COMMUNITY CENTER BALL FIELD DEDICATION -TOM VALENTE MEMORIAL
• Pazks and Recreation Duector Mazk Hodgkins explained that the Council previously approved
dedicating the ball fields at the Community Center to former Mayor and Councilman Tom Valente.
Mr. Hodgkins reviewed plans for the memorial, which include erecting a wall in front of the
flagpole at the Community Center, installing two bronze plaques on the wall, and placing a
bronze sculpture depicting a girl playing softball on a concrete pad in front of the wall.
Discussion ensued on the length of the wall, which was proposed to be 10-feet. Mr. Hodgkins
stated the wall size can be made smaller. Mr. Hodgkins explained that the original dedication
sign, which was installed when construction of the multi-purpose ball fields was completed in
1998, will be replaced with a bronze plaque to match the Valente dedication plaque.
Council consensus was to move forward with this project.
ADJOURNMENT
