No Board action required or taken. <br />10.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM SEBASTIAN SOCCER ASSOCIATION <br />REGARDING NORTH COUNTYPARK LIGHTING <br />Cory Richter, President, Sebastian Soccer Association, presented slides depicting <br />the growth of the soccer fields from inception to the present time. He provided background <br />history of the Soccer Association; discussed its mission and benefits to the County's youth; and <br />provided details on the current program as well as its plans for future growth. He discussed the <br />need for lighting at the soccer complex at the North County Park, and thereafter asked the Board <br />to grant the Soccer Association's request for the lights. <br />Administrator Baird commented that the Soccer Association was an example of the <br />type of private/public partnership that the County looks for in Recreation, and he would like to <br />look at County funding for the lights at a future time. Right now, there are already projects in <br />the Comprehensive Plan which have been postponed, and which must be done before new <br />projects are undertaken. <br />Discussion ensued, as the worthiness of the Soccer Association was affirmed by <br />the Board, which desired to have staff come back with an account of how the Park Impact Fees <br />are being spent, to see if funding for the lighting can be found. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, for discussion, <br />to have staff come back with a reprioritization of Park <br />Impact Fee dollars, with an emphasis on finding the <br />funding for the lighting at the North County Park. <br />July 15, 2008 23 <br />
