Request of the Park and Recreation Commission
for use of the City Parks for Tournaments
Mr. Jim Conkle appeared before the Council represent-
ing Richland Youth Association. Mr. Conkle stated
RYA wanted to use Richfield Park to hold their
baseball tournaments July 2 through 23, 1977. They
would charge a spectator admission of $1.00 for
adults and $0.75 for children.
Councilman Mills moved, seconded by Councilman
Conant, to approve RYA the use of Richfield Park
and charge the spectator fee for July 2 through 23,
1977. Motion carried 6-0.
Mayor Pro Tern Cato advised the Council the City had
received a letter in September of 1972, that stated
if a fee was charged the money would have to be put
back in the park fund for use only on park equipment.
The City could charge a fee and not an outside
organization.
Mayor Newman stated he had received a letter from
the Texas Parks and Wildlife that stated an outside
organization could charge. Mayor Newman stated he
had talked with Mr. Kopp personally and as long as
it was a non-profit organization, they could charge.
RYA is non-profit.

Mayor Newman stated all the City had to do was send
a letter to the Texas Parks and Wild Life Department
advising them what RYA wanted to do.
After discussion, Councilman Mills moved, seconded
by Councilman Conant, to amend his motion to read,
"approval given RYA contingent on the letter being
written to the Texas Park and Wild Life Department,
no answer constitutes an OK. II
Mayor Newman adjourned the Special Council Meeting
of June 15, 1977.
