Council Approves Resolution to Seek ORPT Grant for North Seaford Tennis Courts
Seaford City Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution to pursue an Outdoor Recreation Parks and Trails (ORPT) grant to fund replacement and resurfacing of the north side of the Seaford tennis courts. The council record shows the city applied for $150,000 in ORPT funds and that the project estimate is $475,000; staff said the grant application anticipates a 75/25 match as presented and that the city would apply for an additional USTA grant if awarded.

In presenting the item, a staff member noted the city applied for the ORPT grant "on the fifteenth of this month" and described the work as a mill‑and‑pave resurface and other renovation because simple patching would no longer be sufficient. Councilman Orlando Holland moved to approve the resolution; Councilwoman Stephanie Grasset seconded, and the council voted unanimously.

The transcript records the estimate ($475,000), the ORPT request ($150,000) and staff intent to pursue a United States Tennis Association (USTA) grant later in the year if ORPT funds are awarded. The council did not record detailed cost breakdowns for the city match or a construction timeline in the meeting minutes. Staff comments noted existing court cracking and said the current condition was preventing tournaments and competition use.

The council approved the resolution as presented; no amendments or alternatives were recorded on the public record.
