4. Citizen comments/presentations regarding items not on the agenda
Danny Vincent, Colleyville Baseball Association Commissioner addressed the board
concerning the use of field 9. He feels priority has been given to the Classic
Baseball League over the Colleyville Baseball Association recreation teams. He
indicated the Classic League has only three teams whereas there are nine
recreational teams. The Classic teams are allowed to use the field on Tuesday and
Thursdays and the recreation teams have the field on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. Because of the greater number of recreation teams they are forced to
schedule games later into the evening. The board was unable to respond to Mr.
Vincent's concerns since he did not have an item on the agenda. Monica Sue
Walsh asked Mr. Vincent to contact her later to discuss the matter further.
