<br />he suggested that the Board ask staff to come back with a timetable for developing the West <br />Ten Soccer Complex and a cost breakdown of the different elements. Also, he would like a <br />specific timetable for the fields at Southern Park and Twin Creeks so that there is a complete <br />picture. He also suggested that staff meet with soccer representatives about how to partner <br />with the County. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that this is suitable, but it also falls under item 9-e. She <br />would also like the staff to research several additional things, including the economic viability of <br />the West Ten Soccer Center and the funding now available for all of the public soccer facilities <br />planned in the county. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he is suggesting directing staff to do those things. <br />Commissioner Nelson said that he would like to sit in on these meetings and Commissioner <br />Gordon said that she would like to sit in too. Commissioner Jacobs suggested having this at a <br />work session. <br />Laura Blackmon said that the staff would try and develop the timeline with the cost <br />estimates and provide it back to the Board. She does not think that this can be done by the <br />work session in March. <br />4. County Manager's Report <br />Laura Blackman said that there were some issues related to the sprinkler system at the <br />Durham Tech building. The sustainable issues have been worked out. She said that there was <br />some disconnect between requirements of Hillsborough and its review. There were some <br />perceived requirements of water pressure and water flow. She thinks that the Durham Tech <br />officials, in meeting with the Hillsborough officials, are going to be able to work out the <br />requirement. It was going to be an additional $400,000 for the sprinkler system and a little over <br />$100,000 for the pump. <br />5.
