Stadium seats, lighting and press‑box wiring among facilities updates presented to the board
Summary
Facilities staff reported progress on stadium seats, light pole placements and press‑box wiring, while noting retaining‑wall and drainage work remains and some permits are still pending.
Facilities staff updated the board on athletics and construction work across campuses, including the press box, light poles and track retaining wall.
On stadium infrastructure, the staff member said, "All of the stadium seats are in, I guess, you'll probably notice that. They look great." He described light‑pole placement primarily at north and south entrances and plans to place additional poles behind the stands near the ticket booth and concession areas so the poles do not conflict with a new playground. Work on the press box wiring was described as critical to getting stadium operations online.
Staff also described drainage and grading concerns around the baseball field and junior high, including a need to revisit pipe sizing to improve runoff. Retaining‑wall details and remediation work are underway; staff is coordinating with contractors (Ramirez and Sons referenced) and awaiting some permits and inspections for next‑phase work.
No formal motions or votes on contract awards or change orders were recorded in the transcript excerpt. Staff said demolition, dirt work and site preparation are scheduled and that coordination with contractors and site visits will continue.
