Superintendent Alan Stauffacher reported that the irrigation system is in place and the field has been seeded. We have an issue with some low spots in the asphalt; the company that installed it will be here Friday to find a remedy. Until there is a solution, the rubberized surface will not be applied, and if there is anything applied that is oil based there will be additional curing time that may push the application of the track surface until the spring. The straw that was placed down will need to be tacked down to keep it from blowing on the track surface if that is to be accomplished this fall. Another issue is that during the curing time we will need to make sure that no one walks on the track. Law enforcement has been contacted to see if they could supply off duty employees to watch over the track during the curing process.
