Heavener City Council
Heavener City Council met Thursday for a regular business meeting at Heavener’s City Hall.
Present were Mayor Max Roberts along with Council members Chris Bradford, Joey Clubb, Marvin Meredith and Jim Roll.
It was not on the agenda, but came up under new business the lack of a summer youth sports program at Blues Park and how it is hurting the town and businesses.
Jennifer Yandell brought the subject up and talked about how no games or leagues are scheduled to play at the parks again this year and are going to Poteau instead.
Park Director Steve Scantling discussed all the steps he had taken to try and resurrect the program, but had teams pull out late because they were playing in a Poteau league on the same night or for other reasons, along with problems in getting the word out to the local children.
