Body
SUMMARY:
In April 2015, the Lease Agreement between the City and The Winning Inning Inc. for the use, operation and maintenance of Jack Russell Stadium was mutually terminated. Since then the City has assumed operations of the stadium and continues to program and operate a vibrant and busy schedule of activities throughout the year.
The City is currently renovating restrooms, scoreboard and batting tunnels at Jack Russell. Future projects will include the demolition and relocation of stadium bleachers to accommodate 1,000 seats as well as the demolition of unused structures. Also staff is working to partner with both Clearwater High School and St. Petersburg College regarding the upgrade and renovations of the locker rooms at the stadium so both programs can use this as their home field.
The space to be renovated is on the second floor of the clubhouse which was used for administrative offices of the Philadelphia Phillies when they used Jack Russell Stadium as their Spring Training facility.
This project will provide for complete renovations of the office space area including new windows, air conditioner, flooring, doors, ceilings, restroom, etc.; as well as addressing the life safety and ADA access issues by constructing new stairs and elevator.
Recommended funding for the project comes from a variety of sources as outlined below:
CIP 315-93649 Jack Russell Scoreboard and ADA Improvements $100,000
CIP 315-93655 Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex $230,000

CIP 315-94530 Building Systems (Building & Maintenance) $ 75,000
