SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Comiskey Park — Phase 1 Redevelopment Project
DATE: September 11, 2024
Leisure Services Director Marie Ware is recommending City Council acceptance and
adoption of the resolution for Comiskey Park -Phase 1 Redevelopment Project.
The Comiskey Phase 1 project opened in June of 2023. As typical with any large project
a final punch list remained. An electrical cabinet was on backorder and was installed
early summer of 2024. Due to staffing changeovers, the acceptance of the project was
delayed. All items are now complete and acceptance can be completed.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
