Summary
At its April 9 meeting the Logansport Parks and Recreation Board approved several seasonal lease agreements and a resolution renaming the lower pavilion at Spencer Park while tabling a Melbourne Park lease and a resolution supporting an LWCF grant application for Riverside Park.
The Logansport Parks and Recreation Board took several formal actions and votes at its April 9 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Agreement for use of Riverside Park concession stand and team facilities (Riverside Park team/concession lease): motion to accept the agreement was made and passed by voice vote. The board authorized signatures so the group could take possession of the facilities.
- Logansport Community Baseball: the board moved to accept the agreement for use of Fairview, Crane and Mets fields (community baseball lease). The motion passed by voice vote; staff will have board members sign the agreement.
- Babe Ruth / Fairview Steinman Field real estate lease (Logansport Babe Ruth): motion to approve the real estate lease agreement passed by voice vote. Staff confirmed the league provided required insurance and financials.
- Sports Hideout Foundation (Melbourne Park): staff reported the foundation had not paid utilities and the group’s lease was placed on hold. The board voted to table the Melbourne Park agreement; the motion to table passed.
- Memorandum of Understanding, Logansport Soccer at Houston Park: the board approved a memorandum of understanding setting daily rental terms and conditions (including a $90 per‑day rate and conditions for liability insurance). Staff reported partial payments for April and May had been received and that goals would be left in place through the season.
- Parks Board Resolution 2025‑04: the board approved Resolution 2025‑04, renaming the lower pavilion at Spencer Park to the Eel River Pavilion. Staff said the council had previously approved funding for stabilization work and listed contractors involved in the rehabilitation.
- Parks Board Resolution 2025‑05 (support for LWCF grant application for Riverside Park): staff presented the LWCF concept but asked for further public input and budget details. The board voted to table Resolution 2025‑05 to allow time for additional information and to solicit match commitments from potential funders (city council, RDC, county and others were discussed).
Where the meeting record recorded only voice votes, the minutes show motions passed by unanimous voice “Aye.” Specific roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript for these items; the board handled approvals by standard motion/second and voice vote procedures during the meeting.
