Resident urges Pittsburg to develop community soccer fields
Summary
A Pittsburg resident urged commissioners to support building dedicated soccer fields and proposed a Shifford Decker complex; the comment was received during the public-input period and prompted no immediate staff action at the meeting.
During the public-input portion of the July 22 commission meeting, resident Junior Ramirez of 715 West Ninth Street asked commissioners to consider creating dedicated soccer fields for the Pittsburg community.
Ramirez said there is currently no safe, dedicated place for the community to play soccer other than sharing facilities at Pittsburg State University. He proposed a Shifford Decker complex and referenced a June 16 Parks and Recreation social-media post indicating community interest. Ramirez said fields would serve children, adults and the broader community by providing local recreational opportunities.
The comment was received during the public-input time; no formal action or staff direction was recorded at the meeting.
