5. Discussion and Consideration of Fee Structure at Reagan Park for the Baseball/Softball
Practice Fields
Monica Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director, gave a overview of how Reagan Park athletic fields are
reserved. Reagan Park athletic fields are reserved by Colleyville Baseball Association (CBA) and
Colleyville Girl's Softball Association (CGSA) during their fall and spring seasons for practices. When
the fields are not being used by the YSA, they will be available to anyone to use on a first-come first-
serve basis during daylight hours. If someone wants to guarantee that they will have the field, they may
reserve it.
Staff is recommending the fee for residents be $35 without lights and $50 with lights and non-resident
fees be $60 without lights and $100 with lights. This is for a two hour session with the same guidelines
in place as reserving practice fields. Colleyville Baseball Association and Colleyville Girl's Softball
Association have approved this fee scale.
After discussion, Brian Estridge made a motion to accept the staff's recommendations for reserving
Reagan Park. Vince Rosen seconded the motion. The motion passed with 5 yeas and 1 nay.
