RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept the donation from Billings Go Kickball in the amount of $1,451.73 for the Youth Scholarship Fund.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
In 2023, the Billings Go Kickball league was in need of field lighting for their upcoming fall season after the lights at North Park were greatly damaged due to severe storms. Through the cooperation of the BillingsParks and Recreation Department and the Billings Mustangs, the league was able to utilize Dehler Park again for their fall 2024 season. With the proceeds from the season, Go Kickball again chose the Youth Scholarship Fund as their project to benefit the community. Billings Go Kickball has utilized Billings City Parks since 2014 for their spring and fall kickball leagues.
ALTERNATIVES

- Approve the donation of $1,451.73 from Billings Go Kickball for the Youth Scholarship Fund; or,
- Not Approve the donation and provide staff with additional guidance.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There will be no additional fiscal impacts on the City's General Fund.
