Resident Mary urges board to find alternative site for proposed athletic complex
Summary
A resident who addressed the Colman-Egan School District board told trustees the proposed athletic complex does not belong in neighborhood backyards and urged the board to pursue alternatives that allow future expansion while preserving privacy.
Mary, a neighborhood resident who addressed the board during public comment, thanked trustees for holding one-on-one neighborhood meetings and asked them to keep communication open. "Still, none of us think the athletic complex belongs in our backyards for so many reasons and not just because we decided to live there because of the privacy," she said, urging the board to find a long-term solution that allows for possible expansion.
Board members acknowledged the comment and said legal and permitting steps — including potential annexation and work with attorneys and ISG on permitting — are under review and that the city is expected to have more information at the board's next meeting. The board did not take formal action on the site during the meeting; discussion was limited to public comment and staff indicated more information will be presented at a future meeting.
