Olive Branch tables pickleball courts bids until March 4; city says Homer Skelton Foundation donated about $510,000
Summary
Bids for a proposed six-court pickleball facility were tabled for further review until March 4. Officials noted a donation of a little over $510,000 from the Homer Skelton Foundation toward the project.
The Board of Aldermen voted to table consideration of bids for the proposed pickleball courts until the board’s March 4 meeting while staff review the submissions.
During the discussion, city officials said public works will place the courts near the dog park and that the project will include restrooms. Board members and staff said the planned facility will include six pickleball courts. A speaker noted a donation from the Homer Skelton Foundation covering a little more than half the expected project cost: “a little over $510,000 a little over half the cost to the pickleball court,” a board member said.
No final award or contract was approved at the meeting. The board’s motion to table bids until March 4 passed unanimously. Staff said they are reviewing bids and will return with further recommendations at the next meeting.
