REQUEST BY CIVITAN LITTLE LEAGUE FOR
ASSISTANCE IN ELECTRICAL FEES IN THE STAFF REPORT
AMOUNT OF $952 FOR ITS 1988 SEASON.
Civitan Little League has requested financial assistance for its utility
costs associated with its use of Aquinas High School ballfield. Civitan
Little League was the principal user of Fiscalini Field from 1982 to 1986
and its cooperation in securing an alternative playing site facilitated
in securing the minor league baseball program.
In utilizing a private field, Civ1tan becomes the only youth league in
the City required to pay utility costs,
The league is agreeable to paying utility costs once adequate revenues are
generated from its newly opened snack bar. This is expected to occur for
the 1989 season.
The league's estimate of the utility costs is accurate. A savings of
approximately $17,000 is projected for the Recreation Division Electrical
Energy account (001-383-53402). It is therefore recommended that
Civitan Little League be provided financial assistance in the amount of
$952 from savings in the Recreation Electrical Energy account.

Recreational Superintendent
City of San Bernardino
San Bernardino. California
Dear Mr. Kramer;
Once again baseball season is upon us. and again Civitan Little League along
with three (3) other leagues must to turn to the City of San Bernardino for financial
assistance.
As you may remember last year. Civitan Little League, along with two (2) other
leagues moved to Aquinas High School to share their playing field for the youth in
the junior. senior and big leagues. This move was to accommodate the new San
Bernardino Spirit team.
However, part of our agreement with Aquinas High School requires that we pay
for our portion of the utilities (field lights) used. Last year the projected cost for
the season was $1,148.00. The final costs came under that projection and the
players, parents. and leagues appreciated your financial assistance.
This year East Base Line. Wildwood, Del Rosa, and Civitan Little Leagues have
joined together to play at Aquinas High SchooL These three leagues combined
amount to approximately 150 players.
We are very grateful to the City of San Bernardino for providing Civitan Little
League with our new snack bar. However, since the snack bar was not completed
until the end of our playing season. we were unable to raise any revenue in which
to begin the 1988 season. So once again, we must approach you for the necessary
funds to begin our playing season. Our projected estimate for the cost of lighting
has been listed below.
The estimated cost:
Total nights: 68 nights at 3.5 hours usage per night
Totat cost: I'UO X 238 hours- 1952.00
Approximately four (4) lights are in need of replacement at Aquinas. Civitan
will be responsible for a portion of the costs necessary to make these repairs. We
would like to ask your assistance with the purchase of these bulbs, just as you did
during the 1987 season. Your crews most graciously assisted us with the
adjustment of the lights, and once again we would like to enlist their assistance
with this task.

Your assistance with this fees, replacement, and adjustment will be greatly
appreciated by Civitan Little League, as well as the other leagues playing at
Aquinas High School. Our move from Fiscalini Field has been less stressful because
of the assistance of the City of San Bernardino.
We truly appreciate your continued dedication to the youth of San BernardlflO,
Sincer ly, .
