Council approves final $8,980 payment for Spalding Park court resurfacing
Summary
The finance committee approved a final payment of $8,980 to Tarkett Sports Construction Central LLC for the Spalding Park court resurfacing project (Project No. 2025004). Staff described resurfacing work on multiple tennis and pickleball courts and recommended payment; a councilor asked about ongoing maintenance.
The City of Muskogee finance committee approved a final payment of $8,980 to Tarkett Sports Construction Central LLC for the Spalding Park Pickleball and court resurfacing project (Project No. 2025004).
City parks staff told the committee the work included preparing and resurfacing courts, power washing and crack sealing. A staff presenter identified the completed work as resurfacing tennis and pickleball courts and recommended approval of the final payment.
The item matters because resurfaced courts affect public recreation access and future maintenance costs. Committee members asked whether the newly resurfaced courts and adjacent courts will receive routine upkeep; staff said ongoing maintenance is Parks and Recreation’s responsibility and that future maintenance plans were not known at the hearing.
During discussion, Councilor Tracy Hoose asked, “The 6 courts that did get resurfaced, is there any plan for maintenance on those?” Parks staff responded that maintenance planning is Parks and Recreation’s responsibility and that no future maintenance plan was specified in the presentation. The committee moved, seconded and approved the final payment by roll call with all members voting yes.
The payment closes the project’s contract-level obligation for this invoice; the city record indicates staff recommended approval and the council approved the item. Future maintenance scheduling and budgets for other nearby courts were not specified at the meeting.
