District updates on Ag Building progress; board agrees to add baseball-field restroom to capital agenda
Summary
Staff said the Ag Building interior work is underway and likely to finish in about six weeks; after a clogged-toilet incident a board member asked to replace the baseball-field restroom and home plate, with staff outlining feasible designs and providing transcript-stated cost estimates to be confirmed.
District staff told the board the Ag Building project is in the interior phase and that contractors expect to finish substantial work within about six weeks. "They plan to finish within the next 6 weeks," the director said, noting interior electrical, structural and insulation work is ongoing.
Separately, a board member raised urgent concerns about the high-school baseball field after a large event left restroom facilities unusable. The board member urged replacement of the existing restroom building and better facilities near the field. Staff discussed options including demolition and installation of a modest restroom building with accessible fixtures and a supply closet; they said projects over $50,000 must be bid.
Rough cost figures were mentioned in the meeting: staff cited about $15,000 for a new home plate and stated a larger figure for a restroom facility (figure reported in the transcript). Because the meeting transcript reflects these numbers but the project estimates were not validated during the meeting, staff will prepare formal cost estimates and a capital-project proposal for a future board meeting. The board agreed to place the item on the capital-projects agenda for review and possible approval.
