Committee votes to remove pickleball from meeting agendas until further progress
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Committee voted to remove pickleball from future meeting agendas until a fundraising partner shows a clear path forward; motion passed by voice vote.
Committee members debated whether to continue discussing a proposed pickleball facility after staff reported there was not yet a clear private fundraising partner and the village’s budget allocation would not fully fund a facility.
A committee member said the village had budgeted some funds but “it’s not nearly enough to actually move forward with a pickleball facility” and recommended temporarily removing the item from future agendas until a fundraising group provided a clear plan. That member said the village would reintroduce the item if a partner or new information emerged.
A motion to remove pickleball from the agenda until there is substantive movement was made and seconded; the committee voted by voice to approve the motion. No specific funding action or expenditure was authorized at the meeting.
Minutes show a voice vote with “aye” recorded and no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript. Staff noted the item can be re-added when the interested fundraising group returns with a plan.
