They stressed that there's a lot of work to be done and they are eager to get it done.
Issues discussed included, but were not limited to, improved lighting at sports field where needed, placing removable multi purpose goal posts in various districts, building various secured storage facilities at Melford Hazel and at other facilities, the security cameras that are currently being installed, securing the L.B. Scot Sports Auditorium as well as long term major sports projects.
The Commissioner thanked the board for the work they have done thus far and urged them not to become complacent since their task is not a small one. She explained that although financial resources from government might not come as fast as all would like, sports and St. Maarten's sporting facilities are still one of her top priorities.
