Summary
District construction staff reported demolition progress at Treasure Mountain, environmental sampling of peat/soil, and near‑completion of turf work on the softball field with continued plumbing, utilities and dugout/pressbox foundation work.
District facilities staff provided an on‑the‑record construction update for the Treasure Mountain site and accompanying athletic fields.
A district project lead described demolition progress and salvage operations, saying crews were roughly 90 percent through demolition and would finish the building removal soon, then sort and recycle salvageable materials. Environmental sampling of peat was underway to establish whether contaminant classification would be required; preliminary results did not indicate contamination but lab confirmation and DEQ reporting were pending.
On the athletic fields, the speaker said turf installation on the softball fields was about 90 percent complete and that the contractor was seaming logos and lines. Concrete work for dugout footings and the baseball backstop tied into the dugout foundations is scheduled, and field lights and poles were being installed. Utilities work (sewer tie‑ins, water tie‑ins for restrooms and concessions) has started and landscaping work around the perimeter has begun.
The project lead noted weather and logistics could shift sequencing; for example, the support building near the tennis courts will wait because of traffic and haul‑truck routing. The district is sampling and classifying soils before winter to avoid leaving material exposed through the season.
No formal board action was taken; the presentation served to update trustees on schedule, environmental sampling and next construction steps.
