During a recent government meeting, city officials expressed concerns regarding the financial outcomes of local tournaments organized by the Wisconsin Recreation Association (WRA). Despite the tournaments being deemed successful in terms of participation and community engagement, questions arose about the lack of profitability for the city.

One official highlighted the importance of these tournaments in boosting local tourism and the economy, stating, \"I think it's great for our local economy.\" However, the official also pointed out the need for transparency regarding the financial structure of the events, particularly concerning staffing costs and whether the city was subsidizing expenses while the WRA benefited financially.

Discussion included the potential for city representatives to attend an upcoming WRA meeting to seek clarity on these issues. Officials emphasized the necessity of understanding the financial arrangements, including whether the city recouped any funds from the tournaments. The sentiment was clear: if the city is to invest further in facilities and events, a comprehensive understanding of the financial implications is essential.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need for a detailed report from the WRA to provide insight into the financial performance of the tournaments, ensuring that future investments align with the city's economic interests.
