[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what is going on between MCPS and the City of Rockville?  The fields are ready, however, MSI is not allowed to use them.  A note from the MSI director to coaches:

[quote]If you are receiving this email, it is because there has been a change to your schedule for this coming weekend, September 28/29. Please go to the MSI website to view your updated schedule (posted just this afternoon).
 
Construction of MSI's 4 new fields at Julius West MS has been completed now for a couple of weeks, but City of Rockville continues to withhold permission for use of the fields, due to an ongoing disagreement with MCPS.  Julius West MS students are enjoying all the benefits of these new playing surfaces, but unfortunately the players and families of MSI are "collateral damage".  There is a meeting scheduled tomorrow between those two entities, after which we will know whether we need to reschedule the entire rest of the season's games that currently are scheduled at Julius West MS (which may or may not involve your teams).  This effort will bring the number of rescheduled games to approximately 500 games that could not be played on the new fields this season, while the fields sit ready for kids to enjoy them, an administrative effort that has been as difficult on MSI staff and referees as it has been inconvenient for MSI families.  We apologize for all this, and hope our public leaders will come to a resolution, soon.
 
Thanks for your understanding.[/quote]
Thank you, MSI.  Your donation is well appreciated.  However, MCPS is covering the maintenance cost which is not cheap. 
Anyone care to share any insight?[/quote][/quote]

Annual maitenance of the two Julius West Middle School artificial turf soccer fields installed for MSI Soccer will cost the MCPS Operating Budget $20,000 per year.  MSI Soccer is not paying for maintenance, clean up, repairs or removal when the fields are used up in 7 years. [/quote]

MSI is the most corrupt of all.  They should be ashamed of themselves trying to act like this is out of their hands[/quote]
