Summary:
Title
This is a Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) Special Projects Fiscal Year 2022 Funding Request for CSA PHP&R; a non-profit organization under the auspice of the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency Inc. CSA PHP&R provides recreational and community leisure services to the residents of unincorporated area of Palm Harbor. This funding will support the construction of concrete block storage bins which will enable them to safely store bulk clay and soil material. This bulk material is needed to repair and restore the Little League baseball and co-ed softball fields at Putnam Park and the Sunderman Complex. Currently, the clay and dirt for field repairs sits at two separate areas taking up valuable parking spots for the users of the recreation facilities. The area is not well contained. As a result, there is a considerable amount of dirt and clay that is lost to washout and weed growth. This loss of material causes additional expenditure due to the “shrink” factor of the inefficient containment.
This project will deliver a better parking experience for our customers which will enhance their experience at our fields. It will also save dirt and clay which aligns with environmental stewardship.
