Board hears updates on athletic projects; tennis courts reimbursed $120,000
Summary
Board members and public commented on athletic facilities. Superintendent said the tennis-court project cost $300,000 and the National Tennis Association will reimburse $30,000 per court for four courts ($120,000); the superintendent promised a facilities update at the Aug. 12 meeting after a public concern about mold and leaking storage.
Board members and members of the public on July 22 discussed athletic facilities and recent capital work.
A resident, Mister Matthews, asked for an update about the track and reported a leaking building where stored equipment has developed mold. Superintendent replied that the district finalized a direction and will provide an update at the Aug. 12 work session and regular meeting.
A board member urged residents to attend work sessions for longer, more detailed updates on stadium projects and other athletic work. Superintendent highlighted recent tennis-court work, saying the project cost $300,000 and that "we're receiving $30,000 back for each of 4 courts. So $120,000 reimbursable to the district." That reimbursement was described as coming from the National Tennis Association in the transcript.
Public comment also included an introduction from Jim Creeden, who identified himself as the senior vice president of The Efficiency Network and said his firm is a competitor for a Visa contract that the board previously tabled; he said he would continue to attend deliberations.
Superintendent said a fuller update on the football stadium, soccer fields and related athletic projects is discussed in the district's work sessions and invited attendees to join those sessions for more complete information. The superintendent promised the next update at the Aug. 12 meeting.
The discussion ended without additional formal action on facilities; the board scheduled Aug. 12 for further details and adjourned the meeting.
