During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the pressing issues surrounding the Sullivan West property, highlighting concerns about its deteriorating condition and the implications for nearby Sullivan Gardens. Board member Mr. Stebb expressed urgency in addressing the property's state, emphasizing that inaction could lead to further deterioration.

Concerns were raised about the safety of the area, particularly regarding increased traffic and potential risks to the Sullivan Gardens community if the property changes hands. The discussion also touched on the Sullivan Recreation Association's long-standing stewardship of local ball fields, which they have maintained since 2009. Despite their efforts, recent inspections deemed the bleachers unsafe, prompting the association to offer to fund repairs while the maintenance department would handle the installation.

The meeting underscored the need for a formal partnership or agreement with the Sullivan Recreation Association, as no written agreement has been established since their involvement began. Officials acknowledged the importance of determining a clear direction for the future management of both the Sullivan West property and the recreational facilities, aiming to ensure safety and community engagement moving forward.
