<br /> 71-SS - The following letter from the Portsmouth Recreation and Parks Commission, John L. Ivy, Chairman,
<br />was read:
<br />
<br /> "In accordance with your request, the following is a report concerning the construction of a softball
<br />field which would serve as a "home" field for the Book of Knowledge Softball Team:
<br />
<br /> This matter was presented to the Commission at the November meeting by Mr. Kenneth Babb, Manager of the
<br />Book of Knowledge Team, along with the cost estimates which had been prepared by J. S. Campbell; Jr., Director
<br />of Recreation (a copy of which is attached). The proposal included locating the field on a site adjacent to
<br />the new Churchland Junior High School.
<br />
<br /> At this meeting, there was some question in the minds of the members as to whether or not the School Board
<br />would authorize this location. Consequently the matter was-referred to Committee.
<br />
<br /> This matter was again brought up at the January meeting of the Commission and after considerable discussion
<br />it was decided (1) that the Commission could not recommend such an expenditure at this time and (2) there was
<br />still some doubt about being able to locate the field on school property. Based on the above, the Commission
<br />rejected Mr. Babb's proposal. ,
<br />
<br /> As a result of Council's action on February 9, 1971, the item was discussed again at the February meeting.
<br />A suggestion that Lawrence Stadimmbe made available was rejected as not being practical, but no further action
<br />was taken other than authorizing this letter."
<br />
<br />On motion of Mr. Turmer, the report received as information, without dissenting vote.
