Staff reports progress at Kennedy Park; Friends Group grant pending
Summary
Staff reported updated daytime and nighttime drone photos, light tests and ongoing construction at Kennedy Park; Friends Group reported receiving another grant (amount not yet verified) to support the renovation and capital campaign.
Staff presented updated project photography and results from recent lighting tests at Kennedy Park, saying drone images and nighttime light tests showed acceptable cut-off and that contractors were finishing seating and fences.
Shamak told the committee the Friends Group had been awarded an additional grant; staff said they would verify and circulate the exact grant amount. Staff also reported removal and storage of wall pads and progress on batting-cage and dugout work, with remaining seating work expected to be completed before winter.
Committee members asked whether the new lights created off-site glare; staff and the lighting company said there was minimal light spill beyond the site. The update concluded with staff noting docks were removed for winter storage and other close-out tasks continuing.
What’s next: Staff will confirm the grant amount and continue installing remaining seating and dugout roofs, then provide updated financial and construction status in the next packet.
