Council approves presenting proposed agreement to American Legion about ball-field acquisition
Summary
Council agreed to present a proposed agreement—being prepared by Solicitor Wachter—to the American Legion as the borough explores purchasing the American Legion ball field and incorporating it into the borough parks system; the borough indicated it would cover closing costs if needed.
Council authorized staff to present a proposed agreement to the American Legion regarding a potential purchase of the American Legion ball field and inclusion in the borough parks system. The agreement, which Solicitor Wachter is preparing, would leave funding to outside sources and a private donor while the borough would cover closing costs if necessary.
The motion to present the proposed agreement for the American Legion’s review was made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn and carried unanimously, according to the minutes. Council discussion indicated that community members are involved in researching the purchase and that the borough’s role would be limited to closing-cost assistance and agreement execution.
