NEW BUSINESS — (Moved before Old Business Item A)
A. Burlingame Soccer Club - 2nd Subletting Violation
Supervisor Barry reported the discovery of a Star Academy team practicing on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at Murray Field during time allotted to the Burlingame Soccer Club. Staff investigated
the issue and spoke with BSC members and it was confirmed the Star Academy was on the field.
Staff was unable to determine, however, if the BSC board was aware of this.
Lawrence Viola, president of the Burlingame Soccer Club, stated city staff informed him that Star
Academy was on the field during a BSC allotted time. He contacted the violator immediately to
cease the practice and upon receipt of a second communication from city staff regarding the
continuing violation, he contacted the violator to cease and desist immediately. He stated the club
will no longer be associating in any way with Star Academy for various reasons.
After discussion by Commission, including notice to the Club for each violation, BSC scheduling
software, amendments to BSC Bylaws and the intent of the club, Commission made the following
motion.
Motion by Lewis (seconded by Milne): Commission moves to find that no violation has been
committed by the club. MOTION FAILED 3-3-0 (Schissler absent)
Motion by Baird (seconded by Baum): Commission moved to defer the determination of
subletting to the July 2016 meeting to allow time for additional information to be provided by
BSC. MOTION PASSED 6-0-1 (Schissler absent)
