2. Consider and act upon the approval of the design for the northwest and southwest

(HW)
At the May 24, 2016, Town Council meeting, the Town Council discussed various options
on the possible extension of the northwest and southwest youth ballfields from the current
planned 225-foot outfield. The Council also received input from several Prosper Little
League (PLL) members requesting at least one 300-foot outfield. Based on the
discussions, staff was asked to research the following options:
A. Cost of artificial turf versus natural turf on the northwest and southwest vouth ballfields
with 300' outfield.
B. Extend northwest and southwest youth ballfields to 275' outfield with hiah wall (300'
equivalent).
C. Extend northwest vouth ballfield to 300' outfield: southwest vouth ballfield' to 275'
outfield with hiqh wall (300' equivalent).
Mr. Webb reviewed the cost estimates for each option.
Mayor Smith recognized the following individual who requested to speak:
Dan Williams, 1220 Concho Trail, Prosper, spoke on behalf of the Prosper Youth Sports

Drake Dunn, 1301 Nacona Drive, Prosper, spoke on behalf of the Prosper Youth Sports
Commission. He would prefer one 300-foot field, but would accept two 275-foot fields.
After discussion, Councilmember Korbuly made a motion and Councilmember Dixon
seconded the motion to approve Option B (extend the northwest and southwest youth
ballfields to a 275-foot outfield with high wall — 300-foot equivalent) for the Frontier Park
North youth ballfields, with the exception that the high wall be chain link between 10 feet
and 12 feet high (not 300-foot equivalent) and extending the center outfield back on the
southwest ballfield, with a total cost not to exceed $700,000.00. The motion was approved
by a vote of 7-0.
