Commission committee recommends $5.1 million phased turf project for four county ballfields
Summary
An athletic facilities ad hoc committee recommended turfed infields at Bradley North, Urbane Road, Elrod and Blue Springs Park and asked the mayor and parks director to plan and identify funding; Commissioner Alford placed the recommendation on the Dec. 15 voting-session agenda.
Commissioner Josh Alford told the commission that the athletic facilities ad hoc committee voted to recommend installing turf on the infields at four county parks and requested that the mayor and the parks-and-recreation director prepare project planning and funding options.
Alford said the committee estimated the phased cost of installing turf at Bradley North, Urbane Road, Elrod and Blue Springs Park at "about $5,100,000.0" and asked that the recommendation be placed on the Dec. 15 voting-session agenda for further consideration.
Alford said the project would be phased to allow continued play during installation. No funding source or timeline was specified at the meeting; commissioners referred the item to the upcoming voting session for potential action.
