'is the only lighted facility for this community which fielded
20 little league teams in 1982. The fields lights are extremely
poor, and are an extremely significant safety/liability ris?
for the many user organizations, individuals, and the Coachelia
Valley Recreation and Park District. The community agrees the
lights are the most minimal, even though the district feels
they are unacceptable. Community reaction to possible curtailment
of the li?htin? system, without first installing a new, adequate
system is vehemently anti-district. The community has expressed
its position as, some light is better than none if it means
playing spring and summer little league games and fall, adult
league games before dark in temperatures which usually exceed
1000 F*) no matter what the safety/liability risk factors.
Since the District9s dedicated rehabitation funds are grossly
insufficient to cover or include the cost of design/engineering/
T,urchasc/installation of a new, safe lighting system. The best
or)tion open is for the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park
District and the City of La Quinta is to co-sponsor this Needs
Basis Grant Application.
