodding. <br /> <br />Councilmen Evans and Brandt commented that there had been no <br />official action by the School Board regarding the supplemen- <br />tal agreement with the Lionettes. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES <br /> <br />529 AUGUST 50, 1976 <br /> <br /> <br />
