Donated light poles, minor electrical work proposed for courthouse fields; commissioners raise neighborhood/time limits
Summary
A volunteer (Nick) proposed modest electrical repairs at the concession stand and installation of donated 10–12 foot poles for practice‑field lights; commissioners supported the plan provided lights comply with the lease (no use past 9 p.m.).
A volunteer who joined the meeting by Zoom outlined plans to repair the concession‑stand electrical system and to install donated light poles at the practice field to reduce annual rental costs for temporary lights.
"Levitt said they would donate the poles and the labor, I think potentially," the participant said, adding Levitt had also donated poles and that the work could be cost‑effective for the county. He said the scoreboard, music system and lights were on the same circuits and that a modest electrical fix or breaker adjustments could address shorting problems.
Commissioners raised one principal concern — neighborhood impact and the lease restriction that lights not remain on past 9:00 p.m. — and said an on/off switch and adherence to the lease should address that. The board indicated no objection to proceeding with the proposed repairs and the offer of donated materials, and staff will accept the documentation needed to authorize the work.
