Di rector of Parks and Recreation Pack y Romans told the Council that the
sprin kler hea ds manufactured by the Tho mps on Manufacturin g Company would be best
suited for the low a re a of the athl etic field becau se they resist moisture a nd
dirt when the area is flo oded. The smaller rubber head is more easi ly conceale1
and les s likely to interfere with sport s.
As sistant Direc tor of Parks and Re c reatio n Leon Kuhn said the more expe,,sive
Tho mpso n head s would be used only in th e low area, and not all parks woul d need
this t ype of equipme nt . The in itial co s t of the Tho mpson sprinklers is prohibitive .
He a dded that, af ter the flood of 19 65 , these were the only sprink ler systems
that r ema in ed operati onal.
Council Me mber Bradshaw , notin g that the bids came in unde r the
