Summary
Sun City West Properties Committee reached consensus Feb. 6 to defer replacement of windscreens at RH Johnston Tennis Courts after staff recommended delaying the $55,000 project; committee discussed a one- or two-year delay and will remove the item from the budget if deferred.
The Sun City West Properties Committee on Feb. 6 agreed by consensus to defer replacement of windscreens at the RH Johnston Tennis Courts, staff said. The committee discussion centered on condition, cost and timing rather than immediate replacement.
Committee members heard that the windscreens are roughly 7½ years old and had been evaluated as being in “fair” condition. Staff presented a reduced price of about $55,000 if the work proceeds now (an earlier estimate had been $75,000), and said the club had asked that the project be delayed. A staff representative recommended deferral; the committee moved to defer and a member seconded the motion. No formal roll-call vote was recorded; several committee members verbally indicated agreement.
The committee debated whether to defer the project one or two years. One committee member said the windscreens “look almost new now” after recent rain, and another cautioned that prices may rise if the work is postponed. Staff said if the committee chooses to defer, the item will be removed from the budget in March.
The decision was recorded as a committee consensus to defer the windscreens; staff will update budget materials and return the item for future consideration if conditions or pricing change.
The discussion occurred during the committee’s review of proposed repair-and-replacement items for fiscal year 2025–26, where staff reviewed other proposed projects and deferrals.
