and out but no one reported it to our security guards. Our janitorial found it the next morning. There were a ton of people going in and out the whole night so there's no way to prove anything.
Mr. Horton asked does it take a card to get in during the day?
Mr. Soriano responded during the day but this was done at a time that it was unlocked because of soccer practice and right now we don't have official practice but there are a lot of Florida Elite teams that are still out there practicing and they haven't given me a shut down time.
Mr. Davis asked is there something you think we should do differently where that's concerned?
Mr. Soriano responded I get on the sports organizations all the time and I have that problem every year with softball not informing me of practice times. The travel teams are all over the place. I don't want to block anybody out and kids having accidents because we know residents don't bring their cards all the time. It would help if we had good coordination  with  the sports programs. Soccer and I-9 are supposed to be helping out with keeping an eye on that field house. There are teams there but they are so far away.
Mr. Horton asked what's the estimated cost to repair it?
Mr. Soriano responded it wasn't real expensive. They ripped the dividers for the bathroom stalls out of the wall so it's concreate anchors and time to put them up. The biggest issue is we haven't that kind of vandalism in a while other than some kids tagging, spray painting or putting sharpie on the wall. It's been pretty good out of both districts.
Mr. Davis asked and then the basketball vandalism with the fencing?
Mr. Soriano responded that's been going on for a few months.  They're  bending  the faux iron fence to slide in and we've fixed it multiple times but it's just aluminum  fencing so it's easy to pull.
Mr. Davis asked what if you put a black cross bar?
lvlr. Soriano responded that's what we're going to go. We're going to have to tack weld something on to it. We've actually had to tresspass more kids on your courts in the last six months since I brought the last big issue to you guys than in the last two years. We've gotten to the point where the security guards will stop the game and get on to the residents that are there that when they see it, they need to tell them and take ownership of it too. That's helped out a

bit but it doesn't control everything. What we did over here years ago, but it's a big cost, is we stationed a guard that sits at the basketball court. It's kind of wasted because they're just stuck there watching kids play basketball. I'd hate to get to that point.
Mr. Horton asked what about cameras? They don't catch that section?
Mr. Soriano responded I can catch them but it's not a monitor thing and I can't do anything after the fact. I can watch them sneak in and sneak out but I don't know who they are. What I've gone to doing with the staff that's there is when they catch it, they don't go out and warn these kids, the first thing they're going to do is call the Clay County Sheriffs Office. We have an off-duty officer and he can go over there . If he thinks it's a misunderstanding or will give a kid a warning, I leave that to the officer but there have been times over the years where one officer gives them a warning and then the next officer gives a warning and  then they end up getting 20 warnings because we have 26 different officers out there.
Mr. Horton asked are these resident's kids?
Mr. Soriano responded many are, they just don't get a card. Mom and Dad don't care to come down and do the paperwork. We've actually talked to the parents before and they don't care about the kids getting in trouble either. It's  not something  that's costing a  lot of money, it's causing more of a headache than anything.
Mr. Horton asked is it during the day or at night?
Mr. Soriano responded night time. Although we did have a few during the day while we were closed down for Christmas. Our officers were nice and let them go. They asked them how they got in and they said they walked through the front door  but the whole place is locked  up so they know they either climbed over, through or shimmied up.
Mr. Davis stated and in either case, you're damaging property  and  you're  costing money for repairs. If you're climbing over you're probably going to  bend  something  and you're definitely pulling the rails apart. That's all maintenance, it's all money and  it's frustrating.
Mr. Thomas asked how wide is the fence they're coming through? ls it worth putting a higher more sturdy fence there? Eventually if they keep doing it it's going to come apart and then somebody is going to go through it and get cut.
Mr. Soriano responded since it's the faux iron I'm going to have to do something a little more decorative so it's not so ugly.

Mr. Davis stated if you go black aluminum rail right across the middle they ' re not going to be able to pull that apart. They' re pulling it apart because it' s a five-foot span.
l\'1r. Thomas stated either that or you put a camera there because eventually they're going to break it.
Mr. Soriano stated we will take a look at it and try to find some solutions.
