During Godinez High baseball games, several player injuries <br /> have occurred due to the lack of a home run outfield fence. This request was discussed at the <br /> May 20, 2009 Board of Recreation and Parks and an approved recommendation was made to <br /> install the homerun fence on the two Hector Godinez baseball fields. <br /> This request was then discussed at the Joint District/City Policy meeting of October 21, 2009, <br /> with Council Member Martinez, Sarmiento, and Tinajero attending. Staff then met with the <br /> Windsor Village, Valley Adams, and Centennial Park Neighborhood Associations to discuss the <br /> issue and answer questions. As a result, the City and the District staff are proposing the attached <br /> agreement amendment that would modify the Hector Godinez Joint Use Agreement to provide for <br /> a homerun fence during the baseball season on the joint use baseball fields. Both outfield fences <br /> will be designed to be removed when not in use. The fences shall be limited to six feet in height <br /> extending only from one foul line to the other and exact location and design of the fences shall be <br /> subject to the approval of the City's Executive Director of Parks and Recreation (Exhibit 1). <br /> 25E-1 <br /> <br />
