“And if I might, that's exactly what occurred as we negotiated for the development of Homestead Regional Park. Have you dealt with AYSO? Have you dealt with Rodeo? And any number of other, Keys Gate School, whatever little league and other leagues played at the park, I kind of would envision this negotiation process as to have that piece that can assure us that all of those interested parties have been accommodated as they were with the regional park development.”

So now, potentially, that payment may not be made to Homestead or the school board police. It may be made to the sports hub organization to provide it, or some combination. We're not adding a new level of payment for security.”
