The recommended audit will review the current contracts, identify the organizations involved and outline the terms regarding community access, including public notice and availability of the fields. It will also assess compliance with contract terms, focusing on penalties for breaches and procedures for contract termination related to community access issues.
The challenge is that some of these contracts have very long timelines and some of them, it seems, were not necessarily written as specifically as they needed to be. Additionally, some of them were signed for very long time periods and the situation on the ground has changed in the 10 to 15 years since.
Local leagues have expressed frustration with restrictions that prevent adults sharing fields with youth sports organizations, and some board members expressed discontent with access points to fields.
When you see that there are times when fields are unused or there is opportunity for support with repair, maintenance and operations, which continues to come up over and over again, it is certainly worth examining those situations further.
