The fate of improvements to Oak Glen baseball/ softball complex will be discussed at a work session slated for Monday. Although “discussion and possible action to begin the process for installation of the turf and lighting at Oak Glen Field of Dreams” was listed under “Unfinished business”, the Board decided to discuss it along with the timeline for completion of the Weirton High baseball project.
Under new business on the agenda, the board was to see the final plans for the baseball facility at Weir that included JT Sauers & Associates providing the BOE with a conceptual/feasibility drawing of the seating, plaza area, batting cage, bull pens, entrance gating and press box that were not included in the McKinley plan. Superintendent Dawn Petrovich said she had just received the plans at 4 p.m. prior to the meeting and the Board had not been given ample time to review them. The plans will be discussed at the work session.
Although the issues can be discussed in a free and open forum, no decisions or votes can be taken during a work session..
