The Superintendent requested an ad-hoc committee review UUSD and community needs regarding fields and explore solutions including costs. There are impacts concerning serving approximately 1200 Physical Education students per day year-round such as weather limitations (weather severely limits outside activity for many months of the year), and poor field conditions causing safety concerns with use of current fields. Staff and students would have more opportunities for outdoor instruction with the addition of an artificial turf field.
For student athletes, the current fields severely limit practice time and game start time. Student athletes must use blacktop and cafeteria for practices, increasing the risk of potential injuries. The relocation of home games due to poor field conditions results in a loss of study time, increased travel time and increased transportation cost. With soccer now being a winter sport in the North Bay League, Ukiah High School is the only school without an artificial turf field, limiting the ability to host games in the winter. Concerning the impact to the community, having an all weather field would give access for thousands of soccer players year round and yield the first regulation size artificial turf field in Mendocino county. In addition, soccer players (youth and adults) would be provided a safer and healthier environment. In turn, an all weather field would contribute to more competitive opportunities for Mendocino county players, enabling access to a field for more practice and game opportunities. An artificial turf field would also provide an economic benefit for the community, offering the opportunity to host area tournaments and League/Section playoffs. This would increase the use of food and lodging for local businesses, generate dollars in the community, and assist local families who will have less travel/expenses and more opportunities to attend games. For the field location, the committee recommends the construction of an artificial turf field north of the outdoor basketball courts at Ukiah High School. In place of the baseball diamond currently located in this area, a new baseball diamond would be constructed east of the new turf field. The new turf field can be multi use and lined for two 9 v 9 youth fields that run east/west. Estimates are pending professional design. (See to scale graphic in attachment for approximate placement.) A cost comparison was done on various similar field projects in Sonoma County and is included in the provided attachment. To fund the project, the committee identified the need to pass a local general obligation bond as the source of funding for the school facility project. Recommend Board approval of a preliminary design plan set based on one of the following scenarios: - CMAS procurement vendor may provide “no cost” design plan
- If design plan is not available at no cost, then approve a 50%
design plan set; not to exceed amount of $50,000 from one-time facility funds Resource 9525 (current balance $543,000).

In 2017, UUSD employees, local community members, and facilities experts worked together to create a Facilities Master Plan to identify and prioritize school repair needs and costs. The Board approved the Facilities Master Plan; however, it is necessary to continue to identify funding sources as our facilities assessment discovered more than $70 million in immediate code and maintenance upgrade needs and more than $150 million to enhance our schools with projects like updated science classrooms, artificial turf at Ukiah High School, and a health and wellness center at Yokayo Elementary. We continually address small problems as they arise and make small campus improvements with our current budget, but we do not have adequate resources to do all the upgrades we’d like to do to encourage 21st-century learning.
While we continue to maintain our academic excellence, our students are being educated in school buildings with leaky roofs, deteriorating plumbing and sewer systems and inadequate electrical and ventilation systems. Also, on nearly every campus, several of our portable classrooms have outlived their 20-year lifespan and are still being used on a daily basis to teach students. We also want to enhance our campuses to make them safer and allow them to enrich more students. School safety improvements could include fencing and updated communications systems, and we’ve had numerous requests from students and parents to provide an all-weather field at Ukiah High School. Based on our research, more than 1,200 students would use the new field daily, taking advantage of year-round, healthy outdoor activities. The UUSD Board of Trustees is considering placing a school facilities improvement bond measure on the March 3, 2020, ballot. The proposed measure would extend the current tax rate to no more than $60 per $100,000 in assessed home value (not market value) and would generate up to $88 million in locally controlled funding to improve our schools. With this funding, UUSD could be eligible for about $20 million in matching funds from the State. If passed by voters, strict financial accountability measures would be in place to provide oversight of the funds. All funding would stay local to support Ukiah schools and could never be taken away by the State. Additionally, it could only be used for facilities-related projects (no funds would be used for salaries or pensions, for example). A citizens’ oversight committee and independent audits would ensure all funds are spent as required by law and as voters intended. The resolution to place an initiative on the March 2020 ballot will be attached by Wednesday, November 13.

The School Board approved the potential purchase of a Food Trailer for South Valley to be used in the interim until a permanent building is built at the school site which would include a Food Service area. Once a permanent building is completed, the Food Trailer can be relocated, with one option to relocate the trailer to Ukiah High School to expand service and accessibility for students.
