CITY OF LAUREL
PARK BOARD
MARCH 3, 2011
5:30 P.M.
Members Present: Acting Chairwoman Kate Hart
Mark Mace
Hazel Storck
Staff Present: Public Works Director, Kurt Markegard
Public Comments (three - minute limit):
Citizens may address the committee regarding item of city business NOT on the agenda. The duration for an individual
speaking under Public Comments is limited to three minutes. While all comments are welcome, the committee will not take
action on any item, which does not appear on the agenda.
Public Citizens present: Shawn Gunther, Rick Schmidt, Paula Dooper, Mark Verlantic. All are
members of Laurel Baseball and Little League. Kirk Linse was not present.
Chairwoman Kate Hart called the meeting to order at 5:31 p.m. Kurt Markegard (DPW) informed the
committee that the baseball club would want to ask permission to make changes to most of the venues
for all ages of baseball in Laurel in the next few years. Kurt also informed the committee that the
Legion baseball needed to bring a lease agreement to be recommended to the council to approve with
some minor items to be discussed tonight.
Mr. Mark Verlantic began addressing the committee on what the baseball club would try to accomplish
this spring in time to use this season and host a regional district tournament for Legion baseball in late
July 2011. The plans involve as follows:
1. The adults and Legion players would like to replace the dugouts on the seniors field and
relocate the new dugouts with a new roof and adjust the side fencing so that it is safer for
the players and will allow the spectators to see down the baselines, which have a great deal
of action usually missed with the current alignment.
2. The group would also want to upgrade the sound system and speakers system and replace
the bleacher seats that are damaged.
3. The large shed that houses the electrical switches that operate the lights for night games
would be dismantled and replaced with a new set of temporary type skid mounted stick
buildings that could be easier to maintain and (1) will be for the electrical meters and
another building will house the field tools and field preparation tools to groom the field.
These two sheds would be able to be painted and look like a part of the field as would the
Concession stand.
4. The two small major and minor fields would need to have electrical improvements behind
the backstops and watering spigots installed behind the mound to maintain the diamonds in
between games.
5. Ace Electric will be hired to upgrade the lights and scoreboard switches and contacts and
relays.
6. The group plans to upgrade the fields at both Nutting Park and the south school which are
used for T -ball teams. The work at Nutting field would be improving the chain link fence
and a temporary insert type removable fence that splits the field in half to be used more
efficiently.
7. The Senior field backstop would need to be replaced and made safer. This would be an item
that would have to wait until next season.
8. Kurt reminded all that the City crews would only be responsible to mow all the fields in the
park each season, therefore the time involved with city workers would be greatly reduced as
manpower is a premium in the summer months.
9. The use of commercial delivery trucks for food and supplies would have to be insured
separately so that the city or the clubs would be certain that the trucks using the city
property would have adequate insurance to cover the used of large vehicles in a city park
which is not permitted. (This may be an exception for some council members to discuss.)
10. The group would have a $1 million dollar insurance policy to cover all facets of the
operation each season.
11. The lease would be renewed each season at the beginning of the season with a report and a
meeting with the park board and the council approving the lease each season.
12. The Safety Officer for the City would be responsible to inspect all phases of the City
property operations.
Kate motioned to recommend to the City Council to approve the lease with all items that were
discussed and any additional that may surface during the meeting. Motion was seconded by Hazel
Storck. Motion was unanimous.
With no further business, the committee meeting was adjourned at 6:13 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by,

Kurt, Norm &Gary:
Attached are six scanned images(in .JPG format)of diagrams that I have put together on the plans for the Big Field, two
Word Documents and a PDF file that we drew up when we were considering going with cinder block walls for the
dugouts. I threw that one in as it shows the dimensions a little better. We are now planning to use all poured concrete
walls instead. Let me know if you have problems viewing any of these docs and we can try to reformat them or get you
paper copies.
On the Word Docs, one outlines some of the specs for the dugouts and another shows a "Master Plan"of all of the things
we want to get done at the field in the near future.
On one diagram, I have included some things that we have considered, but may not take action on until time and money
allows. This is included so we can get the concepts reviewed by you and we can work on any specifics you require in
preparation for getting them done.
We would like to get this Master Plan in front of the Park Board when they meet next Thursday. Not sure who we are
going to have there on our behalf yet, as several of us have commitments out of town that day. I'm sure we will have
someone there, however.
Our desire is to start with the Dugout replacement as soon as the weather allows, so we are hoping to get an expedited
review and approval by all necessary boards and departments of that project, if possible. We are going to be working with
Travis Moran of MKM construction to complete the dugout work, plus a large amount of volunteer labor.
Please look this over and let us know where we need to fill in more information or specifics for you or where you might
have questions.
Thank you!

LAUREL BASEBALL MASTER PLAN FOR THE BIG FIELD AT
THOMSON PARK
(Updates in bold Italics)
Spring, 2011
- Replacement of existing dugouts due to deteriorating conditions
and to improve sight-lines for fans.
- Reconstruction of pitcher's mound, base paths and other infield
features to bring them into compliance with regulation baseball
field dimensions.
- Replacement of sound/PA system.
- Replace bulbs/ballasts in overhead field lights as needed.
- Redesign of gray "Block Building" —reduction in size to improve
sight-lines for fans. A structure of some kind would remain to
house the electrical panels that are currently housed within this
building. The electrical panels would remain in their current
location, with little or no alteration to the electrical system. Ace
Electric has consulted on this and will advise/assist further.
- Construction of an alternate storage building within fence-lines of
Big Field to replace storage lost from Block Building.
Alternatively,placing a portable building within the fenced area
to be used as storage.
- Installation of a gate in fence between field and Garage area to
allow storage of a portable batting screen (safety item).
Fall, 2011 or Spring 2012
- Replace Backstop
- Replacement of current lighting with more efficient array.
