Commission approves $105,000 in upgrades for Cuss Field at Regner Park
Summary
The commission approved proposed Cuss Field improvements in Regner Park — synthetic bullpens, batting tunnels and a new access gate — proposed by the Westman Baseball Association and estimated at about $105,000.
The Parks and Recreation Commission approved proposed improvements to Cuss Field at Regner Park, a package proposed by the Westman Baseball Association that staff estimated at roughly $105,000.
Staff described three primary improvements: a synthetic bullpen on the first-base side with site preparation and base stone provided by city staff and turf installation by a contractor the association prefers; new batting tunnels to be relocated and consolidated near the tennis courts on the third-base side; and a new access gate into the tennis court area to retrieve fly balls. Staff said much of the installation work would be performed by city crews with contractor assistance and that the association’s preferred contractor had previously done synthetic-turf maintenance for the city.
The project includes a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the baseball association included in the meeting packet. Commissioners asked about the configuration of bullpens and tunnels and the need for physical room to place improvements; staff replied that layout decisions were driven by access and existing gates. A motion to approve the Cuss Field improvements was made and seconded; commissioners voiced ayes and the motion carried.
