facility improvements is going and if recommendations can be made. Mr. Leiper
indicated that a group of league presidents meet with the parks department regarding
recommendations.
Director Renteria stated that although the parks department does a wonderful job, more
manpower is needed. Mr. Leiper stated that the East League had agreed that if the City
bought it, the league would be responsible for the upgrades and that discussion is more
for the Council rather than MDD. Mr. Lciper also stated that to expedite the service need
getting done is to contract it out but it would increase the cost and get less done.
