“It takes some organization, even though we have what we need. Yeah, but it's been, it's not been an operation for that long. So you can't just say you're going to get up today and start, you got to look and make sure that you got the plan in place, you know, and there's different people here too. Maybe if we had the same staff, they could just step in and say, okay, let's just start this back up. But it's a risk involved, and like she said, we've got to make sure that we minimize the liability for the city.”

I just wanted to get an answer to the question that I asked regarding the football application and what is covered in that fee so that we can be clear on it. Because if I'm not mistaken, I think I heard something about the parents were being asked to purchase another football uniform. And so, I mean, I just was curious what the application fee covers.

“Okay. So how are we making sure that that's the case? Because I know I've heard some conversation and chatter. about them having to purchase additional uniforms other than what is provided. And then too, like I said, personally, a couple of years ago, I purchased some equipment for a kid that they did not provide what he needed because of his size. And if they have their parents, if the parent is paying for what is asked as far as the application fee is concerned, and if we don't have what fits the child, then we need to make sure that we get... What is needed for the child?”
