Council accepts donation of new football equipment and authorizes sale of used gear to free storage space
Summary
The Greater Cleveland Football Foundation will donate new football equipment to the recreation department; staff proposed selling used equipment (Play It Again Sports) to recoup funds and free storage; council approved emergency placement for donation and sale ordinances.
Director Kemp told council the recreation department will receive a donation of new football equipment from the Greater Cleveland Football Foundation that will double the program's inventory. Because the city lacks storage space for both new and existing gear, Kemp proposed selling the used equipment — likely through a local retailer such as Play It Again Sports — to recoup funds and create room.
Director Deber advised the sale include a disclaimer that the city does not warrant equipment fitness or represent absence of recalls. Council approved placing the resolution accepting the donation and the ordinance authorizing sale on second reading for emergency passage; recorded votes were unanimous.
