No Games Scheduled July 20 - August 13
Tlie Miller Playfield ball fields will be temporarily closed for the installation of new light poles.
Once initial installation work is complete (approximately August 13), the fields will reopen for use. The Parks Department expects to adjust lighting after the initial installation.
This lighting renovation project will replace existing field lighting for Miller Playfield's soccer and softball fields.
Eleven wood lighting poles are being relaced with steel poles, the same height as the existing poles.
New lamps will provide more uniform surface illumination for players on the field, with minimal energy consumption, and will restrict spillover and glare lighting from falling onnearby residences, per City Code and Parks Department standi'irds. The new lighting system will provide better controls, allowing for selective field lighting.
Anticipated project completion: September 2004 project budget: $302,000

Note especially: that: "After the new system has been installed, there is a burn-in period when the lamps are brighter. The system needs to be run for 100 hours and then the lighting levels will be measured again. The lights will operate for 10 hours a day for 10 days. There is a period of adjustment built into the project, so that adjustments to the lights can be made. "
