Council approves $20,000 contract with Spanish Fort Sports Association; city notes broader annual support
Summary
The council approved Resolution 15‑34‑2025 to authorize a $20,000 contract with the Spanish Fort Sports Association for youth athletics this fiscal year; council members also noted the city provides additional support including utilities and facility maintenance beyond the contract amount.
The Spanish Fort City Council adopted Resolution 15‑34‑2025 authorizing a $20,000 contract with the Spanish Fort Sports Association to support youth sports for the fiscal year. City staff said the $20,000 covers a portion of the association's annual funding needs; the association's full athletic program funding totals around $40,000 annually and the city also covers utility and maintenance costs for facilities used by the association.
Council members discussed materials presented at a recent work session, including the sports association's budget, and noted that the $40,000 annual funding plus utilities and maintenance do not fully cover all expenses. The $20,000 contract presented at this meeting applies to specific seasonal play and is part of the city's continuing cooperation with the association.
The council approved the resolution by roll-call vote; no amendments were recorded. City staff said the contract will cover football, flag football and soccer this fall and that other city-provided services (utilities, garbage pickup, field maintenance) represent additional municipal support.
