2. Commissioner Alexander’s Proposal on Youth Sports Partnerships

City Commission Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City Commission of Palatka is considering a proposal to explore partnerships that could increase youth access to ball fields. This idea was brought forward by County Commissioner Josh Alexander and is currently under review by the City Commission. The initial discussion suggests this could potentially be handled through an interlocal agreement or a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between city and county recreation departments. Further steps involve county recreation staff and Commissioner Alexander meeting to clarify needs and develop options before presenting more detailed information to the Commission. This early stage means contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like sports facility maintenance, field preparation, or recreational program support could engage now to understand potential future needs. Reaching out early allows businesses to be part of the conversation as plans develop, before formal bids or permits are issued.
