Parks director secures donations for batting cages; asks council to fund ballfield red dirt
Summary
Parks and Rec Director Troy told the council he secured donations to cover new batting cages and asked the council to consider purchasing red dirt for the ballfields, promising to return with pricing at the next meeting.
Troy, Belle Plaine's Parks and Recreation director, told the council he had "secured enough donations to cover the batting cages," removing the need for city funds for that specific purchase. He asked the council to consider purchasing red dirt for the city's ballfields to complete the project but said he did not yet have pricing and would return with cost estimates at the next meeting.
Council members did not take a formal vote on field material funding during the April 1 meeting; Troy described the donations and requested guidance on whether the city would help purchase red dirt. The item was added to the agenda as an addition and will be revisited once Troy presents pricing and a recommended approach to the council.
