Summary
On first reading, the council agreed to allocate a $175,000 donation from the Milbank Ball Diamond Association/Heart of Milbank toward Legion Field capital projects including a new concession stand, bathrooms, concrete for the batting cage, and fencing. The allocation was moved into park capital and the ordinance passed first reading by roll call 5–0.
Council members approved the first reading of Ordinance 867 on April 13, authorizing a supplemental budget to apply a $175,000 donation from the Milbank Ball Diamond Association/Heart of Milbank to park capital for Legion Field improvements. The funds are proposed to support a new concession stand, bathrooms, concrete for the batting cage, and new fencing at Pribyl Park.
Discussion focused on appropriate budget-line allocation between Legion Field and general parks accounts; council amended the ordinance to direct the donation to park capital, then approved the first reading by roll call (5–0). Finance Officer Cynthia Schumacher noted the donation and recommended routing the funds through park capital accounts for clarity in future project accounting.
