The Victorville City Council meeting on May 6, 2025, focused on the replacement of outdated scoreboards at local ballparks. City officials discussed the challenges of maintaining the existing scoreboards, which have become difficult to repair due to the unavailability of parts and installation services.
Donna Meister, a representative involved in the project, confirmed that the current scoreboards are considered "ancient" and that the city plans to replace them with modern, wireless models. She assured council members that no additional electrical work would be necessary, as the existing electrical systems are functioning properly. The installation will be handled by city facilities staff.
Council members also discussed the specifications for the new scoreboards, noting that both 12-foot and 16-foot options would be ordered to accommodate different pole locations at each park. This decision aims to streamline the installation process and minimize further construction work.
The council moved forward with a motion to approve the replacement of the scoreboards, marking a significant step in upgrading the city's recreational facilities. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to enhancing community sports infrastructure and ensuring that local teams have access to modern amenities.
