Board approves City of Greenville easement at Serene Stadium
Summary
The board approved the City of Greenville's request for a new sanitary‑sewer easement through Serene Stadium property and authorized termination of the existing easement; staff said the work will not run under the stadium structure and the city will restore disturbed areas.
The Granville County Schools Committee of the Whole voted to approve an easement request from the City of Greenville to replace a sanitary‑sewer line that runs through the Serene Stadium property and to terminate the existing easement at the same location.
District staff described the work as running under a corner of the stadium property, not beneath the stadium structure itself, and said the city will replace disturbed paving and re‑gravel the parking area used for team buses. Staff said the primary risk would be if construction overlapped with football season affecting bus parking, and noted shuttle arrangements could be used if necessary.
A board member (Miss Middleton) moved to approve the easement as presented and to approve termination of the existing easement; the motion was seconded, members voted "aye," and the chair declared the motion carried. No individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: the easement allows the city to replace aging sanitary infrastructure that crosses district property while requiring restoration of disturbed areas; the board emphasized minimizing impacts to stadium operations during athletic season.
What the board will do next: staff said they will request a firmer timeline from the city and share that schedule with the board and affected schools once available.
