Committee debates Little League MOU terms, $8,000 annual contribution and invoicing
Summary
Committee reviewed the Little League memorandum of understanding that caps city contribution at "up to $8,000 annually," and members pressed for clearer invoices and a possible MOU rewrite to support proposed field changes to host tournaments.
City staff read the MOU language aloud, noting the agreement "states the city agrees to contribute up to 8,000 annually before the start of each year's maintenance project to the league for the purpose of the maintenance that's described in the agreement." Committee members said the league recently sought reimbursement covering roughly two years (~$16,000) and asked that future reimbursement requests include invoices and itemized quotes.
Vince (who self‑identified in the discussion) said the league is interested in reconfiguring fields and pushing the Legion fence inward to create three usable fields so the town can host tournaments, arguing a new or revised MOU would clarify responsibilities. "...pushing that legion fence in and making it so there's now 3 softball fields so you can have city rep can run softball tournaments to bring in revenue to town," Vince said, urging a more explicit plan and written approval process.
Committee members and staff agreed any work or costs outside the MOU's stated scope (resurfacing majors/tee ball/softball, spreading decomposed granite, catcher box improvements, etc.) should be presented to Parks & Rec and documented with quotes and invoices before Finance or Council approval. Several speakers recommended redrafting the MOU before the next fiscal year to reflect the town's current priorities.
