Discussion:
Shakopee Baseball Community has a business (Shakopee Bowl) that would like to donate to cement baseball bollards (see attached picture) to be installed at the entrance to Joe Schleper Stadium in Tahpah Park. Donor will cover cost of production and installation (between $2,500 and $3,000) and will coordinate through the entire process with city staff. It is their intention to have the bollards installed s soon as possible (before Winter starts).
The Shakopee Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on 10/10/22 and endorsed unanimously (7-0) the proposal recommending that the Shakopee City Council approve the donation as presented.
Staff requests the Mayor and City Council approve the recommendation as presented.
