“the city council is headed toward a decision that will harm a beautiful thing in Cordova. The city's assertion that the maintenance and services provided for the Little League equals $6,644 is shocking to me. The fees were not broken down in the council's packet, so I went back to the budget workshop on April 9th this year.”

From the transcript
The Little League season is a busy schedule that typically runs 6 days a week in May and June. Between batting practice, fielding practice, pitching practice, drills, scrimmages, and games, our kids and volunteers go hard to make Little League happen. I watched the YouTube recording of the budget work session from October 29th, and I believe the city council is headed toward a decision that will harm a beautiful thing in Cordova. The city's assertion that the maintenance and services provided for the Little League equals $6,644 is shocking to me. The fees were not broken down in the council's packet, so I went back to the budget workshop on April 9th this year.
