Council agrees to present proposed American Legion ball field agreement to Legion trustees
Summary
Council authorized borough staff and Solicitor Wachter to present a draft purchase/agreement to the American Legion for review, exploring combining the ball field into the borough parks system and noting borough willingness to cover closing costs if needed.
Union City Borough Council voted on Oct. 7 to approve presenting a proposed agreement to the American Legion concerning the potential purchase and inclusion of the American Legion ball field into the borough parks system. Borough Manager Cindy Wells told council the acquisition process is still being researched with community members and that funding would come from outside sources and a private donor; the borough would cover any necessary closing costs. Solicitor Wachter is preparing the agreement. The motion to present the proposed agreement was made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn; the minutes record the motion as carried unanimously.
Wells said the borough would handle closing costs if needed and that the agreement would be between the borough and the American Legion with external funding sources. No purchase price or timeline was recorded in the minutes, and the motion at this meeting was to provide the draft agreement to the American Legion for their review rather than to finalize an acquisition.
