The Wellsville Board of Aldermen voted unanimously at its meeting on Oct. 22 to allow the Wellsville Community Athletic League to accept a $10,000 grant from Google as well as purchase new playground equipment.

Mayor Howard Steele said the grant will be split in two different amounts – $7,000 and $3,000. The playground will be built at the old sand volleyball pit that is located next to Dairy Mart on West Hudson Street.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a very big one because when you go pricing that stuff, it gets really expensive,” Steele said. “They had a meeting recently and that’s what they wanted to do.”

The Wellsville Community Athletic League was established in 2025 as a summer baseball/softball league for children in the Wellsville area. Games are played at Kiwanis Ballpark.

Also, board members approved the annual audit report for April 25, 2025-March 31, 2026. They also approved Kenney Hales from the Kansas City area to perform the annual audit that is tentatively planned for June 23-24, 2027.

Alderperson Paula Adams was voted to become the new alternate director to the Governing Board of the Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission, which serves water in 14 counties, including Montgomery.
