.--,..~,...-,,- .c, -' 214 regulations. It is felt this matter could be a study by the newly formed Operational Policies Committee in cooperation with the Homeowners Association and the Police De- partment. - Commissioner Pound mentioned a large model homes' sign in Marlin Park, Redwood Shores, which was left by the contractor. Interested citizens in that area would like to know if they may use that sign as a bulletin board., This will be looked into and a report made at a later date. Commissioner Guida reported that the Redwood Shores baseball diamond was in very bad condition. Mitchell Field had several complaints: (1) watering schedule was inconsiderate of the players using the field, (2) there is a concrete gutter which runs alongside the field about six feet over from the first base line which is dangerous in that location, (3) the diamond is a skin diamond and first and third bases are located in the dirt while second base is in the grass, (4) at McGarvey there is a broken board in the backstop. It was indicated these matters would be investigated. It was pointed out that several new practices will be created as time allows to provide for the maintenance evaluation of the various baseball facilities which will result in yearly schedules well in advance of the season. It is proposed that a series of main- tenance critiques be initiated at the end of the baseball season with the various interested parties using the facilities. It is felt that by this practice several problems which arise during the season can be analyzed and corrected prior to the be- ginning of the new baseball season. This practice will also assist in providing budget requests for those items which require special funding. With respect to the Little League use of the school facility diamonds, every attempt will be made to more closely coordinate the efforts of the School District and the City in providing facilities for Little League use. It was pointed out that the current role of the City with respect to the maintenance of ball diamond facilities on school property was limited to the clean-up, dragging, marking of the playing area and the mowing of the outfield area. The watering of these facilities is under the jurisdiction of the school district. It is felt that coordination of these activities can be improved.
