Summary

The commission discussed prior letters to the school superintendent about stormwater/runoff, setback concerns for a field backstop, and porta‑potty placement; members agreed to request a site walk with the superintendent and the school's facilities director to explore collaborative solutions.

Commissioners revisited ongoing concerns raised in earlier letters to the school superintendent about runoff, the location of a baseball backstop inside a 100‑foot buffer and portable‑toilet placement. The superintendent told commissioners the school has asked its water contractors for more data and that moving the field would be a costly, long‑term option.

One commissioner urged a collaborative approach: rather than immediate enforcement, the commission will invite the superintendent and the school's facilities director for a site walk and discussion to identify practical mitigations. The commission agreed to limit attendees (three or fewer commissioners) so the meeting would not constitute a formal quorum and to try to schedule the visit before schools reopen in early September.
