Double Dipping - Enough is enough and people need jobs.
It's time for our county employees/commissioners to make a decision. Either stay employed at your current rate and
end your retirement benefits or resign your position. We can't afford to pay you twice when others are
losing their jobs. We also need some visionary commissioners. Westley Chapel was suppose to be the Gateway to Pasco. Not even close. So I'd guess the next thing is to follow our presidential leader and just spend more money out there.
What could possibily be wrong with bringing a multi-sports complex to Hudson, with minimun cost to the county. We tried to get the county to at least consider our plan for the additional land adjacent to Engle Park. We were not asking for any money but the permission to begin moving dirt and coming up with a plan. We agreed to an RFP to go out. But the county with all it's wisdom were to busy to consider it. I"m tired of the county letting residential developers get whatever they want in Hudson area but when a good project comes along, nothing.

Pasco County Receives Results from SportsPlex
December 1, 2009 SportsPlex came to the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners with a proposal that was just shy of being worthless, except we spent $250.000 to get the spiral bound booklet. Although they picked a site that would work immediately for their restraunt, Trinity, it wouldn't necessarily brings "Beds N Heads" to Pasco. Surprisingly there were several other spots that seemed much better to the public as well as many commmissioners.
Only 1 commissioner really wanted to jump right in, Micheal Cox.
I find it hard to believe; one of the people we place in charge would spend 11 million dollars, that has been collecting for 18 years, in the blink of an eye.
Many of SportsPlex facts were in error and they could not provide back up data when asked specific questions. Not someone I would want to be watching my money.
The issue has been postponed until January 26, 2010 to give the Pasco County Tourist Development Council a chance to review it as well as the public.

Pasco County Embarks on Phase 1 of Sportsplex project
Previsouly - Pasco County has entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Sportsplex USA in order to develop a new multipurpose sports complex.
The $270,000 agreement will be funded by the County’s tourist tax, and it establishes a private-public partnership in order to design and construct a facility that will become a sports tourist destination for the County.
The agreement will be staged in four separate phases. Phase 1 is for market analysis and site configuration. The proposed site for the multipurpose sports complex has not been designated by the County or Sportsplex USA. In order to determine the best location.
About Sportsplex USA: Sportsplex USA Consulting was established to provide government agencies and private organizations with an informative resource for the design, development, operation, and maintenance of sports parks. The industry's tremendous growth has created a need for experienced professionals to aid in the development of high quality, well-designed, and cost-effective sports parks.
This sure seems like a lot of money being thrown out the window. The county couldn't find a local firm
to create some designs from sports complexes already built and keep the money in the community. Write your commissioner: commissioners@pascocountyfl.net
Sunwest Mine & Sunwest Harbourtown are on most peoples minds in Hudson and perhaps Pasco. Information, visit: Sunwest Pasco
Pasco is considering bringing in a corporation to create a Metro Sports Complex in Pasco. Do we really want another large corporation
designing and running a major business in our county? I say NO. We can create the complex ourselves and bring all the profits back into
out community. Yes, the major corp is going to give the county a small percentage (7%) but what about the other 93% that we could use
in our county. They will pass that back to their home state of CA, I believe that is where they are located. It's not Pasco!
Right now the Hudson Sports Complex is in it's beginning stages. The next meeting is not set as of Aug 10, 2009 but will be set in the next
3 days.
