Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes expending up to $300,000 to renovate tennis facilities at Ottawa, Cass Ryan, Trilby and Copland Parks. An evaluation of the current tennis facilities was performed which resulted in specific recommendations for each park. While recommendations varied from site to site they included elements such as new play surfacing, new fencing, new net posts and nets, inclusion of pickle ball courts, etc. The scope of improvements for each site will increase the quality of play, capacity, and the safety for neighborhood residents visiting these parks. Funds for this project were allocated in the approved 2022 mid-year budget adjustment to the Capital Improvement Fund.
