SOCCER GOAL NETTING AND SUPPORT POLES
FOR AVIARA COMMUNITY PARK
INFO
\X\ ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive Donation and recommend acceptance by City Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Mr. Michael Stewart, President of the La Costa Regional Chapter of the American Youth Soccer
Organization (AYSO) has generously donated four brand new soccer goal nets, net support
poles and all of the associated mounting hardware for installation and use at Aviara Community
Park. AYSO frequently uses the fields at Aviara, and Mr. Stewart noticed that the existing nets
were not only aging, but they were sagging too, making it difficult to fully and completely use the
goals.
Mr. Stewart approached City staff and kindly offered to donate the nets and net support poles,
and Recreation staff later installed them. Not only will AYSO benefit, but a multitude of other
resident and nonresident youth and adult sport leagues that use the synthetic turf fields will
benefit as well.
The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Michael
Stewart and the La Costa Regional Chapter of AYSO. The new nets and net support poles will
contribute greatly to the public's overall enjoyment of the fields.
A timely letter of appreciation was sent to Mr. Stewart and AYSO.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase and donation of the new nets and net support poles represents a savings of
approximately $1,800 to the City's general fund.
EXHIBITS:
1. Photos of goals with new nets and net support poles installed.
