Mr. Thomas responded that the owners in the Harbor Bay Business Park have special assessments on their property taxes for the maintenance of the business park and HBIA is going to try and convince the business owners to include the maintenance of the Sports Complex and facilities in their assessment district. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked if HBIA has secured any agreements so far and if the property owners do not agree what are the other alternatives. Mr. Thomas stated that HBIA has not secured any agreements with the business owners and the other alternatives have not been discussed.
