Commission approves funding move to resurface Ormond Beach Tennis Center courts
Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda item authorizing restoration and resurfacing steps for the Ormond Beach Tennis Center after residents and center staff described high weekly use and a pending Racing and Rec grant deadline.
The Ormond Beach City Commission approved, as part of the consent agenda, staff action to proceed with restoration and resurfacing work for the Ormond Beach Tennis Center.
Why it matters: Speakers including Tennis Center director Trishna (Tricia) Patel and several supporters described large weekly usage and growing programming that they said draws players from across the region. Staff and commissioners said the center is a community asset and that timely action will help meet a Racing and Recreation grant application deadline on Jan. 28.
Details: Trishna Patel told the commission the facility served roughly 400–500 people per week in 2024 and that programming had increased; she said 2025 use projections were higher. Staff recommended resurfacing the clay courts and explained grant application materials and deadlines in comments to commissioners. Deputy Mayor Lori Tolland and Commissioner Travis Sargent both thanked Leisure Services staff for responding to the public requests and for advancing the resurfacing work.
Outcome: The consent agenda (with the pavilion item 7f tabled separately) was approved by roll call. The commission directed staff to help meet the Racing and Rec grant deadline and move forward with the resurfacing work as budget and procurement allow.
Ending: Staff said they would return with contract documents and grant follow‑up as needed.
