AYSO Swallows Tournament field fees
Summary
A Capo FC fee waiver exposed a bigger issue: local youth leagues say the new $55/hour rental rate is too high, and the Marco Forster fields are in rough shape. The council approved the waiver but couldn't agree on a systemic fix, and later put $300,000 toward summer field repairs.
