District reports turf field complete; accessible viewing plaza, scoreboard and grant noted
Summary
Staff reported the artificial turf is installed, a handicap‑accessible viewing plaza and scoreboard are next, and a grant of about $500,000 was mentioned; site plans will be shared with the committee and lower fields will be used as practice only.
District staff told the committee the new artificial turf field is complete and that the next construction steps include a handicap‑accessible viewing plaza, an updated scoreboard, and a sound system.
Staff explained the plaza will be flat to permit handicap parking and accessible viewing; schematic designs and site plans exist and will be circulated to the committee at a future meeting so members can see what the finished area will look like. A staff speaker said a grant administered through a congressional office helped fund the work and referenced an amount of "500,000." Committee members asked whether the cemetery adjacent to the site would be affected; staff said it would not be.
On use of other fields, staff said the lower/back field will be practice only and not set up for spectator viewing, addressing previous concerns about accessible routes for handicapped attendees. Committee members requested the site plan be shown at the next update so remaining questions about parking and viewing lines can be addressed.
