Commission flags bleacher repairs for spring and waives rental fee for Eagle Scout ceremony
Summary
The Brentwood Recreation Commission agreed to inspect and replace a handful of worn bleacher boards before spring sports and approved waiving rental fees for a local Boy Scout's Eagle Scout ceremony in recognition of his service.
The commission set aside a small facilities item for spring: staff reported that several wooden boards on the recreation-park bleachers are showing wear and will likely need replacement before the spring sports season. Recreation staff said the boards are not an immediate safety risk for the final weeks of fall sports but asked for volunteer help from commissioners to carry out a spring repair. Commissioners discussed material options (pressure-treated wood vs. composite) and potential expansion/contraction issues with composite boards; no formal appropriation was requested at this meeting.
Separately, commissioners voted to waive the rental fee for a Boy Scout Eagle Court of Honor for a scout who completed an Eagle project (the scout family had coordinated the event with the department and expected the fee to be waived). The recreation director said he would still collect the required deposit and insurance application but would waive the rental fee in recognition of the scout's contribution.
Why it matters: the bleachers and smaller facility repairs are recurring maintenance items that affect program delivery in spring. Waiving the one-time rental fee recognizes volunteer service to the department while preserving the commission’s standard deposit/insurance requirements.
Next steps: Staff will plan the spring bleacher work (board replacement and materials selection) and notify the scout’s family of the waived rental fee; the deposit and insurance requirements remain.
