He then invited questions from the Board <br />Board members questioned Mr Hockenhull regarding costs and the choice of <br />company for the project. He also answered questions regarding annual operating costs and <br />maintenance expectations. <br />Discussion ensued among Board members regarding whether the budget could <br />accommodate this request. Administrator Baird felt they could allocate recreational impact fees <br />towards that if the Board wished to consider it. <br />The $1.2 million for Musco puzzled Attorney Collins because the budget (handed <br />out) has them at a range of $400,000 to 430,000 and he was not seeing the other $600,000 Mr. <br />Hockenhull was attributing•to them. <br />• <br />Mr. Hockenhull stated that Musco's was actually done in phases, and there were <br />three phases to the project. <br />Chairman Wheeler thought it was honorable that the Soccer Association had gone <br />out on its own and was not dependent on government to supply everything He commended the <br />request and supported it. Commissioner Flescher agreed. <br />• <br />March 6, 2007 37 <br />
