Discuss and act on conveying the two baseball fields east of the Boys and Girls Club to the Boys and Girls Club, subject to subdividing the tract located at the Red River Fair Grounds and the future approval of documents necessary to effect said conveyances. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said there were two issues, citing one of the baseball fields was part of a larger piece of land owned by the City and that would first have to be subdivided. She said the other issue was for a municipality to donate land, that it had to be for a public purpose and it had to be perpetual. Ms. Harris said for example, if the land were to be sold later by the Boys and Girls for something other than what it was being donated for, it could not happen but would revert back to the City. Mayor Clifford said he was in support of conveying the two baseball fields to the Boys and Girls Club. He also said that Council Member Savage could not be at the meeting but that he wanted to let everyone know that he was in support of this item. Council Member Stone expressed support citing she was for anything that was good for the children. Council Members Hughes, Portugal, Knox and Pilgrim also supported this item. Subject to the provision of subdividing the tract and that the conveyance remain perpetual as set out by Ms.Harris, a Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Pilgrim and seconded by Council Member Knox.
