members visited Countrysido Community Pnrk. Mr. WilBon cxplained
that this park had previously buun "Bod for all youth sports in
the Countryside area, including football, "occar Bnd baseball.
This heavy use made 1t nlmoRt 1mpoBnlblu to maintain adequate
grass and the new facl1tt1ea on McMulled Booth Road should
alleviate this problem. For eXAmple, all soccer and football
programs will be held At McMullen Booth Road while Countryside
Community Park will be uood only for bascball. Mr. Ford asked if
additional baseball fields w1ll be constructed. and Mr. Wilson
responded that the Little League volunteers are talking 1n terms
of doing away with the one lArgu baseball field in favor of two
or three smaller fields. TheBe will be added tp the two small
fields already located at the far north end. Mr. Wilson also
explained that the new roadway nnd parking lot had recently been
constructed and that an exercise fitness trail was installed last
, week.
Following questions and answers relative to Countryside
Community Park, members indicated their pleasure of visiting
'f~cilities 8S B part of their meetings during the summer months.
The fact that many members will be on vacation during these
months was also discu9ued and consideration was given to the
possibility of cancelling m.eetings for the summer.
,However. a final decision by the Board was that the July
meeting to be held on the 22nd be conducted at Moccasin Lake Park
at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Wilson stated that he would remind all members
about this location and that members would be invited to bring
their families to tour the park a8 the Board meeting is being
conducted. Members might also wish to bring a box dinner for
their familieo at that time. All members will be contacted prior
to the meeting at Moccasin Lake Park and in the event a quorum
will not be able to attend, members will be notified that the
meeting will be cancelled.
There being no further business before the Board, members
returned to the Clearwater Bomber facility and the meeting
terminated at approximately 8:30 p.m.
