Monterey Board of Aldermen approved entering an engineering contract for a multi-purpose field at Black Bottom Field.
Mayor Nathan Walker said before architect Jerry Warren proceeded forward with more detailed plans, he provided the Board with better cost estimates for the project. Walker said the contract could cost up to $18,000.
“I will say, of course as most every other contract that comes up at the early stages it’s never going to be that much,” Walker said. “That’s what he says. This is just a ‘just in case scenario for our budgeting purposes on the value of the contract.”
Previous discussions about such a project indicated the land will be a big enough area for all sports to be able to separate out and practice. Walker said that the county is in charge of taking care of those fields, and that they would have a say so in how the fields are developed.
Walker said there will be meetings involved to go over more details. He said once Warren provides the board with preliminary specs, the Board will call a special meeting to decide how to move forward.
