CORPUS CHRISTI , TEXAS 78469-9277
ATTENTION: MR. J. O. LOPEZ
SUBJECT: PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR LETTER DATED JULY 24 , 1991, (COPY ATTACHED)
THE FOLLOWING ARE COMMENTS TO YOU AND THE ADVISORY BOARD' S
CONCERNS:
FIRST THOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT I ANSWER THE
CONCERNS IN PERSON TO THE ADVISORY BOARD AT THIER NEXT SCHEDULED
MEETING.
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION:
YOU HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC AS TO WHEN, WHERE, AND BY WHO ARE
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THIS CONSUMPTION. AS FOR CONSUMPTION OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, THE CITY ALSO HAS A PROBLEM. JUST LOOK AT THE
OUTFIELD AND ACROSS THE STREET AFTER YOUR CITY SPONSORED TEAMS
HAVE HAD GAMES AT PRICE & RYAN FIELDS.
SOUTHSIDE GIRLS FAST PITCH LEAGUE:
NO, THEY ARE NOT PART OF SOUTHSIDE YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX.
WHAT I SUGGEST TO YOU AND THE PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY
BOARD MEMBERS IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN, THAT YOU ADVISE THEM
TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. IT IS VERY EASY TO ACCUSE AND THEN LET
SOMEONE ELSE DO THE DIRTY WORK WITHOUT HAVING ANY FACTS TO BACK UP
THE ACCUSATIONS.
IF LAWS ARE BEING BROKEN, IT IS UP TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. WE AT SOUTHSIDE HAVE BY-LAWS THAT PROHIBIT
DRINKING DURING GAMES. IF SOMEONE SEES THIS BROKEN, THEY NEED TO
CALL THE POLICE AND POINT THE OFFENDER WHEN THE POLICE SHOW UP.
MR. LOPEZ LET ME KNOW WHEN ?ND WHERE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING
IS AND THE GIRLS BOARD MEMBERS AND MYSELF WILL BE THERE.
RESPECTFU LYYOURS,

Mr. Lucio,
During the July meeting of the Park and Recreation Advisory
Board, concerns were expressed that need your attention.
Specifically, a board member had received complaint(s) about the
consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Southside Youth Sports
Complex. A copy of the City ordinance is attached.
Also, it was stated that information had been received indicating
the Girls Fastpitch Program was again under the umbrella of the
Southside Sports Complex. You may recall that the Advisory Board
allocated Youth Sports Assistance Grant funds to the Gulf Coast
Southside Girls Fastpitch based on their autonomy.
In order to provide information on the above stated concerns to
the Advisory Board at the August 14th, board meeting, please
provide you written response to this office no later than July 8,
