Halifax County supervisors approved a memorandum of understanding to fund lighting at the Hitachi Energy softball field and authorized the county administrator to sign the agreement.
A staff presentation recalled prior discussion from an Oct. 21 meeting and said the MOU "solidifies" a plan for the county to provide $52,000 toward installation of lighting at the field. The MOU also sets out coordination for recreational use between Hitachi, the county and the YMCA.
A motion to authorize the county administrator to sign the MOU was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. Board members indicated the county had already approved funding; the MOU was presented to formalize responsibilities and allow the county to prepare payment.
The action formalizes a previously discussed local partnership that county staff described as a compromise to provide lighting for community recreation while coordinating use between Hitachi and local community partners.
