Committee explores fix for lumpy playing surface, faulty irrigation with local vendor
Summary
The Facilities Committee discussed safety problems with the Junior High ball fields — uneven surface and an incorrectly installed irrigation system — and is exploring collaboration with local contractor Goins Roads and Excavation to address safety and cost concerns.
The Facilities Committee addressed safety and functionality problems at the Junior High athletic fields. Minutes record that the field surface is "lumpy" and the irrigation system was installed incorrectly and now has many faults; the condition raises safety concerns for students using the fields. The district is exploring collaboration with local vendor Brandon Goins of Goins Roads and Excavation and said it will consider creative cost-saving measures to improve the playing environment.
No contract or timeline was approved at the meeting; the discussion focused on identifying needs and potential local contracting options to correct irrigation faults and surface irregularities. Committee members emphasized the importance of providing a safe playing environment for students and said they will pursue options to reduce costs while addressing safety issues.
