ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS To address the Boards concern regarding maintenance of the scoreboard, the Kiwanis Club has agreed to maintain the scoreboard at their expense. Coca-Cola will supply the scoreboard. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that the County enter into an agreement with Coca-Cola Bottling Company for the supply and delivery of an electronic scoreboard. Installation and maintenance will be contributed by the Kiwanis Club. No funding is to be considered by the County. Commissioner Bowman did not see why we are going to tout Coca-Cola when our kids shouldn't even be drinking such soft drinks. She asked why we don't go to the Citrus League and ask if they wouldn't like to have a scoreboard up there with a nice big orange on it. Commissioner Bird stated that while he would rather see what Commissioner Bowman is suggesting, he would like to be able to move ahead on this as they have a timing problem. The season is starting on a brand new lighted field, and they don't have a scoreboard. Commissioner Bowman asked if we can't check on the alterna- tives. The children got along without the scoreboard for all these years, and she believed there are sign companies that could design that and get it ready for the Citrus League. Commissioner Bird advised that the scoreboard is made by an electronics company. Commissioner Eggert did not understand why Sandridge Golf Club just offers Coke and asked if there is some reason there was no request for bidding. It was noted that Sandridge is carrying Pepsi, and Commissioner Bird noted that actually the golf club has both Pepsi and Coke out there.
