Reports that there is a shortage of qualified workers and budget constraints reduce the number of needed sports fields. Explains the "need to continue to educate and certify the sports turf managers to a higher professional standard." Describes services performed, field activity, and top athletic turn challenges. Also includes the distribution of budget dollars. Emphasizes the growing number of athletes and sports fields. |
