Architecture was responsible for the feasibility study and that he believes the study is comprehensive. The CPC voted in a straw poll to support the project (8-0) and 1 "maybe" from Mr. Wolk. 2) Park Improvements- Hard Court Resurfacing- Mr. Coleman requested $70,000 in CPA funds for hard court resurfacing for Adams Park. The project includes resurfacing, painting, and restriping the Adams Tennis Courts and Basketball Courts as well as installing a permanent bike rack. The park was last resurfaced in 2004 and another resurfacing isn't anticipated for an additional 10-15 years. Mr. Filadoro noted that the resurfacing process takes approximately two weeks to complete. The Committee questioned if the project will cause a disruption to the neighborhood located near Adams Park on Massachusetts Avenue. This area has seen three years of consecutive construction and the Committee would like not to disrupt the area more than it already is. Mr. Filadoro noted that there would be a minimal impact to Massachusetts Avenue if any, since Adams Park is located behind the Waldorf School set back from Massachusetts Avenue. The CPC voted in a straw poll to support the project (9-0). 3) Park Improvements-Athletic Fields- Mr. Coleman requested $435,000 in CPA funds for improvements to the Diamond Middle School Field.

Revenue generated from field fees are used for maintenance of the field.
