Council shifts $500 in budget to start girls’ softball program
Summary
The council approved transferring a pre-existing $500 line item to seed a local girls’ softball program for the coming year, with councilmember Lonnie saying the amount should cover shirts and initial costs.
The Green River City Council voted to transfer an existing $500 budget allocation—initially earmarked for a volleyball fundraiser—to support a pilot girls’ softball program. The request was raised during the budget discussion; Lonnie (S7) said the $500 should be sufficient for shirts in year one and that organizers can seek additional funds next year if the program expands.
Councilmember (S4) moved to approve the funding transfer and the motion was seconded; the council recorded aye votes and passed the motion. City staff said the funds will come from an existing sports-league line item and that the program will operate locally in its first year, with no travel expected.
Next steps: staff will administratively process the transfer and notify organizers that the $500 has been approved for softball startup costs.
