League 42 baseball players assisted with the dedication of the new turf baseball field.

"This new field will offer more youth a chance to play baseball and learn valuable life skills," said Council Member Lavonta Williams, whose north-side District I includes McAdams. The field, funded with $1.4 million from the capital improvement budget, represents the first phase of a three-year park improvement project. Designed and constructed by Multicon, Inc., the field offers a nostalgic motif to reflect an earlier era and pay homage to the league's namesake, baseball legend Jackie Robinson who wore number 42.

Water Conservation Rebate Program

The City dedicated another $100,000 to the Water Conservation Program this year. Beginning February 1, water customers became eligible to receive a rebate for switching to high efficiency appliances and other water efficient devices: such as HE washing machines, dishwashers, toilets and smart irrigation controls, rain sensors and rain barrels. In the first 30 days of the program, nearly $30,000 in rebates have been awarded.
