Meeting: Regular Meeting of the City Council
Item: 7. STATUS UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19 ORDERS AND REGULATIONS
AFFECTING TUSTIN RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES.
eComment: My name is Amanda Lebrecht. I am a resident of Tustin, currently serve on the
board for Tustin Girls' Softball League and my children have played for Tustin Western Little
League since 2014. Both are non-profit softball and baseball leagues for children ages 4 to 14.
We utilize fields at Columbus Tustin, Tustin Sports Park and Hewes Elementary. Our leagues
bring so much value to our community and work tirelessly with city officials to ensure that our
facilities and residents remain the top priority. When evaluating the opening of parks and field
rentals for youth sports, I encourage you to reflect upon the many positive contributions these
and other leagues like AYSO, TELL and Tustin Pony have made to the City of Tustin. How hard
we've advocated for equity in youth sports and how much value we've brought to our community.
As a result, I implore you to vote to open outdoor group facility rentals as soon as possible.
Please give us, the leaders of your community sports organizations and also concerned parents
of your city the opportunity to return our kids to the fields trusting that we'll take every precaution
to ensure their safety. Let our children who have been sheltered at home be reminded that they
live in the City of Trees. Please don't force your residents who have chosen to live and shop in
Tustin to consider joining youth sports in other cities who make it a priority this summer. The
greatest concern expressed throughout this pandemic has been the mental and physical health
of our society. Supporting and playing sports is a national pastime and a major component in
that endeavor. Please allow the parents of your City the opportunity to decide what is right for
our children. Allow youth sports leagues the opportunity to facilitate that choice. Thank you,
Amanda Lebrecht
