North Miami Beach Little League runs an excellent program, and they <br /> need more space because they have more children. We are proposing to let them use our <br /> fields at no cost, and they provide a baseball program for our community. <br /> Public Speakers: Mark Greenspan; Andre Cordova <br /> Coach Mark Greenspan and Coach Andre Cordova along with Little League Team Members <br /> presented the Commission with a Plaque in appreciation of the City's support. Coach Mark <br /> Greenspan said that Little League is 100% voluntary, including our coaches, staff, and <br /> umpires, and we couldn't do this without the support of the City. Additionally, we used to <br /> put all the Sunny Isles Beach kids on one team but the kids are too good and now we have <br /> two Sunny Isles Beach teams as well as other SIB kids spread amongst the other teams in <br /> order to have fairness in the teams. We will give the teams that are predominately Sunny <br /> Isles Beach residents, priority over the practice schedules on those fields. Coach Cordova <br /> said they are very proud of the group that are in the picture on the plaque because they came <br /> to him with no baseball experience, and they ended up working hard and were runner-up in <br /> the Championships the first year! <br /> Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the <br /> resolution. Resolution No. 2015-2372 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> 10J.
