The Village of De Soto had amended Revised Code 28-4-1 Park Committee Duties. The Park Committee met with the Little League to review the changes.
Trustee Paulette Johnson had previously told Chelsea Johnson that the Village would need a copy of the key to the Little League’s shed at the park. Chelsea Johnson asked if the Little League would be contacted before the Village enters the shed. Trustee Johnson if that’s what they wanted, they would be contacted.
Mrs. Chelsea Johnson asked for clarification about field preparation personnel. She asked if volunteers using rakes had to be approved by the Village. Trustee Johnson said only persons who were using drags and four wheelers had to be approved.
Trustee Johnson explained that based on the school’s rules, the batter’s box for the girls’ teams had been off for years, unless Little League did not use the same specifications as the school. Chelsea Johnson said Little League was aware that it had been off for a long time. Mr. Wilson had sent John Johnson all the specifications, and Mr. Johnson had made a new girls’ batter’s box set up tool.
Chelsea Johnson asked about the governing of the batting cages and why they were always locked. Trustee Johnson stated that the batting cages belong to the Little League, and they could leave them open if they wanted. They have been locked because of vandalism.
Chelsea Johnson asked for clarification about the concession stand. The ordinance states that the Little League, school, etc. have the option of stocking and operating the concession stand. To be clear, this means that if they don’t stock it and operate it, it will be closed.
Casey Cross asked if anything had been done about the small field in regard to moving anything. Trustee Johnson stated that the field is not off. Robbie and John had been out several times setting it up to Mr. Wilson’s specifications, and it is correct.
The meeting adjourned at 5:50 pm.
