The Petersburg borough assembly agreed to transfer the maintenance and licensed use of Mort Fryer Ballfield Park to the local Little League organization on Monday. The assembly voted unanimously to pass the resolution and hopefully save the borough on maintenance and upkeep costs.

The agreement between the borough and Little League will end in 2018. Little League district administrator for Southeast Alaska Duane Bell attended the assembly meeting and spoke in support of the agreement to transfer.

Bell said the change has been in the works for quite awhile, and it would benefit both parties....
