Summary
Commissioners reported fewer participants at Hallie Youth Days (40 fewer boys, 30 fewer girls) and about $4,000 less in sales this year; they discussed a possible fall girls league and pursuit of grants or budget support for field lights and operations.
Commissioners heard that Hallie Youth Days saw lower turnout this year: organizers reported 40 fewer boys and 30 fewer girls than last year, and about $4,000 less in concession sales. Attendees also noted that ATM fees collected go to the girls' account, a practice Russ said he was not aware of.
The commission discussed a possible fall Hallie Girls League (three fields, six teams for five weeks at a proposed fee of $1,500 that would include dumpster, field usage and a $200 deposit) and noted the need to consider field lighting repairs and possible grants during 2026 budget planning. No formal decisions were recorded at the July 28 meeting.
