Parent urges board to address damaged baseball batting cage used by Riverview teams
Summary
A parent told the Riverview School District board the community-owned batting cage used by the baseball team was damaged in storms last March and urged repair; the board secretary said she has contacted the insurance company and is pursuing options with the borough.
During the second hearing of the citizens at the Dec. 8 meeting, parent Paula Tomlinson told the board about storm damage last March to a baseball batting cage on borough property that the high-school team uses and asked the board to keep repairs on its radar.
Tomlinson said the batting cage was donated years ago and sits on borough property; she asked the district and borough to coordinate repairs so the team can use the cage by next season. She noted insurance and grant timing could affect the repair schedule.
Board secretary Sheila Lubert responded that she has reached out to the insurance company, has received a quote for replacement and has discussed potential borough installation with local borough officials. Lubert said she is pursuing coverage and exploring options to coordinate between the borough and the district to restore the batting cage for community and team use.
The exchange was recorded during the public-comment portion of the meeting; the board noted it generally does not respond during public comment but takes remarks under consideration for future governance action.
