Summary
The board authorized staff to put tennis-court resurfacing out to bid and directed the CFO to prepare a budget amendment drawing from the district fund balance; members discussed timing (spring work window) and temporary repairs already paid ($10,000).
Board members authorized staff to solicit bids for resurfacing the tennis courts at Martin Elementary and agreed to pursue the funding pathway outlined by the chief financial officer, which would rely on a budget amendment and use of the district fund balance.
During discussion the Director said one quote came in under $25,000 and that resurfacing is likely to cost around $100,000 or more districtwide, so the project would likely require a fund-balance appropriation. The director also noted a $10,000 temporary repair already made to keep courts playable through winter and said contractors typically will not do resurfacing in freezing months; the board directed staff to structure contracts with a spring start date to avoid weather-related delays.
The CFO said he had prepared a budget amendment and would take it to the budget committee and county commission as required. The board approved the motion to put the work out to bid at an appropriate time and to proceed with the funding amendment process.
