Council holds off on Hal Murray Softball Complex expansion; will explore lighting replacement
Summary
Council members decided not to pursue an expansion grant for the Hal Murray Softball Complex due to budget constraints and limited community-driven fundraising, and asked staff to explore lighting replacement options instead.
Interim City Manager Brown briefed the council on the Hal Murray Softball Complex expansion and improvement project, telling the council that current budget constraints and significant construction costs make proceeding with a study and grant pursuit problematic. Brown contrasted the project with the Sunken Gardens effort, which had stronger community fundraising and support.
Mayor McGhehey said the council's consensus was not to pursue the expansion grant at this time and directed staff to explore alternative approaches focused on lighting replacement for the facility. No formal motion to fund an expansion study was made or approved.
