File Number: 21-240 <br />after Mr. Profumo, relayed how Mr. Profumo treated the players not as kids, but young adults-with the <br />firm expectation that they would learn to conduct themselves as such. Though they did not have <br />extensive rules - be on time, be ready to play, and hustle, those rules were followed by the star players <br />and average players alike. No one was above the team. <br />In true form, Mr. Profumo continues to give back to the community through the work of the non-profit <br />Lou’s Dugout. The organization helps fund sports programs which have been impacted by budget <br />constraints. See <https://lousdugout.com/>. The organization was founded by Mr. Profumo together <br />with those who played or coached with him . As stated on their website, “We can't go back to the "Good <br />Old Days", but we can help kids and young adults have their own good memories of playing sports here <br />in San Leandro. We can offset the costs of participation, equipment, and general support to those who <br />want to play.” <br /> <br />Last year, Lou’s Dugout raised $20,000 to help support organizations such as the San Leandro Boys <br />and Girls Club, uniforms for the San Leandro High Cheer Squad, field rentals for the San Leandro Old <br />Timers Baseball team, scholarships for the San Leandro Rhino’s Kayak team, tournament and travel <br />expenses for the San Leandro High School Men’s Basketball team, and equipment for the San Leandro <br />High School Women’s Softball team. <br /> <br />According to those in support of this effort, renaming the baseball field at the San Leandro Ball Park <br />after Lou Profumo would honor his lifetime contributions to San Leandro youth sports and the significant <br />positive impact on the lives of those he touched, both in and out of baseball. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />Title 1 Chapter 10 of the San Leandro Administrative Code <br />Committee Review and Actions <br />On January 27, 2021, the City Council Rules Committee discussed recognizing former Baseball coach <br />and mentor Lou Profumo. The Committee directed staff to ensure that nothing in Mr. Profumo’s past <br />would reflect poorly on the community. Staff reached out to his previous employer within the City as <br />well as some of his City colleagues and found nothing of concern. <br />Board/Commission Review and Actions <br />On April 7, 2021, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a presentation on the item and voted <br />unanimously to recommend that the City Council rename the baseball field within the existing San <br />Leandro Ball Park to the “Lou Profumo Field” and to install a plaque in recognition of Mr. Profumo’s <br />service to the community. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The cost of the signs and plaque will be paid for by the community supporters of this effort. <br />Attachment(s) to Staff Report <br />1.Title 1 Chapter 10 of the San Leandro Administrative Code <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/14/2021 <br />125
