Parent asks council for travel funding for Jasper Park youth teams; councilor to review discretionary funds
Summary
Daphne McCain asked the council for donations or help paying hotels for Jasper Park and Recreation’s children’s teams traveling to the World Series in Albertville; a council member said she would have staff review discretionary funds after the meeting.
A community representative asked the council for financial help to cover hotel costs for Jasper Park and Recreation youth teams traveling to a tournament this weekend.
Daphne McCain asked the council to consider funding for Jasper Park and Recreation’s 8-and-under and 10-and-under all-star teams, explaining that the teams will travel to Albertville for the World Series and that hotel costs rose because the trip falls on the Fourth of July weekend. McCain corrected an earlier statement in the meeting, saying “my 6 u was going, but it's gonna be my 8 u and 10 u again. 6 u will not be participating.” She asked the council for donations to keep players together in nearby lodging.
A council member responded that she would have Kathy look after the meeting “and look at if it's okay with it's great. For to look at your discretionary funds too. Absolutely. Yes. I have some.” The transcript records the councilor offering to review discretionary funds with staff after the meeting; no formal appropriation or vote was recorded.
McCain thanked the council and said she would keep the council updated. The transcript does not show a formal motion or vote to allocate city funds to the teams during the meeting.
