MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
Susan Simpson, Cultural and Human Services Director
1/19/2012
In-Kind Partnership with North Miami Beach Little League
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution to partner
with the North Miami Beach Little League to provide a baseball program to Sunny Isles
Beach residents through the in-kind use of the baseball field at Pelican Community Park.
REASONS:
North Miami Beach Little League offers an organized, quality, instructional baseball
program to Sunny Isles Beach and other Northeast Miami-Dade County residents. 276
players are currently enrolled of which over 10% are Sunny Isles Beach residents and/or
attend the Norman S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8. Several fields are needed to host a
program of this size. Additional fields are provided by the City of North Miami Beach.
Through the City's in-kind donation of free use of the baseball field during regular park
hours and the use of volunteer coaches and umpires, the program will be affordable to all
who wish to participate with several scholarships available to those who need it.
Additionally, it is a convenience for our residents to practice and play on their 'home
field'.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This program will be the baseball component of the Cultural and Human Services
Athletics Division program schedule. Expenses for any NMBLL games outside of the
regular Pelican Community Park hours will be invoiced to NMBLL thereby avoiding any
additional expense to the City to offer this program at a City park.
