Parks and Recreation employees do infield work to Pete Holt Field in preparation for the upcoming season.
Lights will be going up on Pete Holt Field in the next couple months.The McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved spending $82,000 to pay McMinnville Electric System for the installation of six concrete poles, 24 metal halide lights at 1,500 watts apiece, conduit, underground conductor, all necessary electrical equipment, labor and transportation.Placed in the department’s 2015-16 fiscal year budget was $80,000 for lighting the only field behind the Civic Center that doesn’t have lights. However, according to the written quote from MES manager of engineering and operations Ralph Dunn, the final cost could be less if the city performs some of the work itself. “The cost is estimated not to exceed $82,000,” said Dunn.
