The Oakdale City Council approved the final bid for improvements on one of its baseball fields.
The Oakdale City Council approved the final bid for the reconstruction of the Tanners Lake Baseball Field Monday night. The city has budgeted $245,000 to reconstruct the ballpark. So far the city has spent $202,000 on improvements, including installing new lights last year. All that's left of the project is installing irrigation and sodding in the ballpark's infield. The city received two bids to complete the work for $20,000 or $30,000.

The price tag on both projects went up since council members expressed support for them.
Oakdale City Council members said they’re unsure how they want to proceed with two projects that are now going to cost the city significantly more than originally planned.

Similarly, the committee working to get donations for a veterans’ memorial to be built outside of Oakdale City Hall has raised $10,000, but needs between $50,000 and $75,000 to complete the project, and is asking for city help.

The council is also scheduled to talk about re-opening the bathrooms at Tanners Lake Park.
Oakdale’s former nature center building already had mold and a rodent infestation. Last Monday, July 18, a large oak tree fell on its roof, according to a staff report to the Oakdale City Council. On Tuesday, July 26, the council is scheduled to determine the building’s fate. The city could use its insurance money to repair the building or demolish it—something that was already under consideration before the accident. “(The parks commission was) really uncertain about what they wanted to do with it—some of the parks commission wanted to eventually fix it,” said Parks and Buildings Superintendent Randy Bastyr. But, with the current situation, it appears, “God made our decision for us.” The parks commission, and city staff are recommending …
