The Buildings & Grounds committee reviewed a donation application from the MV Orange Sox to rehab the north baseball field and a Carson Fence estimate dated Aug. 19, 2026. The estimate lists line items and a total of $8,352.60 for fence and related materials to extend the west side and add outfield fencing.
Committee members discussed whether to invest now given uncertain long-term use but concluded the project appears worthwhile if the donor or team maintains the field. The packet notes donation acceptance for items over $1,000 must be formally accepted by Council via resolution.
Next steps: staff will verify donation details, coordinate permits with the owner as required, and place a resolution on a future Council agenda if the Village chooses to accept the donation.
