City Council advances plans for sports complex

Stinnett told City Manager Mark Rohr that he thinks it likely could require more people to attend to the sports park in addition to all other parks duties.

Another council member, Bill Scearce, said he thinks the athletic complex will demand more attention of parks workers, and that parks maintenance could then suffer.

Rohr told Stinnett, “I’d rather ask for more later if needed,” than to spend more and then find out the additional expense wasn’t necessary.

Ordinances to allow hiring of the additional staff and to set use fees for the park are to be presented to the council for formal action in June, it was decided.

The proposed fees are as follows.

n Passes that would allow 24-hours-a-day play on the tennis courts would be $100 for individuals and $200 for families. Court rentals would be $10 per hour for general use or $8 per hour per court for high school and college tournaments, and $5 for practice. Tennis lessons would be $30 per person, and leagues would be $50 per person.

n Baseball field charges would be $175 per game and $50 per practice.

n Soccer charges would be $10 per player for youth leagues and $15 for adult leagues, with tournaments costing $25 per match for high school and college play, and $50 per adult match. Soccer instructions would cost $10 per player.

Softball players

Softball players concerned about access to city fields attended Monday night’s meeting and were told that some dates had been opened at Bassman Field. They also were told that there is to be no lock on Bassman Field, and if it is not in use, it is available for practices. Practice also will be allowed on grass fields at the new Joplin Athletic Complex at First Street and Tri-State Road, north of Schifferdecker Park.
