Council tables $89,000 CDC-funded Kid Football Field improvements
Summary
City Council tabled consideration of up to $89,000 in Community Development Corporation funds for improvements to the Iowa Park Kid Football Field after questions about eligible expenditures, ownership of equipment and specific line items.
The Iowa Park City Council on March 10 tabled a Community Development Corporation (CDC) proposal to spend up to $89,000 on improvements at the Iowa Park Kid Football Field.
The proposed Type B CDC expenditures listed a fencing cost of $47,500, a privacy barrier at $16,790, sprigging the field with Bermuda at $8,000, a garage door at $1,543.53, painting a 20x40 building for $7,000 and a riding mower priced at $7,726.72. City Manager Jerry Flemming reported he believed, based on prior attorney guidance for Type B projects, that the CDC could not purchase the mower and that a mower would have to be owned by the City. Councilwoman Stephanie Wooten also said she wanted the fence privacy barrier removed from the proposal.
Councilwoman Sherrie Williams moved to table the item; Councilwoman Wooten seconded the motion, which carried with five ayes (unanimous). The item will return to a future meeting after staff and legal clarification about allowable CDC expenditures and ownership of equipment.
