<br /> <br /> <br />7. L.A. DODGERS STATUS REPORT <br /> <br />Craig Callan, <br />Dodger Town’s Vice President of Spring Training & Minor League <br />Facility, responded to questions regarding Dodger Town. He said there were three towns in <br />Arizona that had contacted the Dodgers (Goodyear, Casa Grande, and Glendale). The Dodgers are <br />currently listening and had not yet made a decision. He informed the Board that they would be <br />notified, in advance, of any decisions, and he would continue to keep everyone abreast of all <br />developments. <br />Mr. Callan <br /> responded to others questions advising that none of the three cities have an <br />existing stadium and it would take a year or longer to build one. He said “location” was the one <br />thing the other cities had over City of Vero Beach, as the Dodgers were the only team training on <br />the east coast. <br /> <br />The Chairman thanked Mr. Callan for his update. <br /> <br /> <br />TH <br />8. 26 STREET EXPANSION PROJECT STATUS REPORT <br /> <br />Monty Falls <br />, Director of Public Works, City of Vero Beach, provided a brief report on the <br />th <br />26 Street Project, which is a joint project between the City and County. He explained that they <br />worked through that project through MPO and decided on some areas of responsibility: the City <br />rdthrd <br />was tasked with doing the section from 43 out to US-1, and the County from 6 Street to 43 <br />Avenue. They had a lot of help from Phil Matson from MPO. On Tuesday night at their Council <br />meeting they will entertain a proposal from the No. 1 Consultant selected, Kimley-Horn & <br />Associates, Inc., to get started with the actual design and move forward with that section of the <br />roadway. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden’s recollection was that the landscaping was to be mitigated from <br />the Airport and she was looking forward to that. <br />May 31, 2006 <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
