Maintenance report: drainage, recurring bathroom repairs and stadium plans discussed
Summary
Maintenance staff reported repeated bathroom-stall damage and described field drainage issues; outside contractors quoted phased field work and a rough estimate of tens of thousands of dollars to improve field playability.
Maintenance supervisor (S7) briefed the board on recurring bathroom-stall hardware damage and field-playability problems. Board members asked for a cost comparison between recurring monthly repairs and a one-time upgrade to more durable fixtures.
On athletic fields, S7 and outside contractors described drainage shortfalls on the baseball field and discussed French drains and phased remediation. A quoted ballpark estimate during the meeting placed more extensive field work at roughly "50 to $70,000" for getting fields playable and adding drainage components; board members asked for itemized estimates so the district can consider phased funding and potential booster or community contributions.
Board members asked maintenance to produce an itemized proposal that separates immediate low-cost repairs from longer-term drainage and stadium improvements and to explore local volunteer or donated equipment options where feasible.
