New Soccer Complex Petition

 

A general discussion was held on the intent of the County and City to focus on building a sports park and how MCYSA can support the process. 

 

·        MCYSA should not be in the maintenance mode of operation and this proposal would provide for a maintained complex. 

·        It would not be a MCYSA park, the County/City would oversee operation of the park and we would be part of the board and management organization.

·        Sites are being evaluated.  Nothing will be said about the location until the land is actually procured to protect land values.

·        Steve Doolittle did mention that the county did complete $38K worth of paving in the complex and the $10K for turf work.

·        There were some other short discussions about other places in the city/county area to play soccer.  Those were issues were put on hold for another time.

·        MCYSA did reiterate the need to continue to make improvements in the current complex.  All were in agreement to continue improvements.

·        MCYSA needs to continue with their petition effort to show support for the new complex.

 

The next board meeting will be Thursday January 5, 2006 at 6:30 pm
