Dugout Project
The approach of the dugout project will be to provide dugouts for ballfields 5-6 at the Youth Athletic
Complex and the two ballfields at Oak Knoll. With$80,000 available the cost per dugout will be no
larger than $10,000. If any Youth Athletic Association wished to upgrade the dugouts beyond that level,
the Association will need to cover the cost difference. Staff is currently working with consultants with
HKGi in designing the base dugout, and then an upgraded option as well.
Financial Impact
$100,000 is currently budgeted in the Park Improvement Fund for athletic field improvements and
then$80,000 for dugouts.
