Sports Lighting Pole Replacement at Adult Softball

The Sports Lighting Pole Replacement at Adult Softball project, managed by the Ramona Municipal Water District, involves the removal of six existing 40-foot adult softball infield poles and their replacement with new 80-foot poles at the adult softball fields located at 831 Elm Street, Ramona, California. The primary objective of installing taller poles is to improve player safety, and the project requires the reattachment of existing lighting fixtures to the new poles. There is no anticipated increase in the use of the softball fields resulting from this project. The project is categorized as a forecast with a posted date of June 22, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 237990. It has been deemed categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15303 due to the minor nature of the alterations and negligible environmental impact. Administrative oversight is provided by General Manager Erica Wolski and Grant Project Manager Andrea Gibson. A public hearing regarding the project was conducted on June 16, 2026, and the Notice of Exemption was dated June 18, 2026.
