Boyle County signs design contracts for pickleball courts and Millennium Park master plan
Summary
The Fiscal Court authorized the judge to sign design contracts with JRA Architects to plan new pickleball courts and to develop a Millennium Park master plan, with the city agreeing to pay half of the park master plan cost. Both contracts include a fee described in the meeting as 15% of project cost.
The Boyle County Fiscal Court authorized two contracts with JRA Architects at its Nov. 10 meeting: one to design new pickleball courts and another to prepare a master plan for Millennium Park. County staff said the design fee in both contracts is 15% of the project cost as presented during the meeting.
On the Millennium Park master plan, staff said the city will pay half of the master-plan cost while the county would sign the contract and handle execution. "This is to redesign that area where pickleball's going," staff said during the discussion; the clerk confirmed the judge would have signature authority for the agreements.
Magistrates moved and seconded the motions; both contracts were approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The contracts set in motion design work for park infrastructure and recreational facilities that will guide construction and budgeting decisions. The county’s decision to sign and the city’s commitment to pay half of the park plan spread costs across local governments.
What happens next: County staff will finalize contract signatures and coordinate with city counterparts on cost sharing and project scope; design and planning work proceeds according to the contracts.
