Pat stated that PCJSL had donated $5000 to Townsend (2 fields) and $70,000 to Golf Links (5 fields) but there is approximately $13,000 left in the Golf Links Fund. There is $50,000 in the field fund. There are 3 upcoming projects; Udall, Rillito and Silverlake. PCJSL would need to have preference in the IGA. Lisa is to ask the city for the budget and exact costs. Curt will assist Lisa.

B. State Cup Fields: Steve Jackson asked why State Cup is being played at Udall. Pat states she consulted with Cheryl and Curt and the State required 3 lit fields. The choices were Golf Links, Ochoa and Udall so Udall was chosen. Rillito not available. Steve stated that some coaches would prefer to drive to Phoenix instead of playing on bad fields. Meron read a statement from Jon Pearlman, Coaching Director of TVSC, regarding the choice of Udall. There was discussion on how to improve fields. The City will overseed in the middle of October but we must stay off the fields for 6 weeks. pat asked if we are willing to do this. Rich, Cheryl and Curt will talk to the city about PCJSL paying for extra water and fertilizer at Udall. This would require TVSC and Sabino Vista to stay off the field. Curt would like to consider closing the fields to allow recovery. Pat plans to have a weekend board meeting to discuss further.

C. WPSL: The Utah team is moving to California so the paperwork deadline is pushed back

therefore, Chris not at the meeting to discuss funding for Southern AZ team.
