Staff says Sportsplex construction is making ground progress; some Pony World Series games moved
Summary
City staff reported progress at the Sportsplex — drainage, pony walls and fencing installed — and said contractors are progressing faster on the ground than schedules imply; some Pony World Series age groups moved to San Marcos while the city will host opening ceremonies July 6.
City staff updated the commission on the Sportsplex construction, reporting that pony walls are installed, field drainage work is underway and all main underground infrastructure (electrical, water and wastewater mains) has been placed. The presenter said the drainage system is designed to move an inch (plus a half-inch) of rain off the fields within an hour and described ongoing work on fencing, footings and the maintenance building. "The drainage system has started... it'll drain within an hour," staff said.
Commissioners asked whether the complex would be ready for the Pony World Series; staff said organizers shifted some age groups to San Marcos and HYBSA while Buda will host opening ceremonies on July 6 and assist during the tournament week. Staff characterized contractor schedules as conservative and said significant physical progress is visible on-site. Staff expects to continue updates and will work with tournament organizers on contingency plans.
