In response to the public comment Mayor George emphasized that the goal of this agreement <br /> is to repair the fields. She explained that Foxx and Usher will be scheduled to repairs in the <br /> spring at the first thaw. She acknowledged that residents/users are looking for a public forum <br /> to address concerns and to provide feedback. The Rec and city continue to discuss this. <br /> Councilmember Litten urged Council to act quickly to memorialize the MOU, which contains <br /> input from all of the city's elected leaders and many residents. <br /> Councilmember Rader thanked the administration for its work on this issue. He remarked that <br /> he remains interested in discussing the Rec Department's role in the community. <br /> Councilmember Bullock thanked the administration and the Schools for the MOU. He and the <br /> Mayor discussed the future schedule for repairing additional fields. The Mayor stated that the <br /> City will make a determination in 2023 about which field is in most need and repair that one. <br /> After that, the city will repair one field per year until 2026, when all fields will have been <br /> touched. <br /> Councilmember Bullock advocated for being more aggressive and repairing more than one <br /> field at a time. <br /> Mayor George replied that Cove and Stonehouse fields were recently done and that a field <br /> should only need to be re-done once every 6-7 years. She remarked that the city can reevaluate <br /> if a drastic need come to its attention. She noted that the budget will be $150,000 to $200,000 <br /> per field and so six fields is substantial to the budget. <br /> President O'Malley thanked members of the public for their advocacy on this issue. <br /> On the motion: All members voted in favor.
