>The lack of fields (if one choses to believe this line)or amount of use has no baring on whether one cleans up the debris from the fireworks or fills in holes on pitcher’s mounds or orders new benches does it?
This is really simple stuff here. Nothing complicated and nothing out of the ordinary.
It has nothing to do with man power, use of fields or any thing else other than laziness and incompetence on the part of Parks & Rec. from top down.
As for the budget you would have to ask each sports organization what they contribute in addition to the Parks Dept. budget for fields.
For instance, in the Spring, the RBSA spends more than 30k per year to ready the fields. And in past years as much as $52,000.00.
This amount from the RBSA is used for all of our fields, including the High School fields for Baseball and Softball, regardless of whether they are owned by the BOE or Village.
It is real simple, we pay high taxes and get poor results when it comes to the Parks & Rec. services.
