Summary

Board reviewed short‑term plans to gravel and compact a nearby lot for practice space and discussed converting a back street to one‑way drop‑off flow, gating options and signage to improve safety and reduce hazardous drop‑off behaviors.

Presenter (S1) proposed a short‑term plan to level, gravel and compact a nearby lot to create usable turf and additional parking for practices, describing outreach to irrigation and landowners about water access and partnership options. "It's to come in, level it, then we gravel 0.5 of it," Presenter (S1) said, outlining a short‑term solution while the board plans long‑term field and irrigation work.

Board members debated operational fixes to arrival patterns including converting the back street to one‑way circulation, temporary ropes or gates during arrival times, clearer signage and a parent drop‑off lane near the office. Committee member (S7) recommended a one‑way flow with mapped directions and suggested sending maps and mass texts to families to change habits rather than relying solely on construction changes.
