Several commissioners expressed support for restoring youth-league funding to prior levels and asked staff for a distribution plan so the change can be incorporated into the final budget.
Commissioner Carey asked whether the request originated with league leadership; staff said the mayor forwarded a resident request and that the city had earlier communicated anticipated reductions in funding to leagues. Staff said restoring $45,000 would return funding to current-year levels ($125,000 total previously, proposed at $80,000), and agreed to provide a breakdown of how many leagues are funded and how the $45,000 would be distributed at the next budget meeting.
