ASBURY PARK — City school officials met for four hours Thursday with Asbury
Park Little League President Danny McKee to resolve the latest obstacle to
McKee moving ahead with the installation of night lights and construction of
dugouts and a small field house for the league field at the high school.
Garrett Giberson, the school board's chairman of the building and grounds
committee, said the negotiations were positive toward resolving differences
over
an access agreement McKee and Giberson himself had only learned this week
was required for the league to sign before proceeding.
"He (McKee) will report back to his league board and will make a decision on
whether to accept the agreement or not," Giberson said.
The Little League has raised over $200,000 the past two years to upgrade the
field which the league shares with the Asbury Park High School girls
softball team at the high school.
The school board, with the input of the new state fiscal monitor, Mark
Cowell, and board attorneys, had raised a number of issues during the fall
that
delayed McKee moving ahead with the second phase and most costly improvements
to the field -- the new lights, dugout and small building.
Those issues, including whether it would be better to have the league start
over creating a new field behind the intermediate school, were believed to
have been settled until this week when the question of an access agreement was
raised.
Giberson said Thursday night he could not disclose what had been negotiated
during the meeting. He said he would report to board President Robert DiSanto
and hoped a special meeting can be held next week for the board to sign off
on a new agreement.
Attorney Thomas DeSeno is representing the league. McKee could not be
reached for comment.
