Dr. Gangel said that the plan covered two rather than six years because “in every six-year plan I’ve seen, only the first two years were active.”
The board also received recommendations from high school Assistant Principal David Smith for improvements to the the high school track. Mr. Smith presented three alternatives. The first was for a sixlane all-weather surface, surrounding a field of sufficient dimensions to meet both football and soccer regulations. The cost for this plan is $75,000 to $90,000, but could be reduced to $50,000 to $60,000 if some of the work is donated.
Plan B, would be a similar track without the hard surface and would cost $30,000 to $40,000. This cost also could be reduced by donated labor and materials.
A third alternative would cost $1,000 and would involve spreading and rolling gravel purchased last year and using herbicide to control weed growth.
Mr. Smith said the work in Plan C will be done regardless of the board’s decision so the high school can host two track meets this season.
Funds for Plan A or Plan B will have to be raised privately and a decision made by May 1 on whether either option will go forward, Mr. Smith added. If there is money for either Plan A or Plan B, construction should be scheduled for the period of May 10 to Aug. 10 so the field will be ready for the start of the soccer season. Soccer practice begins the second week of August.
Dr. Gangel told the board he had signed an agreement with the highway department for C & P Telephone’s right-of-way access to buried lines at the comer where the board office’s property meets the planned four lane highway. In exchange he received a set of plans for the four-lane project.
The board members studied the plans, noting that there was a potential problem because there will be only one cross-over point for the high school. If the present one-way traffic pattern on the bus circle at the high school is maintained, buses traveling west on U.S. 211 will have to go past the school and make a utum to enter the driveway. Coming out of the driveway, buses will enter U.S. 211 at a crossover and able to travel in either direction.
“To do this right, we would need four officers,” Dr. Gangel said, ref
