Council weighs facility-use process after competing youth-sports applications
Summary
Council discussed conflicts among facility applicants, emphasizing that applicants must apply and the Council approves dates; members suggested prioritizing core local groups and holding a liaison meeting between Northfield Little League and FAN to coordinate schedules.
Council discussed several facility-use applications and whether dates and times should be left on applications or managed centrally by Council approval. Clerk Mary Canesi explained the ordinance requires applicants to apply and the Council to approve dates; she said users "can't release a date and give it to someone else. We need to be consistent."
Council members said Northfield Little League and FAN are core local users and suggested a liaison meeting to work out schedules; Solicitor Facenda noted Council has the authority to decide and any process changes would require Council action. Councilman Polistina and others agreed to pursue coordination but said changes would not be immediate.
