Council removes Crosscutters lease from table, approves agreement with Cutting Edge Baseball LLC
Summary
Council removed from the table and approved a lease agreement with Cutting Edge Baseball LLC (the Crosscutters) after clarifying that Major League Baseball references in the contract relate to the MLB Draft League and not the Little League Classic. The resolution passed 4-0.
Williamsport City Council removed a previously tabled lease agreement with Cutting Edge Baseball LLC — the Crosscutters — from the table and approved the lease on a 4-0 vote.
Councilman Mackey had previously raised questions about language in the contract that referenced Major League Baseball. Mackey said he confirmed that the contract language pertains to the MLB Draft League affiliation and does not obligate the city for the separate Little League Classic game, for which no contract currently exists. After Mackey said his concerns were satisfied, council voted to approve the lease.
The mayor joined the meeting by phone to summarize that the contract had been reviewed and that questions raised earlier had been answered. Council approved the resolution with a unanimous 4-0 vote.
