Council hears plan to expand Glen pickleball courts from four to six; $28,000 additional cost identified
Summary
Engineering recommended increasing Glen Park courts from four to six at an estimated total project cost of $67,000. Finance staff identified old capital funds to cover the additional $28,000; council members expressed support and expected a formal resolution for contract award to Sports Tech Acrylics via Sourcewell.
The council reviewed a revised Parks and Recreation recommendation on July 2 to add two courts to the Glen pickleball facility, increasing the footprint from four to six courts.
Nancy (Parks & Recreation) presented an updated estimate that moving from four to six courts would increase the project cost to a total of $67,000, representing an additional $28,000 above the amount previously approved by the governing body. She said the finance department identified old capital accounts to fund the difference and recommended revising the award to Sports Tech Acrylics of Brewster, N.Y., through the Sourcewell cooperative contract; the resolution would rescind and replace resolution 25-158.
Council discussion and rationale: Councilman Mortimer said the expansion "comes at the perfect time" to serve resident demand as pickleball popularity increases. The mayor clarified the net additional cost to taxpayers was the $28,000 incremental amount, not the full $67,000 contract figure, noting the larger portion included resurfacing previously approved.
Next steps: Council members indicated support and expected a formal award of contract language and a resolution on the consent agenda at the next public meeting. No final contract award or payment authorization was recorded in the July 2 meeting minutes.
