Baseball/Softball Needs Assessment
Mr. Gergick presented an overview of the Needs Assessment for
Future Baseball/Softball Facilities. He said as they were looking to
building new facilities, they were asked to reevaluate what their needs
were as it relates to the diamond facilities. He said the needs include a
youth 200’ softball field, 300’-310’ baseball field for ages 13/14, bullpens
on Park West Field 1, and an additional softball field on the north side of
Town.
There was discussion by Committee and staff about the plans for the
fields at Carolina Park. The Committee also discussed possible plans by
the Charleston County School District with Lucy Beckham High School
and the use of the Wando South field.

Mr. DeMoura said if the Department had to vacate the Beckham’s
full-size high school field, the decision had to be that the district would
need to build the Town another full-size baseball field. The Town can
then move forward with the plans at Carolina Park with the original plan
for Phase III which they have funding for with the medium size baseball
field and two softball fields.
The Committee continued discussion on the fields.
5. Impact of COVID-19 on Recreation Department Programs and
Plans for Fall Activities
Mr. Gergick reviewed the plans for the fall activities and said the
intention was to continue with them. He said as they receive guidance,
they would reevaluate it and he asked the Recreation Committee’s
thoughts.
There was discussion between Committee and staff about programs,
the large number of staff and participants testing positive for COVID 19,
and the process moving forward.
Ms. Whitley thanked Recreation staff for creating the opportunities
for the children ensuring a safe and healthy experience for them.
Mr. DeMoura said they will put together a plan to share with the
Committee on what the policy would be as they enter the fall with the
programs and athletics. He said it would follow the Governor’s orders and
would show the plans for sanitizing and distancing.
Mr. Gergick said there were also special events that were in the
upcoming months and they would continue to monitor and review to
determine if they would take place.
6. Review and possible action with regard to conceptual plans for
a First Responders Memorial at Memorial Waterfront Park
First Responders Memorial 1
Mr. Jeff Ulma, Planning Department Director, gave a presentation of
conceptual plans for a First Responder Memorial to acknowledge and
recognize Fire, Police, and Public Services.

Mr. DeMoura said before Council could consider it, they would get
more information on what it would entail and could bring that back to
Committee and then it could move on.
Ms. Whitley said this was a concept and she was concerned about
where the funding would come from, but there could be some private
funding for the project.
Mr. DeMoura said they have funding source which was attached to
this park. He said they planned to request a meeting with Council to
review the Capital Plan and discuss what to do at Waterfront Park since
the extension of the pier was much higher than anticipated. He said that
it could be incorporated into the next phases out there. Mr. DeMoura said
he was very impressed that Mr. Ulma and his team were able to design
the conceptual plans in-house.
7. Program/projects update
Mr. Gergick gave a program and participation update.
Mr. Rambo said he wanted thank staff for working so hard during this
