A quality little league field has <br /> been built and maintained. The OBA has met with the Orono Lions <br /> who expressed willingness to use funds at their disposal to <br /> develop a ballfield at another, permanent site. The OBA will <br /> continue to meet with the School Board to develop a permanent <br /> ballfield on school property. <br /> In response to complaints by residents in the Bederwood Park <br /> neighborhood, Larson stated the following: <br /> * The scoreboard is set in concrete and is not removable in <br /> the of f-season. <br /> * The use of a hand-held amplifier to announce batting <br /> orders and players coming to bat does not constitute an <br /> "amp 1 i f ier system". <br /> * Vehicles are used on the park property only to unload and <br /> load groundskeeping equipment and for deliveries to the <br /> concession stand. <br /> * The 1991 season is scheduled to begin on May 4th with an <br /> ex�anded number of teams using the field Monday through <br /> Friday, from 4: 00 p.m. until dark, until the end of June. <br /> Thereafter, the field will be used less frequently for play- <br /> off games until mid-July. ' <br /> * The OBA believes that its use of Bederwood Park for little <br /> league games was approved through the 1993 season; Bederwood <br /> Park neighbors believe that such use will end in 1992 . <br /> 1 <br />
