Board approves EA Sports feasibility study for football field, caps cost at $5,000
Summary
After an added-agenda roll-call vote, the Minersville board authorized a feasibility study for football field reparations (EA Sports football field upgrade) with a cost cap not to exceed $5,000; two members voted no when the agenda item was added and when the study was approved.
The board voted to add an item to the agenda concerning a feasibility study on the current football stadium, then approved a comparative/feasibility study for field reparations (referred to in the minutes as an "EA Sports Football field upgrade") with costs not to exceed $5,000. The minutes note that the motion to add the item passed after a roll call in which James O'Brien, Jr. and Michael Andruchek voted no while other members voted in favor.
On the feasibility study motion itself the minutes record the same roll-call result: two members voted no (the minutes list Brien [O'Brien] and Andruchek) and the motion carried. The study is authorized to proceed subject to the stated $5,000 cost cap.
Why it matters: authorization establishes the board's willingness to fund an exploratory study of athletic-field repairs up to a defined budget ceiling; the vote was not unanimous, indicating some board members had reservations about adding the agenda item and the study's cost.
