Softball field renovation limit raised to $53,000

What happened

On September 16, 2026, the board cancelled its April approval of softball field work up to $35,000 and approved a revised plan of up to $53,000, by a 5-1 vote. Local banks have pledged $10,000 donations toward the field.

Why it matters to families

The new limit is about 50% higher than first approved, and one board member voted no.

The evidence

The September 16, 2026 minutes record the rescinded motion and the new $53,000 limit passing 5-1. The April 15 minutes show the earlier $35,000 limit.
