At its April 13 meeting, the City of Hamilton Park Board authorized up to $350 to repair the city baseball fields after the sports committee reported a broken home plate and other maintenance needs.
Megan, a sports committee representative, told the board that the home plate is broken and several bases need plugs. She said volunteer Jamie Cole is willing to install a new home plate and to spray and clean the infield if the plate is provided; the replacement plate cost was reported as approximately $137.69.
Park Board member Lauren Dannar, participating remotely, said the city will locate a dragger and that the city crew will mow and address weeds, shifting some maintenance tasks to city staff. Park Board member Gina Silkwood moved to authorize the expenditure of up to $350 for the plate, plugs and weed spray; Brandon Smith seconded the motion and it passed.
The minutes note the board discussed revisiting a "Morgan" contract so that contracted work such as dragging and weed control is fulfilled; the minutes do not identify the Morgan referenced beyond the surname. The board did not record a vote tally for the field-repair motion in the minutes.
The board’s authorization is limited to the funds described; details on procurement process or timelines for installation were not specified in the minutes.
