TRUSSVILLE — The Trussville City Council last week approved of going out to bid to move sports lighting from Jack Wood Stadium to the fields behind Hewitt-Trussville Middle School.
The city council in August 2014 awarded a $93,318 bid to Titan Electric, Inc. to light the fields behind the middle school.
The Trussville City Board of Education has already approved an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Trussville for the use of the fields.
The agreement will allow Trussville Parks and Recreation to use the fields behind Hewitt-Trussville Middle School, which are former soccer and band fields. The city plans to use the fields for soccer, flag football and lacrosse.
The city will pay for maintenance and for the bills in exchange for the use of the fields.
Jack Wood Stadium is set to be demolished beginning this month.
The city council last week also approved of going out to bid on air conditioning systems for the Trussville Athletic Center on Parkway Drive. The athletic center includes two gymnasiums and offices.
