Council authorizes presenting proposed agreement to American Legion for ball-field purchase
Summary
Council approved presenting a proposed agreement, prepared by Solicitor Wachter, to the American Legion regarding the borough's possible purchase and integration of American Legion ball fields into the borough parks system; funding would come from outside sources and a private donor, and the borough may cover closing costs.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells said the borough is researching purchase of the American Legion ball fields to add to the borough parks system and that the borough would cover any closing costs if needed. Wells said funding for the acquisition would come from external sources and a private donor, and Solicitor Wachter is preparing the agreement. Council voted to approve presenting the proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review (motion by Councilor Steadman; second by Councilor Osborn).
Minutes state the council approved the motion unanimously. The meeting record does not include purchase price, donor identity, or a timetable for closing; Wells said discussions with community members and the American Legion are ongoing.
