Mr. Cisneros reviewed Contract Two, in which the staff recommends that the
money set aside for irrigation at Waldron Park go to irrigation at already
existing league fields, with an alternate for irrigation at the Waldron Park. He
added that that it is an alternate is of no consequence, the improvement will be
done.
