City to assume youth sports programs; coach York Gadlin becomes city employee
Summary
After partnering with the Boys and Girls Club for several years, the city will run youth recreation programs in fiscal 2027; staff plan a $90,000 transfer from the general fund to cover salaries and operations and have moved Coach York Gadlin onto the city's payroll.
Presenter told council the city will take on leadership of youth sports programs in fiscal 2027 and will absorb program staff previously paid by the Boys and Girls Club of Northeast Texas. He said Coach York Gadlin, who the audience "many of y'all know," will be transferred and is "technically a city employee now."
Staff budgeted a conservative revenue estimate of $65,000 in registration fees (based on historic receipts) and modest concession and rental income; the proposed fiscal plan includes a $90,000 transfer from the general fund for start-up operations. The Presenter said the city will aim to keep registration costs low for a majority low-fixed-income community and expects to operate on a shoestring in year one while building participation.
