Council backs off after fee complaints in New Castle
New Castle residents representing youth baseball and softball leagues opposed proposed field fees at a city work session. The council debated a 2007 2008 fee schedule with youth and adult rates, while league representatives warned charges could end youth play. The council suggested waiving fees if leagues invest in field upkeep and labor, with criteria on field dragging and utility costs.
