STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the presentation and provide direction on the concept design and amenities to be incorporated for Fallon Sports Park Phase 3. DESCRIPTION: Background The adopted 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Fallon Sports Park - Phase 3 project (CIP No. PK0119). The project provides for the design and construction of the final 14 acres of the 60-acre Fallon Sports Park. On January 8, 2019 the City Council directed Staff to include a cricket field and a five - bay batting cage facility in the concept des ign of Fallon Sports Park - Phase 3. The cricket field and batting cages will be developed instead of two softball fields that were part of the original Fallon Sports Park Master Plan. The City Council also directed Staff to develop concept plans that could include sand volleyball and/or BMX. Based on City Council direction provided in January, three concept plans were developed for Phase 3 of the park. The three concept plans were presented to City Council on May 7, 2019. At the May City Council meeting, sports user groups provided input and requested additional items to be considered for the Phase 3 project. The City Council provided direction to staff to do the following:  Delete stairway and accessible path that connects the Little League field to the corner of Fallon Road and Bent Tree Drive Page 2 of 3  Provide for a 4th sand volleyball court  Provide costs for Little League field lighting (two fields)  Provide costs for one, two-story score keepers booth for Little League  Provide costs for batting cage lighting  Provide costs for cricket field lighting and 4’ fence surrounding cricket field  Meet with sports groups again to discuss these items As part of the re-design of the Phase 3 area, Staff met with representatives from Little League, volleyball, and cricket, and Staff completed additional research. That effort resulted in additional requests for the Phase 3 project. Sports User Groups Requests: Little League - Add two-bay batting cage adjacent to one of the fields Volleyball - Add bleachers Cricket - Add storage container, two additional pitches, two-story score booth, scoreboard, perimeter netting, bleachers, and sight screens The detail and costs for these items are included below.
