Borough to pursue agreement to buy American Legion ball fields; council authorizes presenting draft agreement
Summary
Union City is researching purchasing the American Legion ball fields to add to the borough parks system; the solicitor is preparing an agreement and council approved presenting the proposed agreement to the American Legion for review.
Borough staff and community members are researching a potential purchase of the American Legion ball fields and the possibility of incorporating the property into the borough parks system. Manager Cindy Wells said the borough would cover closing costs if needed and that funding would come from outside sources and a private donor. Solicitor Wachter is preparing the proposed agreement.
Council moved to approve presenting the proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review; Councilor Steadman moved the motion and Councilor Osborn seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The agreement will be presented to the American Legion for consideration and any final purchase would depend on negotiations, funding, and the Legion’s decision.
Council did not vote to purchase the property at the Oct. 7 meeting; the motion authorized only presenting the draft agreement for review.
