Nashville Parks Commission votes to allow 2 additional towns to join the league

Tuesday during the Parks Commissions’ regular monthly meeting, Park and Recreation Director Meghan Floyd informed the board that they didn’t have any write-ups on the 2023 audit.  Floyd also mentioned that from now on she will have sign in sheets at the meetings that way they can track attendances due to the new ordinance that was passed by the Nashville City Council. 

Floyd also told the board that they have several towns that are wanting to join the Nashville league. She provided information on how many teams that they had per year. Floyd said in 2019 they had 36 teams, 2021 they had 33 teams, 2022 49 teams, and 2023 they had 45 teams. Floyd mentioned if Horatio and Caddo Hills join their league then she projected that they would have a total of 49 teams this season. After further discussion there was a motion made by board members James Reed and seconded by Freddie Horne to allow Horatio to bring their teams and also Caddo Hills to go from a 14U team in and join the Nashville league and everyone else they will reevaluate. All were in favor of the motion. 

Floyd along with Nashville Mayor Larry Dunaway said that they attended a board meeting at the YMCA in Hot Springs to discuss a possible partnership in the Nashville location in hopes of YMCA hosting day and summer camps.

In conclusion, Floyd said the new concession programs are here along with iPads. They have installed the point-of-sale system, and they will be set up with inventory and ready to go at the first Scrapperette softball game. Floyd said that since the Nashville School District won the bid for the 4A Regional Tournament for baseball and softball then they would be responsible for preparing all the fields and in charge of the concession stand. She said the tournament will take place May 2nd through May 4th.
