Board votes 4-2 to place Dixie League under county Recreation Department
Summary
After public comments alleging mismanagement and unequal treatment, the Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted 4-2 to dissolve the volunteer Dixie League Board and move youth baseball/softball oversight to the county Recreation Department.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted March 9 to dissolve the volunteer-run Dixie League Board and transfer oversight of youth baseball and softball programs to the county Recreation Department.
Supervisor Jody Early moved to dissolve the Dixie League Board and place the program under County Recreation leadership (identified in the meeting as "Kurt"); Ronnie Collins seconded the motion. The motion carried 4-2 on roll call (AYES: Greg Horton, Ronnie Collins, Jody Early, Bill Bryant; NAYS: Tracy Moore, Joey Dickson). The vote followed more than a dozen minutes of public comment from parents and volunteer coaches who alleged denied registrations, questioned fee transparency and raised concerns about field maintenance and gender equity.
Board members expressed differing views about timing and readiness for an operational transition. Supervisor Tracy Moore, who voted no, said she had served on the Dixie committee and cited previous transparency efforts, while others said county staff could handle a transition and accountability concerns required county oversight. The Board did not set a published timeline in the meeting minutes for when the Recreation Department would assume day-to-day operations.
