The first reading of an ordinance authorizing paying Mid America Sports Construction $1,589,851 to replace and install synthetic turf at Joe Becker Stadium, Wendell Redden stadium and four fields at the Gene Bassman Softball Complex is on the consent agenda for the 6 p.m. Monday Joplin City Council meeting.
The projects were approved by voters as part of Phase 3 of the 1/4 cent Parks and Stormwater Sales Tax, according to the project information provided to the council.
The cost is approximately $600,000 more than was originally approved for the project in the city budget.
The council will have to approve a budget amendment to authorize the expenditure.
