I AM.OH, SORRY. AND THEN, IF YOU HAVEN'T MET ME BEFORE, I GUESS JUST FOR A QUICK INTRODUCTION, I AM ANDREW SIMMONS. I'VE BEEN THE CITY ENGINEER WITH THE CITY FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS, AND RECENTLY, SINCE MARISSA HAS LEFT, I'VE BEEN APPOINTED TO DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK I DON'T KNOW, I'D LIKE TO THANK MARISSA AND VINCE AND JESSICA FOR. FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK AND ALL THEIR STAFF. ALSO FOR DOING A GREAT JOB AND DOING A GREAT JOB AT OUR BASEBALL FIELDS AND FACILITIES. THAT'S A GREAT REPRESENTATION. WHEN WE HAVE OTHER CITIES COME OVER AND PLAY IN OUR FIELDS, IT'S JUST A GREAT A GREAT PRESENTATION. YOU KNOW, IT JUST SHOWS THE FONDNESS AND HOW TIGHT THE CITY AND THE LEAGUES ARE WHEN IT COMES TO STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I THINK, I THINK. JESSICA'S NEW STAFF AND YOU KNOW, THANK YOU EVERYTHING FOR EVERYTHING. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS JUAN RODRIGUEZ. I'M THE BSA BOARD PRESIDENT, OUR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT IS JOSE DENISE, VICE PRESIDENT AMANDA TORRES, OUR LEAGUE SECRETARY IS JUDITH MANDUJANO, WHICH IS PRESENT. OUR SECRETARY OF LEGAL AFFAIRS WOULD BE JUAN RODRIGUEZ AND OUR VICE CHAIR. BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL AND HEAD OF UMPIRES WOULD BE RAYMOND RAYMOND WILLIAMS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. AND OUR SOFTBALL COMMISSIONER AND SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD BE DIRECTOR ELIZABETH HERNANDEZ, OUR BASEBALL COMMISSIONER IS GABRIEL LANDEROS. OKAY. SO OUR 2024 SPRING SEASON, WE HAD 13 TEAMS, 112 SOFTBALL TEAM. OUR 13 FROM OUR 13 TEAMS. THEY RANGE FROM SIX YEAR OLDS ALL THE WAY TO 12 YEAR OLDS. WE PLAY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH AN
[00:05:03]
OVERFLOW OR MAKEUP GAMES PLAYED ON FRIDAYS ON SATURDAYS AT MCDONOUGH PARK. THIS SEASON, OUR TEAMS PARTICIPATED IN THREE LITTLE LEAGUE DAYS AT DODGER STADIUM. THE TEAMS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND DODGER GAMES, AND PRIOR TO THE START OF THE GAMES, OUR TEAMS PARADED AROUND AT THE WARNING TRACK AND THEY ALSO TOOK TOURS OF THE STADIUM. SO THAT WAS AN EVENT AND AFFILIATION WE HAVE WITH WITH THE DODGERS, WHERE OUR TEAMS COULD PARTICIPATE IN THREE GAMES THEY ATTEND WITH THEIR TEAMS, THEY GET THEIR TEAM NAME AND OUR LEAGUE UP IN THE JUMBOTRON. SO THAT WAS THREE OPPORTUNITIES. OUR LAST ONE WAS JUST ON MAY, THIS LAST SUNDAY VERSUS THE ANGELS. SO THAT WAS THE COMPLETION WITH THE DODGERS. ANOTHER ONE OF OUR AFFILIATIONS IS WITH THE PALM SPRINGS POWER. PALM SPRINGS POWER ALSO PROVIDE TICKETS TO ALL CBSA PLAYERS AND COACHES. THE PALM SPRINGS POWER SEASON STARTS MAY 30TH, SO THEY COULD USE THOSE TICKETS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. SO THAT'S ANOTHER AFFILIATION WE HAVE WITH THE PALM SPRINGS POWER. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THEM. OUR SEASON STARTED MARCH 10TH AND WILL END THIS MAY 21ST WHICH WOULD BE WHAT, TOMORROW? YEAH, TOMORROW IS OUR LAST DAY. WE HAD OUR CLOSING CEREMONY LAST SATURDAY WHERE WE DISTRIBUTED PARTICIPATION TROPHIES TO ALL THE TEAMS, AND WE HAD FREE FOOD AND SNACKS PROVIDED TO ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS. SO THAT WAS A BIG OCCASION FOR ALL OF US. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR SEASON THROUGH ALL STARS. WE HAVE SOME ALL STAR TEAMS PARTICIPATING. PONY BASEBALL, SO THEY WILL CONTINUE PRACTICING AND USING THE FIELDS. AS THEY ADVANCE. TOURNAMENTS GO ALL THE WAY TILL JULY, SO AS THEY GET FURTHER, THAT'S YOU KNOW, WE KEEP ON USING THOSE FIELDS AND. OKAY, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TWO OF OUR LEAGUE VOLUNTEERS. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE FIRST OUR SECRETARY JUDITH MANDUJANO, AND SHE WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HERSELF AND HOW SHE CAME ACROSS CBSA AND WHAT SHE'S DOING RIGHT NOW FOR US. I MEAN, I'M SORRY.JUDY. HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY. FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING US HERE. MY NAME, LIKE COACH SAID, IS JUDITH MANDUJANO. I AM A VOLUNTEER AND ALSO A PARENT FOR TWO DAUGHTERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE CBSA LEAGUE. SO THEY ARE PART OF THE SOFTBALL TEAMS. AND A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT I DO IS I KIND OF HELP OUT WITH THE REGISTRATIONS FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL, TRYING TO GET MORE PARENTS ENGAGED IN OUR SOFTBALL, TRYING TO BUILD MORE SOFTBALL TEAMS. AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, WE ONLY HAVE ONE. SO TRYING TO CREATE MORE PARENT ENGAGEMENT FOR THAT. AND THEN AS WELL AS I'M A NEW GRADUATE FROM CSU, CAL STATE, SAN BERNARDINO, AND I'VE TAKEN CLASSES FOR GRANT WRITING. SO HOPEFULLY BE WORKING ON SOME GRANTS, SOME GRANT WRITING FOR CBSA IN THE FUTURE. AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF LIKE WORKING WITH COMPANIES, REACHING OUT TO THEM, SEEING IF THEY COULD PROVIDE FOR US. LIKE COACH JUAN SAID, FOR OUR CLOSING CEREMONY, WE HAD FREE DRINKS, FOOD FOR THE FAMILIES. JUST REACH OUT TO THEM, SEE IF THEY'D LIKE TO DONATE ANYTHING AND BE A PART OF THAT WITH US AND KIND OF GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED. AND FOR NOW, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I DO. BUT IT'S BEEN GREAT VOLUNTEERING FOR THE CBSA, AND I HOPE TO BE BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE STRIVE TO GET GREAT PEOPLE TO WORK WITH US, AND FOR US TO USE THEIR RESOURCES AND NETWORKING SKILLS TO HELP OUR, OUR, OUR YOUTH ORGANIZATION. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER VOLUNTEER, WHICH WOULD BE ANISSA RODRIGUEZ. I KNOW I BROUGHT HER UP HERE BEFORE. SHE IS A SHE'S BEEN WITH CBSA SINCE SINCE THE AGE OF EIGHT AND I FEEL HER AND ANOTHER GENTLEMAN THAT WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND TODAY. THEY ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT SEB IS SAYING. YOUTH SPORTS COULD PRODUCE. SHE STARTED AT THE AGE OF EIGHT, PLAYED THROUGH OUR ORGANIZATION, IS NOW ATTENDING WELLESLEY COLLEGE WHERE SHE PLAYS NCAA SOFTBALL. SHE WILL ALSO BE PARTICIPATING WITH THE PALM SPRINGS POWER AND. A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, WHERE SHE WILL BE DOING SOME STATISTICS AND ANALYTICS THROUGH HER SCHOOL. SO I'D LIKE TO BRING HER UP HERE SO SHE COULD TELL YOU
[00:10:03]
HER PROCESS AND HOW SHE CAME UPON ALL THE. HI, MY NAME IS ANISSA. I'VE BEEN A PART OF SEB SEB FOR ALMOST. I THINK IT'S BEEN 1112 YEARS NOW AND IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE MOST LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES EVER. I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD NOT BE IN THE POSITION THAT I AM IN NOW.WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF THE LEAGUE. I WOULD SPEND NIGHTS WORKING THE SNACK BAR, RACKING UP VOLUNTEER HOURS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY SHOWN ON MY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. IT TAUGHT ME DIFFERENT WAYS TO INTERACT WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE. IT WAS A PLACE OF INCLUSION. AND IT WAS IT WAS HONESTLY MY SECOND HOME. IT WAS GREAT. I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER COLLEGIATE COACHES THROUGH THE LEAGUE, AND WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE LEAGUE, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE PLAYING COLLEGIATE SOFTBALL, WHICH IS A HUGE DREAM OF MINE. AND YEAH, IT JUST FOSTERED A GREAT AREA OF SUPPORT AND EVERYTHING THAT I COULD HAVE EVER GOTTEN OUT OF IT. AND I FEEL THE NEED TO PAY IT FORWARD BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I HOPE TO BE A PART OF IT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS. OKAY, THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO ASK US. I DO, BUT YEAH. OH YOU GUYS SHOULD GO FIRST. YEAH OKAY. FOR ALL STARS, DO YOU HAVE THE DATES ON THOSE? I WOULD LOVE TO GO AND SUPPORT OUR LOCAL ATHLETES, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR UPCOMING ALL STARS. YES. AS A MATTER OF FACT, TONIGHT I WILL BE AS SOON AS I'M DONE. I'M DONE WITH THIS MEETING. WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IN PALM SPRINGS WHERE WE WILL BE GETTING TOGETHER AND ARRANGING ALL THE DATES, ALL THE PARTICIPANTS, AND WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE TEAMS TO PROVIDE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE, LIKE AFFIDAVITS, BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE OUR SECRETARY FORWARDS THAT INFORMATION TO YOU, CHAIRMAN ANDREW, AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND I'LL GET THAT TO YOU. YES.
PERFECT. THANK YOU. AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE ALL STAR TEAMS THAT WILL BE REPRESENTING. YES, INSHALLAH. YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO PRETTY MUCH SUGGEST THE SAME THING. IT'S LIKE WE SHOULD GO OUT THERE AND TAKE A WALK AND CHECK THESE GAMES OUT. NEXT PRESENTATION.
OKAY. DID YOU SEE THAT? SO LIKE I MENTIONED OUR SECOND PRESENTATION IS FOR PROGRAM UPDATES FOR THE COACHELLA LITTLE ERA YOUTH FOOTBALL. AND WE HAVE ADAM. HI EVERYONE. IT'S ACTUALLY MY FIRST MEETING SO I'M KIND OF NERVOUS. SO I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS ADAM RODRIGUEZ. SO YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH MARIO GALLO? HE WAS OUR PRESIDENT. MARIO HAS FOUND A NEW PROGRAM. HE STARTED A NEW PROGRAM HERE IN BERMUDA DUNES. IT'S CURRENTLY NAMED FCA.
SO HE'S GOING TO GO THAT ROUTE. AND I DECIDED TO STAY HERE. SO I'VE BEEN WITH COACHELLA LITTLE ARROWS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. YOU KNOW, I STARTED COACHING THE 11 U. SO NOW WE'RE AT 13 U.
THAT'S MY TEAM. SO NOW YOU KNOW JUST JUST GOING TO BE A NEW ROLE FOR ME AS FAR AS COACHING AND BEING IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE LEAGUE. NOW THIS IS MY 19TH YEAR OF COACHING FOOTBALL. SO THE COACHING PART IS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD A GOOD TEAM. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DIRECTION THE COACHELLA LITTLE ARABS ARE GOING. LIKE I SAID, MY NAME IS ELLEN RODRIGUEZ. YOU KNOW, OUR PROGRAM IS DEDICATED AND PROVIDING TO FROM THE EIGHT KIDS FROM THE AGES OF EIGHT THROUGH 13. WE CURRENTLY HAVE AROUND 130 KIDS REGISTERED. I'M EXPECTING 150. YOU KNOW, ALSO SOMETHING NEW THAT JUST HAPPENED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. INDIO IS NOT HAVING A YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAM AND THEY DECIDED TO JOIN US. SO I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW, TO TAKE ON THAT CHALLENGE. ALSO, AS FAR AS INDIO COMING OVER AND HELPING US OUT TO FORM OUR TEAMS SO WE MIGHT STAY AT 150, WE MIGHT GROW A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY. AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, EQUIPMENT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. WE ALSO HAVE A CHEER PROGRAM THIS YEAR WE'RE
[00:15:05]
GOING TO HAVE A CHEER PROGRAM. CHEER IS ALSO FROM 9 TO 13. WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE AS MANY CHEERLEADERS AS WE HAVE, AS MANY AS WE CAN. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST. BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CHEER AND FOOTBALL THIS YEAR. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT LOOK. BUT YOU KNOW, WITH THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE, I THINK WE'RE WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. CURRENTLY OUR VICE PRESIDENT IS GABRIEL GARCIA. OUR COMMISSIONERS ANTHONY GONZALEZ, OUR CHAPTER AIDE IS VANESSA SILVA. OUR TREASURER IS ROSA. OUR SECRETARY IS JASMINE GONZALEZ. EQUIPMENT MANAGER MARK SILVA, OUR SNACK BAR AND FUNDRAISING COORDINATOR IS KIM CORONADO. AND MYSELF, I'M THE PRESIDENT. SO OUR GAMES START AUGUST 23RD. SO OUR SEASON RUNS FROM AUGUST 23RD. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO JINX ANY OF OUR TEAMS, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE IT TO FLORIDA. SO IF WE MAKE IT A FLORIDA, ONE OF OUR TEAMS MAKES IT TO FLORIDA. WE'RE LOOKING TO PLAY THROUGH DECEMBER. YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY LOOKING AT TWO TEAMS GOING, WHICH I THINK THAT WOULD BE HUGE FOR THE CITY OF COACHELLA AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT THE CITY OF COACHELLA OUT IN FLORIDA WOULD BE PRETTY, PRETTY NICE FOR US. WE'RE NOT THERE YET, BUT THOSE ARE OUR GOALS. THOSE ARE OUR GOALS THIS SEASON. YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS AGO WE WON STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. THIS YEAR WE'RE TRYING TO WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. SO YOU KNOW, SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT WE DID LAST YEAR FOR OUR KIDS. WE WENT OUT AND TRAVELED TO ARIZONA. WE WENT TO ARIZONA GAME, YOU KNOW, ATTENDED THAT, ATTENDED THE FIELD AT HALFTIME. THAT WAS PRETTY NICE. THIS YEAR WE'RE PLANNING TO ATTEND EITHER A SAN DIEGO STATE GAME OR MAYBE A UCLA GAME. LAST YEAR WE DID ONE TEAM. THIS YEAR WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE WHOLE CHAPTER. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE NEW THINGS THAT WE GOT GOING ON. OTHER THAN THAT, I MEAN, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE FOOTBALL. YOU KNOW, I THINK THE HIGH SCHOOL'S BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB. ON SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO FOLLOW THEIR THEIR LEAD. OTHER THAN THAT I THINK. YEAH I MEAN I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE START CONDITIONING JUNE 3RD SO. MORE QUESTIONS GUYS. WELL I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. GO AHEAD OKAY. SO DO YOU KNOW WHEN OPENING DAY IS CEREMONY? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU SAID AUGUST 23RD. AUGUST 23RD WOULD BE OUR FIRST GAME. SO IT'D BE OUR FIRST GAME AND CEREMONY. WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A CEREMONY.WELL YEAH I MEAN THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S AUGUST 23RD WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH CONSIDER OUR OPENING CEREMONY. WE DON'T I IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE HONEST. I'M HOPING TO PLAY IN SAN DIEGO AUGUST 23RD. I DON'T THINK OUR BOYS SHOULD BE PLAYING IN 116 117 DEGREES. AUGUST 23RD. SO IF WE DO END UP PLAYING AT HOME, WE'LL TAKE ON THAT CHALLENGE. BUT WE PLAN TO PLAY HOPEFULLY EITHER IN SAN DIEGO OR MAYBE HERE IN MARIETTA DOWN THAT WAY. I KNOW WE'RE CURRENTLY CHANGE DIVISIONS. ALSO, WE'RE PLAYING IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY LEAGUE, SO THAT'S ALSO NEW FOR US. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FUN FOR THE BOYS, YOU KNOW, TO GO, WE'VE BEEN TRAVELING THIS WAY. WE'RE GOING TO TRAVEL TRAVEL SOUTH NOW. SO YEAH. OTHER THAN THAT I MEAN AUGUST 23RD OR OUR FIRST HOME GAME. OKAY. AND DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SEND THAT SCHEDULE? YEAH, YEAH. AS SOON AS WE SCHEDULES OUT, WE'LL SEND IT OUT. YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN ALSO GOOD LUCK TO YOUR NEW POSITION AND. OH THANK YOU. AND I'M GLAD EVERYTHING IS GROWING FOR YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ROLE AND EXPANDING THAT CHEER PROGRAM. I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD. SO, YEAH, KEEP US INFORMED SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, DROP BY ONE OF YOUR GAMES AND SEE HOW IT'S GOING AND ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM US. I MEAN, YOU GOT THE. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO SAY ALSO THANK YOU. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH JESSICA, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO JESSICA. IS MARISSA. YES. SO I MET WITH HER. AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH JESSICA, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. EVERYTHING'S GOOD. AND HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF FEEL BAD FOR THE CITY OF INDIO NOT HAVING A YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAM, BUT THAT'S ALSO A RIVAL. SO DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO HEAVILY IMPACT YOUR FIELDS? NO, I THINK WE'LL HAVE YOU'RE GOOD BECAUSE IT'S AT THE LOWER LEVEL. SO WE'RE WE'RE CAPPING TEAMS AT 30.
SO WE'RE NOT HAVING TWO TEAMS PER DIVISION. SO IT'S FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. YOU KNOW 30 KIDS IS
[00:20:02]
THE MAX THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON THIS YEAR. SO I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.ANYTHING ELSE GUYS. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS. NONE. NONE. PUBLIC

HELLO AGAIN. COMMISSIONER. I WANTED TO BRING UP A, A SOME INCIDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AT BAGUMA PARK. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M, I'M GOING TO MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT THE SOCCER LEAGUES. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF REGULATION ON HOW MANY TEAMS THEY COULD REGISTER, BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF OVERFLOW INTO OUR BAGUMA PARKS, I MEAN, INTO OUR BASEBALL FIELDS AND SOME OF THE CLEATS AND STUFF. LIKE, I MEAN, THERE ARE SIGNS UP IN THE POLLS, BUT THEY'RE REAL SMALL AND THEY'RE GETTING FADED AWAY. SO IF THEY COULD GET A LITTLE BIT LARGER OR IF WE COULD HAVE MORE PRESENCE OF MAYBE CITY OFFICIALS OR CODE ENFORCEMENT TO BE OUT THERE. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR RENEE FOR AND HIS STAFF FOR GOING OUT THERE WHENEVER WE NEED HIM ALSO. SO I'D LIKE TO GIVE HIM A SHOUT OUT FOR THAT. BUT YEAH, IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF REGULATIONS ON SOCCER, ON HOW MANY TEAMS THEY COULD, THEY COULD REGISTER. BECAUSE WHEN WE SEE SOCCER OUT IN OUR FIELDS, I DO GO UP TO THESE COACHES AND I ASK THEM, SAYS, WHICH LEAGUE ARE YOU FROM? AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LEAGUES THEY HAVE, BUT I GET DIFFERENT NAMES. AND THEN ALSO THEY SAY THERE'S NO THERE'S NO AREA FOR US TO PRACTICE IN OUR FIELDS OUT THERE. IT SAYS, WELL, YOU GUYS ARE, YOU KNOW, IN OUR BASEBALL GAMES RIGHT NOW, KICKING THE BALLS INTO OUR GAMES. AND WE HAVE OUR OWN STUFF GOING ON HERE. PLUS, THEIR CLEATS DAMAGE THE GRASS ALSO. AND SOMETIMES THEY DO PLAY INTO THE DIRT. SO IF THERE WAS I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S REGULATIONS ON THAT, BUT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE THE COMMISSION SHOULD START, YOU KNOW, LOOKING INTO MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A CAP OR SOME SORT OF LIMIT OF WHAT THEY COULD, THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, USE OR, YOU KNOW, HELP OUT IN THEIR FIELDS BECAUSE OVERFLOW IN OUR FIELDS, IT'S GETTING KIND OF CRAMPED OUT THERE TOO. THAT'S THAT'S IT.THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY MORE COMMENTS? NO COMMENTS

IF THEY CANNOT PRACTICE IN THAT BASEBALL FIELD, THEY CAN RESPECT THAT. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO WORK ON THAT TO NOT USE THOSE FACILITIES. BUT I UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES TOO MANY TEAMS. BUT I THINK TO LIMIT THE QUANTITY OF TEAMS IS SOMETHING IS SOCCER[00:30:09]
RESPONSIBILITY. YOU KNOW, LIKE BUT THEY NEED TO RESPECT IT'S NOT I THINK IT'S NOT REGULATION YET, BUT I'M GOING TO CHECK IT OUT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. AND THAT'S IT. YOU KNOW.
