District describes turf practice-field project on former highway property
Summary
Officials said an AstroTurf company is preparing a practice facility on former highway department land, including sprinkler installation and a plan for 14 feet of sod on the north side, with hydroseeding for remaining areas.
District staff described plans to build a turf practice field on former highway department property to serve the football team and other activities.
Staff said an AstroTurf company will perform the turf installation and related site preparation. The site — described as the old highway department property near Jack’s Creek — already has a sprinkler system installed, staff said, and district personnel are working with contractors to build a crowned surface for proper drainage.
Meeting remarks included a detail about the north side of the field: staff said the agreement covers roughly 14 feet of sod on the north side to stabilize the area closest to the multipurpose surface, and that the remainder will be hydroseeded. A staff member said the dirt currently visible on Jack’s Creek will be incorporated into the new turf work. The presenter said the practice season’s official practice date is in early July, so the district is coordinating installation work to be ready before team practices begin.
Staff said they have been in active conversations with a contact named Travis Jones and that the district signed an agreement related to the work. No funding source, contract number or procurement vote was discussed in the recorded remarks.
