Summary
Council authorized Borough staff and the solicitor to present a proposed purchase agreement for the American Legion ball fields to the American Legion for review; the borough would cover closing costs if needed and pursue outside funding and private donation sources.
Council discussed ongoing work to research the process of purchasing the American Legion ball fields to incorporate them into the borough parks system. Solicitor Wachter is preparing the agreement; Manager Wells said funding for the purchase would come from outside sources and a private donor, and the borough would cover any closing costs if necessary.
Councilor Steadman moved and Councilor Osborn seconded a motion to approve presenting the proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review. The motion carried unanimously. The minutes record Council’s approval to present the agreement but do not record any financial commitment beyond covering potential closing costs or a timeline for negotiations.
