Dear~: N~
The 2006 Park and Trail Acq~ition and Development Capital Improvement
Program includes $60,000 for ball field improvements. This allocation has been
made in response to requests for safety improvements by facility user groups.
The City of Chanhassen takes pride in its athletic fields and shares your desire to
maintain safe and enjoyable playing conditions.
On January 24, the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission will be holding
a public meeting to allow all athletic groups and their representatives the
opportunity to identify safety-related needs on our ball fields. While $60,000 may
sound like a significant amount, it will be dispersed among multiple parks and
dozens of ball fields; therefore, it is important that the most critical needs are met
first.
This meeting is a great opportunity for you to meet with the city's Park and
Recreation Commission and staff. You have first-hand experience using our
facilities and we value your input as we make plans for this exciting project. It is
our goal to get started early to allow as many of the improvements as possible to
be completed prior to the start of the 2006 season. I hope you and other
representatives of your group can attend the meeting.
I look forward to seeing you on the 24th!
Sincerely,
~
Todd Hoffman
Park and Recreation Director
