WETUMPKA, Ala. - The city of Wetumpka is shedding more light on the weekend controversy that brought the closure, and then reopening of its sports fields to the Wetumpka Youth Baseball and Softball League. The two sides reached an agreement during an emergency meeting Sunday but provided no details at the time.
The city said it became aware that the league was subleasing the fields to a for-profit business group without the city’s knowledge or permission. In response, the city requested financial disclosures from the league to assess the situation and to address the legality of the league’s conduct. On Monday, the league reversed its initial statements to the city, the city contends. The city also said it has yet to receive most of the financial records it was promised.
“The City has a duty to ensure that all City property, which has been paid for by taxpayer dollars is used for its citizens and does not benefit private entities,” the city said in a statement.
