r <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock also felt we are fortunate to have <br />someone of Mr. Horne's caliber taking an interest in the North <br />County sports program, but it seems there are several problems <br />involved in the fact that North County Recreation was not <br />approached last year for these lights - there was disagreement <br />about this ballfield; there was a rift with Fellsmerp; and it is <br />a complicated situation. He agreed with Commissioner Wodtke that <br />the County Commission cannot get involved unless North County <br />Recreation is willing to set some priorities. He felt the <br />Commission is recommending that Mr. Horne go back to North County <br />Recreation and see if he can establish this request as one of <br />their priorities for the coming year, and if he can establish <br />that with a certain dollar framework, then possibly the County <br />Commission can work out some sort of loan situation. <br />Mr. Horne noted that he really is caught between two groups <br />and everyone is competing for funds. He would like to get these <br />two groups together, and asked if Commissioner Bird might be able <br />to attend the next meeting of North County Recreation with him. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock believed that Commissioner Bird had <br />told him that North County Recreation does not have this request <br />as a priority, but would address it next year. <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that time is of the essence <br />and to put the quietus on.this whole next Little League season <br />could result in the whole thing falling apart. Mr. Horne <br />confirmed that if they cannot have this field ready on March <br />19th, they do not have the facilities for their next season <br />because the Fellsmere and Sebastian fields are not available and <br />the Roseland field is not ready. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock noted that Commissioner Bird will be <br />back in town at the end of the week, and he would suggest that <br />Mr. Horne request a special meeting of the North County <br />Recreation group and have a representative from the City of <br />Sebastian at the meeting also. Based on the results of such a <br />meeting, Mr. Horne then could come back to the County Commission. <br />. 37 BOOK �;� �'fa�� 8� <br />E 13 1985 <br />I <br />
