Councilmember Lasman inquired about the warning track and why it is needed. Mr. McCauley
discussed that the warning track is needed for safety purposes on the fields.
Councilmember Nelson asked why the estimate had changed and is now $95, 555. Mr. McCauley
informed the Council that the revised estimate reflects the correct fence costs and warning track that
had not been included in the previous estimates.

if the City does not get the grant. Mr. McCauley answered that if the City did not receive the grant,
