Facilities committee hears Save the Sound presentation on small dam near turf field
Summary
Save the Sound presented data on a small dam near the district turf field and indicated it would seek grant funding and return with more information on flooding and neighborhood impacts; facilities staff also previewed capital work including a high‑school gym roof transfer.
The district's facilities committee met before the board session and received an informational presentation from Save the Sound about the possible removal of a small (roughly 1.5‑foot) dam on a brook near the turf field. The group emphasized that it was offering information and potential options; it is not seeking district funding but would request permission to access the area if a grant‑funded project were to move forward.
Committee members asked for additional data on flood impacts for neighbors and agreed Save the Sound would return with further analysis. Facilities staff also reviewed recent and planned capital work, including near‑completion items (Midland and Osborne additions), a phase‑2 plan for the high school media center and an anticipated transfer of about $700,000 to capital projects for the high‑school gym roof.
No board action was taken on the dam; the group flagged the proposal for future discussion pending grant and impact information.
