Summary

Piedmont High School requested approval to begin fundraising for a covered batting facility (for baseball and softball); staff noted site constraints (ADA access, electrical hookup) influenced the proposed location and said they will follow up on hitting direction and other details.

Miss Ewell presented a BGM from Piedmont High requesting permission to begin fundraising for a covered batting facility, describing the request as a desire to "build a batting cage in their area or covered hitting facility." She said project managers visited the site to confirm appropriateness and that the packet identifies the proposed placement area.

Committee members expressed concern about placing the facility near the main road and asked whether alternative locations were available; Miss Ewell said staff had reviewed several locations but that ADA access and electrical hookup needs affected the chosen site. A committee member asked, "So which way will they actually be hitting, towards the road or towards the field?" Miss Ewell said she would follow up with that detail.

The committee did not take formal action on the fundraising request during this meeting; staff will follow up with the committee on site orientation and other logistical questions.
