One <br /> recommendation of the meeting was the possible creation of a joint clearinghouse for <br /> youth sports. This would enable the groups to consolidate into one office for providing <br /> information to the public regarding their specific sports. The provision of such an office <br /> would require a fee to be collected ftom each cotnmunity to pay for its operation and for <br /> staff to take calls and administer the central office. Also discussed was a possible future <br /> community play field on the school property. <br /> White, who was not in attendance at the aforementioned meeting and who has been <br /> involved in soccer organization for many years, said he did not believe the position would <br /> require a full-time person and scheduling could be accomplished in a relatively short time <br /> period by use of a computer. Wilson said the soccer organization was represented at the <br /> meeting also and noted that field coordination would also be part of the position. There <br /> was no agreements reached at the meeting but discussion only. Wilson commented that <br /> the central oH"rce would enable new people within the district to easily inquire about the <br /> many sports organizations. <br /> 1 <br />
