At the May 6, 2023 Special Election, two (2) propositions were on the ballot. Proposition A was to revitalize the city owned ball field into a community park/gathering area. Proposition B was to revitalize the city owned ball field as a ball field. The results of the election showed that the citizens wanted to renovate the field as a ball field.
