DESCRIPTION) Flnanca: Council Notes: APPROVED BY CITY ATTORNEY DATE : 'j - 1'(-/1 /~ c ,^"' 1..../ ^"", ) CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION \"j STAFF REPORT The lighting system for this field was installed many years ago, and the lighting level provided is nQt in accordance with current standards. Adequate lighting levels are a neces- sity for creating a safer playing environment. Many of the components of the lighting system are showing evidences of deterioration. It is difficult to ascer- tain the structural integrity of these components. Replacement of the lighting system will remove uncertainties as to the reliability of this system. Additionally, in California Public Resources Code, Section 5701, the legislature of the State of California has made the following pe~tinent findings: (b) Community, neighborhood, and regional parks, beaches, recreational areas, recreational trails, and other recreational facilities, and the preservation of historic sites and structures contribute significantly to a healthy physical and moral environ- ment and also contribute to the economic betterment of the state. (c) Many older parks and recreational facilities have deteriorated to the pOint where the original investment in them may become lost, and prompt action is necessary to restore them to usefulness. We recommend that a finding be made that the replacement of this lighting system is needed for health and safety reasons. 9-21-87 75-0264
