Recreation director reports $7,600 spring revenue from fields; council eyes lights funding from property-sale proceeds
Summary
Officials reported about $7,600 in spring field rental revenue with expected $5,100 in fall revenue; council discussed reinvesting sale proceeds for field lighting and other capital projects and considered borrowing for municipal property improvements.
A parks/rec speaker told the council the spring season and tournaments generated about $7,600 in revenue and projected an additional $5,100 for the fall, leaving a projected annual total near $12,700. The speaker said the department cut fertilizing costs from roughly $3,000 to $2,200, producing operational savings.
Council members discussed reinvesting proceeds from a building sale into field lighting and other capital items. The administration proposed a municipal-property borrowing plan (discussed elsewhere on the agenda) to fund shade structures, tree plantings and playground improvements while reserving sale proceeds for larger projects such as lights for Legion/playing fields.
