In 1990, the OBA received a Little League Charter, and the association needed a regulation size <br />Little League field. The OBA then funded about $20,000 worth of improvements to the existing <br />Bederwood Park ballfield which included fencing the entire ball diamond, construction of dugouts <br />and a concession stand, installing portable bleachers and a scoreboard, and upgrading the field <br />surface. The OBA then obtained a commitment, for exclusive use of the ballfield on Monday through <br />Thursday evenings. In 1992, the use of the field on Monday through Thursday evenings was <br />reconfirmed. <br />When the OBA completed the Bederwood Park improvements in 1990, the long range plan was to <br />construct a new ballfield on the school district property, and then reduce the frequency of use at <br />Bederwood Park, After completion of the new Lee Carlson ballfield complex in 1994, the usage of <br />the Bederwood Park field by the OBA was reduced to two nights per week and has remained at this <br />level since then. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion regarding the appropriate level of use of the Bederwood Park baseball field by the Orono <br />Baseball Association <br />Page <br />
