<br />Council minutes - page 3 <br />February 19, 1980 <br /> <br />LITTLE LEAGUE FEES <br />DISCUSSION CONTID <br /> <br />Councilman Domenico stated that he thought <br />the Service Expansion Fund should be used <br />to pick up a part of the fees. <br />Mr. Stahl stated that the Service Ex- <br />pansion fund is basically designed to build <br />capitol projects and buy capitol equipment <br />and not designed for operational type items. <br /> <br />Councilman Carnival stated that he thought <br />the swimming pool operational costs came <br />from the Service Expansion fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Wur1 stated that he did not think <br />the swimming pool operation costs came <br />from the fund and noted that the primary <br />consideration was for parks construction <br />and eventually when building stops in the <br />City there will no longer be monies going <br />into the fund. <br />Councilman Meier requested that the par- <br />ents and coaches involved let Council <br />know what their feelings and wishes are. <br /> <br />Don Cummings 1100 Grant Ave. stated that <br />the coaches talked with parents and came <br />up with their opinions as follows: <br />The group does not want full subsidation <br />from the City; however, they do not want <br />to have the fees increase as this will <br />cause financial burdens on families with <br />more then one participating child or families <br />which have children participate in more <br />then one program. <br />The group does not want businesses to spon- <br />sor the teams as many groups are selective <br />and some children will not get to parti- <br />cipate. <br />The group felt that the program should not <br />be designed to make money, but to be avail- <br />able to all children who want to participate. <br />He noted that the children represent the City, <br />children who will some day be running this <br />City and should be given a chance to parti- <br />cipate in their future. <br /> <br />Dennis Ferrera 248 Centennial Dr. stated <br />that in wrestling there is a $10 fee at <br />40 participants, there should be $800 spent <br />on wrestling, however, as of today only <br />$130 has been spent. <br /> <br />Mayor Waschak asked for a breakdown of where <br />the fees have gone. <br /> <br />Mr. Stahl noted that the budget is for the <br />entire year of 1980 and only two months <br />
