Board tables pickleball and preservation bids to March 18; donors expected at next meeting
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted to table consideration of bids for a new pickleball facility and a preservation project until the March 18 meeting so donors and foundation representatives can appear and be publicly thanked.
The Board of Aldermen voted to table consideration of two bid items to the boards March 18 meeting: bids for a proposed pickleball facility and bids for a preservation project. The pickleball item was deferred so the donors and the foundation that pledged a mostly matching contribution could attend the next meeting and receive recognition.
Mayor (name not specified) said the foundation had donated "a little over half a million dollars" toward the pickleball courts; the mayor and staff indicated the donors would be present at the March 18 meeting. Board members said it would be appropriate to have the donors attend before taking final action.
Motion details: For the pickleball item, Mister Dickerson moved to table and Miss Hamilton seconded; the board voted to table. For the preservation bids, Mister Wallace moved to table and Miss Aldridge seconded; the board likewise voted to table to March 18.
These tablings were taken from the consent/old business calendar and do not represent final approval of either project; the board will consider the items again on March 18 when donors and further information are expected to be available.
