Also present was City Manager Saunders, Public Service Director Davis, Mark Mountain of the South Lake Press and South Lake Soccer Club representatives Harry Schwab, Richard Bassilion and Carlos Solis. South Lake Soccer Club Mayor Pool welcomed the Soccer Club representatives and turned the meeting over to them regarding the soccer field at Palatlakaha Recreation Area. One of the major concerns of the Soccer Club was the need for netting on the west end of the field to prevent soccer balls from being kicked into the storm water retention area. The fees for the field were also discussed and how they could better be administered. After discussion it was the consensus to place the netting issue on a Council agenda for a decision. The Soccer Club representatives left the meeting at approximately 7:10 p.m. Alternate Fuel Grant Application Public Service Director Davis and City Manager Saunders discussed with the Council the Alternate Fuel grant proposal. Mr. Davis explained that it was his understanding that Lake Apopka Natural Gas had decided not to make application for a grant at this time which would require the City to be responsible for the matching funds of approximately $100,000 if we are proposing to build a fueling station along with conversions. After discussion it was the consensus not to make application at this time.
