County hires parks assistant as Little League completes major field renovations
Summary
The Court hired Zain Battis to fill a full-time Parks Department position and Little League President J. R. Chisholm reported major improvements at Harry Hill Park, including new dirt for drainage and new dugouts, with participation rising from 350 kids in 2021 to 520 last year.
Judge Bates announced that Parks employee Daniel Brown resigned and recommended hiring Zain Battis, who worked part-time last summer, as a full-time Parks Department assistant; the Court approved the hire unanimously.
Little League President J. R. Chisholm updated the Court on improvements at Harry Hill Park—new dirt on all four fields to improve drainage, three new block dugouts, and reinstallation of fencing—and said the organization has increased participation from 350 kids in 2021 to 520 last year. Chisholm said volunteers plan further fundraising for lighting on two fields, and for a concession/restroom replacement; Bates noted a KIPDA grant opportunity in August that could support a full replacement rather than an update.
