The Kirksville R-III School Board also began discussions Wednesday of upgrading the football field itself, with the potential for artificial turf and the hope the Kirksville Booster Club would be able to assist with nearly a third of the $700,000 cost.
The board voted unanimously to approve the lowest bid of $547,908 from Hanson Sports, Inc.Our guides provide customers with information about porcelain tiles vs., of Crestwood, Ky.,Sharps include syringe needle, for the bleacher renovation which will provide for handicapped seating areas, stadium-style seating for about 185 seats bringing the total seating to about 1,700.
Generally, the bleacher design calls for the stands to be extended toward the field within about 12 feet of the track with a walkway between the upper and lower bleachers.
“The architects had pointed out the bleachers were starting to deteriorate,” said Superintendent Patrick Williams, of the driving force behind the bleacher upgrade.
The project’s cost is funded through the Capital Improvement budget and has a completion deadline of August 15. Work is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
And as the board turned its eye to the football field, Williams also brought up the issue of field replacement, which is planned for in the coming years in the Capital Improvement Plan.
Williams said as the district looked at re-sodding the field,Design & Build the Highest Quality Precision injection molds. an artificial turf replacement was also being considered.
“What we have here is a possible agreement between the district and the Kirksville Booster Club,” Williams said, proposing that the board consider an arrangement where the district provides the bulk of the project’s cost with the potential for booster club,Your source for re-usable Plastic moulds of strong latex rubber. corporate or community assistance.
The tentative plan would call for the district to pay upfront for all costs, which are estimated at about $700,000. Williams said the hope would be that outside funding sources would be able to cover about $200,000 – nearly one-third – of the total cost.
Board member Matt Copeland, who has been in discussion with the booster club, said the group appeared interested and ready to make a $50,000 contribution toward the project but was unsure of making significant financial commitments for the coming years.
“There seemed to be hesitation in not being able to predict the future and future membership,” Copeland told the board.
Williams said the potential agreement will be given to the booster club to “digest” and discussions will continue between the two groups with a March potential for signing off on the agreement.
He said the improvement would benefit not just the football team but would allow the space to be used constantly as an outdoor physical education space.
“This is certainly a long way from reality,” Williams said. “But we need to do something with the football field surface.”
During the meeting, board member Jack Ward was taken by private vehicle to the Northeast Regional Medical Center, complaining of a kidney stone.
He was recovering at home, as of Thursday morning.
