Board gives conceptual approval to developer-led athletic fields next to Barns Butte Elementary
Summary
Board members gave conceptual approval for a community developer to design and donate two baseball fields, a multipurpose field, and a gravel parking area on district-owned land adjacent to Barns Butte Elementary; staff will work with the developer to resolve details and return with updates or formal agreements if needed.
Board members conceptually approved staff continuing to work with a community developer who proposed converting district-owned acreage beside Barns Butte Elementary into athletic fields and parking at no net cost to the district.
District staff described a proposal that would add two baseball diamonds, a field suitable for flag football or soccer, and a gravel parking area on district property; staff noted the site already has a water connection and that the district currently spends money maintaining weeds on the parcel. The district will help with labor and will negotiate any formal arrangement; staff compared the concept to a prior community-built baseball field project.
The board voted to proceed with conceptual development; staff said they will involve the community developer (identified in the meeting as Mason) in future planning and will return with details and any required agreements.
