Board approves Sunny Brae turf reinstallation after drainage failure; staff to pursue insurance recovery

Trustees asked for and received details on a turf replacement at Sunny Brae Elementary that had been removed from the consent agenda for clarification.

A trustee who pulled the item asked why the district was paying for reinstallation. District facilities staff explained that winter drainage failure under the field required a new drainage design and turf replacement; the work has been completed and should be ready for play by the end of next week. Staff said they are working with the district's insurance carrier to determine recovery of costs.

Trustees thanked construction and facilities teams for their work, and the board approved the reinstallation by voice vote as a consent item pulled for discussion.

Next steps: staff to provide follow-up updates on insurance recovery options and final cost tallies.
