Commission approves Phase 1B site plans for Kennedy Park fields; bids to be advertised
Summary
The commission approved site plans for Phase 1B of Kennedy Park (two baseball fields) and directed staff to advertise the work for bid this week; future phases and site consolidation depend on fundraising.
The Land Commission approved site plans for Phase 1B of Kennedy Park, covering two baseball fields that staff said are expected to be advertised for bid this week and potentially constructed this summer.
Staff described Phase 1B as the initial construction work focused on two baseball fields. Further phases — additional fields, parking and a consolidated warming house/park shop near the hockey pavilion — will proceed as fundraising and project phasing allow. Staff said the warming‑house/park‑shop would replace several existing small buildings in that corner of the park.
Commissioners and staff framed the approved work as part of a larger, multi‑phase park development. Commissioner comments noted community benefit and local coaching use; no substantive design changes were raised during the hearing. Gerent moved to approve the Phase 1B site plans; Mumper seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Bids will be solicited per village procurement policy; later phases will be scheduled as fundraising and design are completed.
