Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the acceptance of $15,000 from St. Louis County for improvements to the Western Duluth Little League Field at Wheeler Field. In 2017, the Western Little League and the City identified improvements to the Little League Field at the Wheeler Athletic Complex, including new access roads, grass infield, upgraded fencing, and a new concession stand. The county was approached for funding support for the improvements and has generously offered to provide $15,000 for the improvements and for advertising rights consisting of a sign acknowledging the county. The county asked that the city maintain the sign for ten years, and replace the sign in the event it is destroyed within five years of placement.
