Council approves permit for adult charity softball tournament with alcohol at Gracie Nelson fields
Summary
The council granted a request to hold an adult charity softball tournament with on-site alcohol consumption at the Gracie Nelson/Graysview ball fields on September 20, 9 a.m.–8 p.m., subject to any facility constraints from ongoing construction.
The City Council approved a request from Kelsey to hold an adult charity softball tournament with alcohol at the Graysview/Gracie Nelson ball fields on Sept. 20, with proposed play hours roughly 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Kelsey asked for permission to use either two lower fields or additional upper fields depending on team sign-ups. Mayor Sealy moved approval of the permit; the motion passed by voice vote. "I'll make the motion to allow the adult charity softball tournament to consume alcohol beverages at the ball North Ball Fields or Gracie Nelson Ball Fields, September 20, Cross Lane 9AM to 8PM," a trustee stated on the record. Council discussion noted possible field access limitations if nearby road or complex construction remains underway in September and advised organizers to plan on the two bottom fields if the new complex work continues.
Why it matters: The permit allows a community fundraiser to use municipal fields and to serve alcohol on site; staff and organizers should confirm exact field availability and parking given nearby construction activity.
What’s next: Event organizers should coordinate with city staff on site layout, parking, cleanup and any required insurance or liquor-permit details before the event.
