Resident urges board to find alternative to proposed athletic complex near homes
Summary
Mary, a neighborhood resident, told the Colman‑Egan School Board the athletic complex "does not belong in our backyards," urging the board to seek a long‑term siting solution and preserve privacy; board members said city counsel and ISG are researching annexation and permitting next steps.
Mary, a neighborhood resident, opened public comment by thanking the board for community meetings and asking the district to keep communication lines 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, and challenged the board to "come up with a solution with the possibility of expansion that makes sense long into the future."
Board members acknowledged the concern. The chair and other members said the district has asked its school attorney to coordinate with the city attorney and with ISG — the firm handling permitting and annexation — and that the city is scheduled to meet next week; the board expects to have more detailed next‑step information at its next meeting. The district did not adopt any final decision on siting at this meeting.
