The Recreation program offers the teams the option of which 2. teams they don't want to have participate or come up with some alternative arrangement. Perhaps next year the teams could be determined on a lot basis. The situation where all other leagues have 7 teams allows them to start and end at special times. Page 52, Vol. 25 May 1, 1989 Brian Sobel noted he is addressing the young girls, not the ladies' scheduling problems. The City Manager noted the age group addressed by Councilman Sobel is not part of the City's Recreation program.
