District advances stadium, track and capital‑improvement proposals; asks board to reserve $500,000 for 2025–26
Summary
Facilities staff reviewed progress on the synthetic field and running track, presented quotes for sealcoating and temporary track protection, and asked the board to allocate a $500,000 capital target for upcoming projects and planning.
Facilities staff briefed the board on the district’s stadium and capital improvement work and asked the board to confirm a $500,000 target for next year’s capital program so staff can begin scheduling and contracting.
“The running track is scheduled for October…as soon as our last home game is done, it’ll be in that week,” a facilities manager said, reporting that field finishing work and scheduled track surfacing will close the stadium for a short period. Staff said the turf vendor confirmed an eight‑year warranty.
Quotes and bids: Facilities presented two sealcoat quotes for asphalt areas — Freedom Asphalt at $3,784 and Lehi (vendor name in file) at $3,400 — and suggested deferring non‑urgent sealcoat work until next summer to avoid weather‑related delays. Staff also requested $3,826 to purchase temporary track‑protection panels (three units, 12x50) to place on the track during events where heavy equipment or seating would traverse the surface; the board moved that item to the Thursday agenda for formal action.
Sponsorships and revenue: The board discussed partnering with PowerAd, which has raised funds for stadium items and could market signage and advertising inventory. Facilities suggested holding off on some purchases (banners, pole flags) until PowerAd can pursue larger sponsorships; staff noted a prior scoreboard sponsorship contract and said larger naming rights or multi‑year packages would be subject to district sponsorship policy.
Capital improvement plan: The facilities director presented a multi‑year capital plan informed by Crabtree and Lorbaugh facility assessments. The proposed planning and project list totals more than the $500,000 target if all items are executed, but staff asked the board to approve the $500,000 planning target so staff can initiate contractor outreach and scheduling. “We keep deferring these things. We keep pushing them down the road. The price doesn't go down. It goes up,” a facilities representative said.
Ending: The board gave staff preliminary agreement to pursue the projects and moved agenda items involving purchases and the $3,826 track‑cover request to Thursday for formal approval; staff will return with contract documents, timing details and any negotiated sponsorship revenue offers.
