The Sartell City Council and the Sartell Baseball Association have renegotiated a lease agreement to include Champion Field in the lease, along with Pinecone Central Park.
The city currently leases those parks to the Sartell Baseball Association (also known as the Sartell Athletic Club) for its ballgames and other functions. The association does upkeep at the parks, runs concessions and has volunteers do many tasks at the parks.
The association requested the city combine both parks in the renewed lease for the sake of smoother, more convenient management. Nothing will change essentially, and the new agreement has no budget impact upon the city.
The council approved the lease unanimously.
