Council approves presenting proposed agreement to American Legion on ball-field purchase
Summary
Council authorized presenting a proposed agreement, prepared by the borough solicitor, to the American Legion for review as the borough researches purchasing and integrating the American Legion ball fields into the municipal parks system.
Union City Borough Council voted Oct. 7 to present a proposed agreement to the American Legion as part of ongoing work to explore acquiring the American Legion ball fields and adding them to the borough parks system. The agreement, prepared by Solicitor Wachter, would make the borough responsible for closing costs if necessary; the purchase and any funding would rely on outside sources and a private donor. The motion was made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn and carried unanimously.
Manager Cindy Wells said the borough is still researching the process and working with community members. The council approved presenting the proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review, signaling council’s willingness to pursue the acquisition while contingent funding and agreement details are finalized.
