LITTLE LEAGUE MASTER PLAN COMPLEX UPDATE
Mr. Glasoe provided background and status on this item.
Mayor/President Willson asked if they are going to have an ice rink. Mr. Glasoe stated they have
discussed this many times over the years and came to the conclusion that skating hasn't been
very popular, but it is something they have looked at and are open to maybe putting one in at
some point. He noted just because it isn't in the current plan doesn't mean it can't be added later
on. Mayor/President Willson asked if the wetland could be an option for a rink. Mr. Glasoe
stated that has been brought up before and they looked at it and it hasn't yet been decided if it
would work or not, but they will continue to look at it. Mayor/President Willson stated he likes
the master plan because it consolidates the different activities and fields into their own areas.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves asked if there are ice rinks at other parks nearby. Mr.
Glasoe stated there are quite a few ice rinks at parks around the City.
The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to support this item and direct staff to
proceed with the planning.
