Summary

Maintenance staff reported roof leaks fixed and an ADA interior opener awaiting parts; board members raised accessibility issues at weekend events and the district pledged clearer facility-use scheduling and improved door-access procedures.

Maintenance lead Mark (speaker 3) told the board that recent roof leaks have been repaired and that an interior ADA door opener is still being fixed: "I have 2 switches on order, and they hopefully will be in 1st part of next week, and we can change those out, and that should resolve that problem." He said the Snack Shack plumbing and electrical issues have been addressed but the work has not yet been fully stress-tested under heavy use.

A board member (speaker 9) raised a concern about weekend access after an elderly couple encountered difficulties with stairs during a booster basketball event and were assisted via elevator by a staff member. The member asked whether the district could use the front entrance for weekend events to improve accessibility; district staff said the incident resulted from an ambiguous facility-use booking and pledged clearer scheduling and pre-arranged entrance and lighting procedures to prevent recurrence. The board also discussed repairing a loose board on a gym window and confirmed ongoing monitoring of safety and vandalism improvements.
