Board discusses short-term graveling, parking reconfiguration and uncertain irrigation for new field space
Summary
Staff outlined plans to gravel and compact parking/field areas for fall practice, explore converting staff parking to a parent drop-off lane, and noted the local feeder ditch is unreliable for consistent irrigation, making city hookup or other water options necessary.
S1 described a practical short-term plan to level, gravel and compact a parcel to create usable practice and parking space, and said he had discussed irrigation with local providers. "We plant seed and just start just a grass field," S1 said as part of the short-term approach to creating usable field space.
Board members debated whether to convert staff parking into a parent drop-off lane or create a gated one-way flow; participants also raised concerns about the reliability of the local ditch. S8 warned the ditch is intermittent and "it's not gonna be reliable," and staff said the district will explore hooking into city sprinklers or other permanent water sources before fully committing to irrigation-dependent turf.
