Council discusses replacing aging baseball-park bleachers; PCABA may share cost

Feb 25, 2025

Council heard that park bleachers are no longer compliant with insurance requirements and that replacement would cost about $30,000 per set; the PCABA offered to cover part of the cost so the village could replace the worst set this year without a supplemental appropriation.

The full story

Council and parks representatives discussed insurance findings that park bleachers are out of compliance and need replacement; quoted cost figures were roughly $30,000 per set. A parks representative said the insurance carrier will allow replacing the worst set this year and that the Parks & Recreation Advisory or PCABA is willing to share costs, which could reduce the village's outlay to about $15,000 for one field.
