Residents say county fields unavailable for softball, soccer; some fear retribution
Summary
Committee member reported multiple citizens could not use county open fields for softball and soccer and that two citizens feared retribution for commenting; committee did not resolve access during the meeting.
Committee member (S1) told the Grand County Old Spanish Trail Arena Advisory Committee that multiple residents reported being unable to use county open fields for softball and soccer after practices were shifted to city and high-school fields. "They drove by because they live out here...they asked that, because the fields weren't being used at the time," S1 said, describing residents' confusion about why county fields were not available.
S1 also said two citizens declined to speak directly because they feared retribution for making comments. The committee did not reach a decision at the meeting on changes to field scheduling or access; Chair (S2) asked whether the concerns had been shared with the county administrator, and S1 said the comments had been received but not yet forwarded. The item was recorded as a citizen comment for follow-up rather than a formal action.
