I <br />FEB 13 1985 BOOK 59 F',�cr 8 i8 <br />some ability to approach the Commission through the North County <br />Recreation Committee as they establish the budget, and he is not <br />about to set a precedent by doing something different than their <br />budget provides for the year. <br />Mr. Horne stated that he had expected they would have <br />contacted the County Commission as it is in their minutes that <br />they approve the League's concept and support his appearance <br />before the Commission to try to raise the money. He continued to <br />stress that twelve of the lights are non-functional which creates <br />a very hazardous situation as the ball can disappear into an area <br />where the children cannot see it. Mr. Horne wished to know if <br />there was not some way to work out some kind of loan situation as <br />they are working on a very tight schedule. <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that Mr. Horne has indicated that <br />the Little League has raised sufficient funds to do the fencing <br />and quite a few other repairs, and he felt that represents quite <br />a considerable amount. <br />Mr. Horne explained that what they actually have raised is <br />mainly non-cash items; the only cash is for the outfield fence. <br />They have obtained a commitment for $2,500 in labor and materials <br />for the irrigation system. <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that it is up to the Little League <br />to decide what is the most important priority; that is not the <br />Board's decision. He asked if a request was made to North County <br />Recreation for lights during their last budget year, and Mr. <br />Horne explained the Association was not formed then. Commis- <br />sioner Wodtke stated that he was extremely impressed with Mr. <br />Horne's attitude and the direction he is taking, and he felt it <br />was unfair of North County Recreation to ask him to come before <br />the County Commission alone. He continued that if North County <br />Recreation does feel this lighting is a priority and will <br />indicate they want to borrow some money because it is in their <br />budget plans for next year, he then would be willing to see if <br />there is some legal way we could approach this. <br />36 <br />
