7. COMMISSION AND COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Chairman Solari opened the floor to the Board . <br /> Commissioner Davis learned from Administrator Baird that staff wanted to accommodate <br /> a good facility and support the concept. Their only concern was space being tight. <br /> Director Mora suggested moving the boundary line on the pond between the City <br /> property and the County property 100 feet to the west to allow for a spacious walkway ; they <br /> could then look at the pond configuration, which most likely would be larger. This would give <br /> them enough property to keep the facility nice, and allow for the 250 feet of length needed for <br /> the fields . <br /> Interim City Manager Monte Falls failed to see what shifting the boundary line 100 feet <br /> would accomplish, and wanted to know if they were talking about relocating the pond, or <br /> wanting to create more space for additional facilities . He wondered if someone could share <br /> information about the plans for the area to the north. <br /> Questioning continued by Commissioner Davis to the Councilmembers . He was seeking <br /> another alternative . He understood that the pond was necessary for water retention, but he did <br /> not feel that taking three acres and turning it into a pond was the right decision, when everyone <br /> stated at today ' s meeting that the area would be more valuable as parking space . <br /> Discussion continued whereby the City Council expressed having no problem with <br /> moving the boundary line and making the best use of the land ; however, some Councilmembers <br /> did not feel they had the authority to make that decision due to the Tenant Lease Agreement with <br /> MiLB . <br /> Joint Meeting with City of Vero Beach 6 <br /> January 11 , 2011 <br />
