Summary:Summary
The Lealman Sports Complex is a Pinellas County property which houses middle and high school PAL programs. Through an agreement with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, PAL can operate on the property. This facility consists of several different buildings and outdoor recreation areas. PAL’s elementary school location is in the clubhouse of the Landing at Cross Bayou Apartment Complex. This facility has an indoor program area which includes a computer lab, and an outdoor playground/court for recreational activities.
A challenge PAL faces at both locations is a need for a surveillance camera system. PAL has had a system in the past, but it is no longer functioning, and the organization needs funding for its replacement. A new surveillance system would serve two purposes: (1) alert staff to people entering our properties, and (2) allow authorized staff to monitor participants at various locations on property.Body
Background Information:
The MSTU Special Projects Funding opportunity was created by the Board of County Commissioners for the purpose of supporting projects that enhance community and neighborhood opportunities in unincorporated areas of Pinellas County. These MSTU Special Projects Awards are intended to support culture, recreation, and community engagement opportunities for residents in unincorporated areas that are comparable to those opportunities which municipalities typically provide to their residents.
Fiscal Impact:
This request for funding in the amount of $11,507.00 is a one-time expenditure of budgeted MSTU Special Projects funds. Funding is included in the General Government MSTU cost center within the General Fund and is consistent with amounts provided during FY22 budget development.
