According to Bob Sube, who supervises Fillmore School District structure development, the high school track is undergoing significant corrective surgery. The all-weather track, which is composed of several layers of rubber particulate and a clear synthetic over-sheet sprayed with grit for traction, was not level. The lower spots collected water and made the surface less suitable for runners. This was the second major flaw discovered by Bob Sube. The first problem was related to sub-standard artificial turf. The entire playing field had to be removed and replaced. The cost was covered by warranties in the construction contract, as was the cost of leveling the track. The final coating for the track should be finished this weekend. The total cost of these corrections is estimated to be near $200,000. Mr. Sube has done an exceptional job of overseeing the District’s new construction. The Gazette recently found him checking-out Sespe School’s new playground equipment on his day off. He saw to it that a proper border was poured and a soft layer of material was placed under the equipment before it was put into use. This playground is avidly used by children from kindergarten through second grade.
