Commission terminates Summit Park softball lease, agrees to negotiate memorandum of understanding and coordinate with DEP
Summary
Harrison County commissioners voted to terminate the softball association lease at Summit Park and direct staff to negotiate a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the association while coordinating necessary work with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Harrison County Commission on Sept. 17 voted to terminate the current lease with the West Virginia Girl Softball League at Summit Park and instructed county administrators to negotiate a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the softball group.
County staff told commissioners the change is intended to create clearer mutual responsibilities and reduce lease-driven obligations for the softball association while allowing the county and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to complete necessary work at Summit Park. Staff noted the DEP has exploratory rights and possible AML (Abandoned Mine Land) grant funding is involved; the precise DEP work and scope were not finalized in the meeting record.
The motion to terminate the lease and work toward an MOU and coordination with DEP carried on the record with no opposed votes.
Ending: County staff will negotiate an MOU with the softball association and coordinate access and remedial work with the DEP as planning and funding details are developed.
