Canton softball group presents $50,000-plus ballfield plan; council asks committee to review
Summary
Amanda Jansen presented a plan to improve the Canton ballfield (lighting, fencing, infield work) and noted that a DNR grant application would require a minimum $50,000 project cost; council advised the park/rec committee to review and return recommendations.
Amanda Jansen presented a plan for the Canton ballfield that would include new electrical service and field lighting, replacement fencing around the field, and redoing the infield with proper fill to address the rough surface. She told the council that a DNR grant would require a minimum project cost of $50,000 to qualify for application.
Council members asked the park/rec committee to meet to review the proposal and return with recommendations. The minutes note the council will consider the plan and that the park/rec committee should come back with a recommendation before the council takes further action.
The minutes record no vote on funding or grant application at the Feb. 12 meeting. Other administrative approvals that night included a $3,220 contribution to the Mabel summer recreation program and authorization to replace the city hall copy machine with a refurbished unit and a quarterly maintenance agreement.
