001um just need approval of the agendas presented motion by B second by amand all in favor [Music] well um just need a motion to approve the consent agenda yeah I'll you do that so we got a motion by Bo seconded by Amanda all in favor 5 moving along we got a presentation by Mr twinner recommendations for this football practice field um I'll try to keep it as short as I can for you guys so we can get out of here and out of the rain um grass needs grass really needs three things to to grow it needs sunlight up here there's no shortage of that um it it's going to need um it needs water obviously and we've got water over here um and then you got to have something for it to grow in
002um the biggest issue that this hillside's probably going to have um you could you could grow grass up here no problem at all um but if you're using it every day as a football practice facility that that grass needs replenished especially you know kids are standing on it planting um this grass is real soft and young like this and you can see me pulling it out with flat hey dude like that um and that's what its purpose is up here and if you're going to do that you're going to have to increase fertility you're going to have to and it's going to have to have some water on it um the other thing and Coach Duke you stopped me if I'm wrong or anybody stopped me if I'm wrong it's not really it doesn't simulate
003a real playing field as as well as our actual playing field would you'd like to see it I'm looking across here I'm probably seeing six feet of R maybe 5T of Rise between here and the other end of our property here um and that that's not ideal um you look at our playing field and it's got one of the heavier crowns probably of any turf field um that you'd see and it's probably two and a half feet across there um so ideally what what you could do in here we still need to keep the slope you don't want to bring it down exactly level but we need to reduce that slope a little bit on there so it's more like a regular playing field you could do that two ways uh the cheaper option would
004probably be to just drop that in down there you can take some of that dirt down there push it this way leave yourself with like 18 in of fall across there if you did that you probably have to put a little bit of a retaining wall up on that end or something like that or you could come in here and you could just Crown it right here in the Middle Run you a swell across the backside you can kind of see where that mailbox or not mailbox that birdhouse is at and you could run it out to daylight in that parking lot down there and just run your water it's already kind of naturally slop that way just kind of run it that way as well um the guy that put together the quote you
005guys saw estimated um I think he estimated like 20,000 to do that I've talked to another guy he said 12 would probably be more than enough um so you would definitely want to open that up for bids because especially a lot of dark movers will give you a lot of different things I think you guys have done enough construction you kind of know that at this point but the biggest thing is if we're going to come up here and do that and we're going to put you're going to put grass seat out here you're going to have to put some kind of irrigation up here luckily you have water up there it it would need to be pressure tested to I believe 45 PSI um but uh for it it's enough to run that spool
006but the bad thing about running that spool is somebody has to come up here every 15 20 minutes and crank that thing back 15 to 20 feet and by time you water the whole practice fa you have to run it all the way out one side run it all the way back run it all the way out down the middle run it all the way back run it all the way out to the left side run it all the way back so uh you know in the summertime you know in order to water this in order for that thing to run its full cycle down there it takes about three and a half hours it's about the same thing to run up here except some guy has to manually do it every day and that's
007um ideally you'd want to get water on this thing about probably about every 3 days um is especially In the Heat of the summer they're going to start practicing after the 4th of July July um grass starts going into especially your cool season grasses are going to start going into dormy more you do have quite a bit of Bermuda up here that you're just never going to get rid of um I mean you could get rid of it I guess if you really want it to but um I would rather embrace it because they're using this facility during the middle of summer and that's a warm season grass which is going to handle that traffic and it's going to hold up a little bit better but if you go out there and you walk out
008there I mean you you guys can see that that dirt's just that D's just not going to hold grass seed if it gets if it keeps getting used um as heavy as it as it has been so do you guys have any questions for me I'm basically telling you the same thing I told you in my video if we would do this be grass in time for the summer no thing so Is it feasible to do half coach Duke and half next year you know you cut this in half on half of it get grass established on half then do the other half we we could certainly do that there's some pretty big holes down there for some where some trees were removed so we'd have to take care of that this is about there's
009a number of dips and swails in here and enough of holes that we could kind of avoid we know where we're at a lot more but we'd also have some and Stu there are some nights where there's grades 3 through 12 you're talking about nor of 120 130 kids at one yeah you could see where Bob is taking the sled already I mean pushing down as far as you can there guys go eat up the grass with it that's that's part of it too but to answer your question could just Tak space manag just to get it it's quite an undertaking to get it all right now have grass on it by I just didn't know we're limited on Space um are you want to simulate a fulls size football field practice field well right
010now we only use it we can only get like 40 yards out of this the way it is right now we we can't get a even if we do 40 yards by the full width 53 and A3 we could get a 40 yard surface which takes you down to about the edge of that five man sled and then it puts you dangerously close to the Red Shed um we have to stay away from the water and stuff already so it's not it's not a full field anyway the way the way it fits then there's I don't think there's a day that goes by Fells that the kids don't ask to go down there because of the conditions up here we're going to buy a lot of a lot of tape to tape a lot of
011ankles for the amount of holes that are here and the 53 the third goes right up to their property line when you talk about WID it goes right up to their line and brings you as you can see the line is right here so you've got just about enough space to get 40 yard with the [Music] field guess my question is how are we going how are we going to improve this space have adequate space well there something that we need lot over there we go off is that plan years ago or today at some point you're going you need to fix it so if we have to fix it and we have to adjust we have to adjust we do know that you know starting in October before the season's over there's no lights
012so we have to go where there's lights because it gets dark around 5:30 6:00 right the that's another thing that we have to talk we have to plan for we do I mean we've talked about running portable lights and bringing them up here and stuff like that just so that we could stay off of that fi but I can show you pictures of what this looked like in July and what it looked like in October and in July there was some patches of grass but it was dirt and in October it was all dirt and dirt's not a terrible thing it's soft it's not soft it has it's not water to all right I come up here and I'll I'll put it out but can't I can't put 4 hours every 3 days up here
013and do my other and do my other duties that I'm required to by the district um I mean I can go down to the building do something for 15 minutes can I come back up here no it doesn't retract and even if it did retract itself back up here you'd still have to come up and sling it out and so then you know you're looking at if I have to run make a visit or something you know I can go do that but you could look at getting another water reel you wanted to do that um but I can only run one reel at a time probably I would [Music] imagine so does that SP it have the requir pressure to put in I don't know you have to get it tested um all in
014one we'll do the testing the people that whenn eyes are um winterize our system down there they tell you how many I think the I don't know if the city can do it or not um did you does it have what we need so we got what we need up there then [Music] um okay so that's an option too I mean if that's what um if that's what you guys uh want to do I mean I'm happy to I'm happy to come up here and pull move the sprinkler around and everything as well if we if we can get that real fix that would be that would be a lot more helpful than coming up every 15 minutes and having to move it around I think there need more some more leg work needs to
015be done you said you talk to someone for 12 12,000 you're going to have to put it out for bid I would assume but I mean I don't have any idea the square footage you're looking at here about an acre and a half so you take that move around dirt and you're looking at fertilizer seed I wouldn't even start looking at that until after you've moved your dirt and got your irrigation still an expense you're going to AB doesn't matter if you look at it now or after the dirt's moved yep you still got a plan for it yeah it'd be nice to know be nice to know what we're getting into before we get into if you want my opinion $335,000 if that's what you're asking for that would be my guess on it
016in order to put in order to come in and do your dirt work do your irrigation and your um seed and fertilizer and everything and then you're looking at being able to practice in being able to start football practice in not this summer but the summer after that is what would be an honest opinion because by the time you get somebody in here to do your dirt work it's going to be July you can't start grass seed in you can't start grass seed in June and July I would I would say and the best time to start it the best time to establish it's going to be in the fall and then you're then you're not you can't be on it you know for six weeks I mean you just can't be on it if
017there's as much bare Earth as you would have up here you can't be stomping over that stuff um so and then the season's over you know and that grass goes into see over the winter so then in the springtime you'd have spring of 26 would be my opinion but that's like I said that's just that's my [Music] guess like you said you dropped the You Dropped a glove there Ro they could they could get it on it they could get on it as soon as um you I mean you could get on it in the in the spring of 26 I mean it would be it'd be established by then for sure I mean we would be doing our first mowing on it in in the springtime or late fall of 25 yeah it's okay
018to do that the question I will ask you is where do you want us to practice while this is happening because the only feasible I mean we can talk about other spots but we can't guarantee we have other spots right we can't guarantee that somebody else will say yes so is if that's the case with I'm all in happy to do it but the expectation is we're going to practice there every day that's going to turn into this up here if that I mean you're going to have to spend as much money to repair that we could go over there I I don't know if there's any irrigation there so it may turn around and it'll look it'll look like this when we're done and then the financial cost of the district is what to
019fix that I don't know we use it for soccer but you guys use it on Sundays for three hours and practice couple times a week and it's 20 PB kids not 240 PB kids twisting around on it how you're still going to have room for our student athletes what you need to do while we're trying I'm willing to help however Logistics move twice what that cost is if you have to set it out and say hey this is one BB you're going do half then you're going to do half just so that we know the expectation of where we're going to be that also means gy classes increase traffic [Music] I to guys I'll be honest with you it I don't on my end it would make me just as tickled happy if we could
020get that thing fixed up there I'd be happy to pull that because I can go make a visit like make my SAE visit take an hour and then I can come back and and move that pull that reel about Jason a minle here bringing dirt in leveling up our areas that we got to level come in area eight and then hot dress it and then seat it fertilize it I still don't think you'd be able to get on it by summertime if we did that you I don't know I'd be worried about it it's going to be young um and whatever top soil you bring in make sure you're not bringing in weed seeds and everything else too so um but I I would ask I would ask somebody I would talk to somebody who
021runs an Excavating business more than me I wouldn't I don't think you'll ever get level out here I don't think you really yeah I can put some grass seed out on it this spring if we could get it done like you may get some BR if we could get it done season starts if we could get it done like now like right away that would be better than nothing for sure yeah and just to kind of help fill in some of these holes and stuff up here that are twisting ankles and things like that I think that would be a I think that would help a lot too get good down yep water oh yeah things here pretty quick too yeah I mean it would it you're going to have to do it like 2
022weeks is what I would [Music] recommend by the time you come in here and get the dirt put out and everything so the only thing you're out right now is just a little starter fertilizer on the grass which is 100 bucks or something that's what I put out here earlier so especially if you put top soil on so it's not going to hurt it any I've got a big rolling airator um but a core airator would be a a core airator would be ideal um and if you could if we can get that if we can get water up here um like a top soil sand mix would be even better um after you came in and air rated it came in with big roller but that's what I would I don't even know who
023to call about uh a big roller okay but we would have to find a tractor or something to pull it with cuz I don't think our little thing would pull it yes it does c yeah so I yeah that's an option yeah I imags all something for sure but yeah that's my honestly my biggest thing is we've got to get water up here cuz those kids don't want to get tackled up here on this and I don't blame them and if you get up here in July it [Music] is nope I would I mean if you're going to do it though i' I would do it now um especially if you want to be us [Music] something you it I'd bring your top soil in first and get it filled in and then I'd come
024in yeah then I'd come in with a I'd come in with a core airator that's going to drive down six or so inches or something like that and that'll come in and kind of mix that those two soil profiles together otherwise you're going to end up with a like a hard pan basically up top here there probably already I mean this this is compacted up here there's no doubt about it um and what'll happen is that water will go down and it'll just it'll just set right on top of this up here and it'll rot your roots out underneath you and your roots won't won't take in so you're going to have to come in with an air like a um deep core airator and really kind of mix those profiles together best thing would
025honestly best thing would be to come and aate it first put your soil on and then air rate it again and really mix them would be the ideal situation but then you're Wren that core airator twice um as well so um [Music] but you're not going to have a you're not going to have a Level Playing Field or whatever but it'll at least you'll be better than what you have I would say for sure so um yeah your opinion are be throwing good money at a bad idea by doing that no no yeah no I don't think throwing top oh no no you ought to just fix it fix it right I don't know it but that you're not going to rent that that core erator when they came and did this one when I
026first took over doing that what has it been two years now two I can't remember it was like $600 to rent and the guy came in and just did it just arated the whole thing honestly I mean no I don't think you're throwing good money at a bad idea that's a really good idea um it's going to make it's going to make the grass up here a lot nicer I don't know if it gives him the the ideal level playing surface but it gives it's a lot better than what what those kids have um for sure yeah get trass you can see what we put on down there if you look down the middle of the hash marks I don't know if you guys can see it starting to come up there in the middle
027on the crown that's called HGT it's um high growth Turf is what it's called it's a romal bluegrass seed then Bluegrass typically if you look here you see how it clumps typically like this and that's what creates a lot of those holes this stuff spreads like Bermuda but it holds but it grows like a cool season grass and it holds your high it's your high Turf um it's going to give you the same wear that like Fescue will without that clumping effect that a Fescue will get like you know like on the Outfield there a ball hits a hits that it takes off or something which is kind of your ideal and it can be mowed a lot it can be mowed a lot shorter as well because of that but but yeah like you
028said a good I mean that's $900 a bag you know on that and you guys bought two bags of that you know this fall um in order to put out six lbs of in order to put six PBS or what do we do four and a half um yeah I did but it's been let's see did I do it last spring yes I did last spring um honestly um your nutrient value is all there um it was lower than what it is down there down there youve got really good nutrient values and everything um your organic matter is pretty low so we've been fertilizing with a we've been fertilizing with what's called um let reclaim sewage is what it is but uh what the Morganite is what Morganite have you seen that it's like a
029640 or something like 644 something like that and you don't want to fertilize something really hot in the summertime because you'll just burn it off but um if you can increase your organic matter in your soil here it's going to really help with your really help with your water retainage um your water holding capacity and those sort of things as well um sand help with that too oh yeah yeah and you're going to have I mean you'll have to come in with a synthetic fertilizer to start um for sure um a starter cuz you're going to want that higher end value that like a like a 13 13 13 or something like that good general purpose one or something up top but um I would you know I would estimate up here I probably another
030two bags of seed would give you because you're going to have to put it on a lot heavier than you put on your um when you come in and then you're going to need some kind of some kind of mulch on top if you want to go with straw or something that probably be the cheapest mulch up here bad thing about straw especially if you don't get real good straws you can bring in a lot of wheed seeds too um and that that young grass you obviously don't want to spray with like a fourway herbicide or something like that and um kill off all your good work but do you think 5,000 can get you started oh I don't know um I don't know I can call [Music] $2 okay so what do you want
031me to do okay just email it to you guys all right okay can we go ahead and get the goahead to fix that thing up there on the hill I and we're going to have to have that no matter what you do up here so yeah cool all right um what was the lady that said she had top soil that at the board meeting Sarah Sarah Moon okay okay so top so I'll go ahead and get the core airator um am I okay to go to 5,000 that's what I'm asking here because I can get a lot done with 5,000 I know that I can come in I can put your top soil so the finance guys 5,000 right okay yes okay I'm just going to because I mean this is going to have to
032get done in like two weeks is why I'm saying so that's why I don't want yep again SE yep right put the mulch on it yep put the mulch on it you think you can do that fix there so then you need five grand is that just right on the money or I hope so I hope so um I don't know how much it's going to cost for people to to to spread it out or to roll it and all that um if you guys know somebody who can that was to do all that was to do all the dirt work and move all this dirt and stuff and to put it yeah and you were going to come in and you were going to put two thou you're going to put $10,000 worth of
033sprinkler heads and plumbing and all that now you're not putting that in anymore I'd like a little bit [Music] leway I'm going to do I'm going to keep it I'm going to try to stay at five as and if I have if I have to I'll ask but um all to be little pieces yeah that he's got to pick up make sure got inflationary adjustment so I think we're okay okay it's get grass growing got some of this poles and stuff fill inated got team a on top of it oh that's might have 3500 in grass seed two bags may not cut it up here might not but I'm worried about the W [Music] thatas two bags would cover a lot because you're going to probably put it out about if you're establishing you're going
034to put in probably about 8 lbs of 8 lb th000 square foot or so out here so you got let's see here you got uh 8 lb 1,000 square foot you're going to have lb that'll do that'll do 12,000 square [Music] feet what did you how wide you say a football field was 43 160 feet3 and how long do you want to go well right now we 40 yard the field and 10 yard the endone that gives us 50 that takes us to where it just I don't know what tree was cut out but there's a big dip over there and it keeps us off the okay would so 160 or sorry 60 yards would that be deep enough so you're at 180 so 2800 by [Music] 8 36,000 Square fet yeah probably three bags
035of grass seed that's what math works out as so let's get [Music] started I got anything else if you guys have any questions just holler at me yep thank you guys you want this rabbit foot back we had one piece here guys I want to give this to you Bob you want talk this just came up today all here talk about it it's the uh freezer that's outside I want you to see this because it's it's a pretty big Bill I kind of want to get on it so lose a bunch of food that's the top end of bill that's if we have to take the unit off the top cut it all pull Theon out of it cut the lines off new compressor and condenser no that's just for a new roof for be
036a rubber that's got a raised Ridge roof on it yeah and the more likely the more likely the foam and stuff on the inside pull down in it cuz getting moisture into it with the temperatures and stuff but they're recommending that we put like a box rof on it with a rubber coat over it they're going to go ahead and put insulation in the raised Ridge part of it but they're hoping that they can just raise the unit up just enough to get the rubber underneath of it so it all stays one piece yes no maybe you can't lose food okay that's I want to make sure I'm getting ready to do it I keeping in the loop yeah well the I mean we can't the Health Department's the one that they come in they
037came in and they no it of course I never go in there but they noticed that there was Ice build up on the roof and then the air and water intrusions what causes that it's not like a frost it's like an actual ice but well then when that ice falls down onto the food then that causes a health hazard because you're bringing in outside dirty water whatever you want to call it contamination got a motion to approve buter bid good with that it no made it do we have yeah I'll make a motion uh got a motion second by myself all in favor 5 thank you guys um did we want to address the building over here at it which which building the r one we just got to find a place what let find
038somewhere Go With It Well I mean we just get a we get a laid dumpster I have idea I have an idea I have an idea April 2 to city city wide pickup put it in people's houses but we'll have to have place to put stuff we're gonna have to there's room in that white building you want some options for that we're either going to have to put it in we're either going to have to clean out this white block building and put it in there or we're going to have to put it in there for the time being and figure something out out here or part of that white building floods when it rains so I like to get a conx one of them shipping containers put on one side yeah you could do
039that could do that they're about they're about $3,000 depend on what size you want likeor yes you could paint it make it look decent too it's an option that thing would be super dry yeah if you wanted it you put it and it's secure I mean rip doors it could be there for right now but you can't you can't let anybody go back in there the the platforms that it sits on are it's about to fall over I mean all this needs to be gone but if you had two conx boxes up here you get rid of that well then all the that's a Bobby yeah or l loog call get couple yard dumpsters up here we get another IDE get two conx bring them out from the building this way put a roof over
040top of them between them and then you can put all your IDE all right anybody got anything else n we going down to the main building we are yeah so so do we need to adjourn no think so no taking it to her I think you're it paus rocks I am
