Mistakes may have been made and this is just our way of saying let s understand and let s move on, Chairman David Rhoads said Wednesday. Late last year, the Parks Commission Chairwoman Cynthia Bird told her colleagues that she received reports that the Little League did not enforce mask-wearing. She said she received this information from the soccer league, which shares the field with the baseball league. The commission took no action because the Little League season was over. But it did agree to discuss the issue with the league at some point. Blaisdell first noted that the Parks Commission is not an investigative or enforcement entity in regard to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. He said this responsibility lies with himself, the Board of Health, and outside of business hours the Police Department.
Chairwoman Cynthia Bird told her colleagues that she received reports from the soccer league that mask-wearing among Little League spectators was not enforced during the season. They need to be abiding by the rules like everyone else does, Bird said. The soccer league made sure they were doing everything the right way, and we have this other league where no one is wearing masks. She said this was a concern of the soccer league, which shared a field with the baseball league. Little League members cross the soccer field and use the same park entrance. Bird said the soccer league actually came before the commission to present its COVID-19 protocols.
