Consideration of Approval for Leesburg to Host the Annual All Stars Soccer Tournament at our Fields at the Rolling Acre Sports Complex on December 9th and 10th and to Waive the Rental Fee in Order to Credit That Amount to Our Teams Participating in the Tournament.
Summary
In summary, a few years ago, Lady Lake, Eustis, Fruitland Park and Leesburg began an All-Star Soccer Tournament. It was decided that each municipality would take turns having the tournament at the various fields. Our Soccer Association will be working with the other organizations in the tournament and assist in lining the fields and our Soccer Association will run the concession stand and collect all of the proceeds. Leesburg will be paying the refs and coordinating the tournament. I predict that the field rental fees will be around $700.00. It is determined that the total cost of the entries from our league will be $1,100.00. We are asking to deduct the $700.00 in exchange for cheaper entry fees and Town Sponsorship on the propaganda which our Soccer Association and Leesburg have agreed to. Town staff is not needed for this event.
Fiscal Impact
Forego revenue in exchange for entry fees.
