OA fc, <br /> Commissioner Brown asked for a chart with the participants of soccer in Orange County <br /> showing gender, age groups, etc. She feels it would be good to track the accomplishments of the <br /> park bond three years ago. <br /> Commissioner Gordon commended the task force for their work. It is a very exciting <br /> possibility. She feels as reports come forward that there will be a parks and recreation component. <br /> She would like for this to go to the Intergovernmental Parks Work Group and the short-term bond <br /> task force. She feels the soccer needs should be dealt with in the short and long term. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs feels that this might be a possible goal for the Commissioners <br /> because it has social and economic ramifications that go beyond recreation. <br /> The Intergovernmental Parks Work Group will address the soccer needs in the County in <br /> November. John Link suggested that it be emphasized to the other jurisdictions that it is an item that <br /> will be addressed at the initial meeting. The staff will also come back to the Board with some <br /> recommendations by the goal-setting retreat in December. <br /> 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> a.
