[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in the other thread are a bunch of lying and selfish people!!

Annual Grass Maintenance Costs are approximately $60/year if not more. Also, MCPS is able to rent out the turf field for a higher fee compared to grass fields. MSI basically paid 10 years worth of exclusive turf field rental by paying for the field construction. Note: Julius West has priority use of the field over MSI. When you rent a field or facility, you don’t pay for the maintenance of it. It’s part of the fee you pay to rent the field.

I assume you meant $60,000 ($60K) per year. That about right. [/quote]

Wrong. It's a middle school, not a high school football field.  Julius West doesn't have a $60,000 field budget.

[b]There aren't any renters of artificial turf field[/b]s. That hasn't happened.  No income from these fields comes in.  [/quote]

So you’re tell g me that Potomac Soccer and Bethesda Soccer have been using WJ, RM, Wootton and other HS turf fields for free all of these year?[/quote]

[b]Remember they prepaid[/b].  You know that. So stop lying.  The issue is that the fields were supposed to bring in additional rental income to pay for the replacement of the fields 
when they failed. That didn't happen.  Replacement is hundreds of thousands or a million dolllars and the rental fees brought in only $40,000.  Do the math.

Replacement of the WJ, RM, Wootton and all other artificial turf fields now has to come out of the MCPS Operating Budget because the rental income never materialized.  At one time, Joshua Starr used profit from field trips to pay for artificial turf. 
Using the MCPS Operating Budget money means taking away from funds that could be going
to pay for teacher salaries.  [/quote]

Hey, you just contradicted yourself there. Rental fees, whether is prepaid or not is still rental fee. [/quote]

haha  You are so bad at math. Where did you go to school?

Artificial turf fields cost money to be installed.

Then, the rental fees were to pay for maintenance, removal and replacement.

MSI is only paying to install the fields. They are not paying for maintenance, removal and replacement.  The fields are not being rented so the rental fee doesn't matter, there is no demand for these fields. No rental fees means the money for maintenance, removal and replacement comes from the MCPS Operating Budget.[/quote]
