Council approves $22,600 fence replacement at Dirks Ballpark
Summary
The Olivia City Council approved a $22,600 contract to replace fencing at Dirks Ballpark, including a 10-foot backstop; the project fits within the parks budget and was approved by voice vote. Work is planned as part of a multi-year parks maintenance schedule.
The Olivia City Council voted to approve a $22,600 fence replacement at Dirks Ballpark, a little-league field in the city park system.
City staff described the project scope as a 4-foot new fence fabric with a top rail along the right field, bottom rail work at the sidelines and outfield, and a 10-foot-tall, six-gauge wire backstop behind home plate. A city staff speaker said, “the total project costs is 22,600 and this does fit within the park budget.”
The project was identified at a recent parks meeting as the top priority for the next phase of maintenance, with staff presenting a multi-year plan to address park assets through 2027–2028. Councilmember Buner moved the motion to approve and Patter seconded; the measure passed by voice vote.
Because the cost is covered in the existing parks budget, staff said the work will move forward without seeking additional appropriations. The council did not add contingencies during the motion and did not record a roll-call vote; action was taken by voice vote during the meeting.
Next steps for the project include completing procurement and scheduling the work through Public Works as part of the parks maintenance plan. The council did not specify a construction start date during the meeting.
