Council presses for quick resolution on pickleball surfacing options as spring season approaches
Summary
Council discussed two surfacing options for planned pickleball courts after an on‑site visit; staff will ask the supplier technical questions next week and, if supplier options prove unsuitable, will revisit replacement and timing with the contractor.
Council discussed the status of proposed pickleball courts after several members and staff visited demonstration sites. Staff said there were two surfacing options — an indoor surface (ruled out) and an outdoor surface — and described a forthcoming call with the supplier to ask technical questions about the outdoor product.
Members who viewed veteran courts urged the city to seek a similar standard and quality. Staff said they expected to have an answer from the supplier by next week; if the supplier is a nonstarter, staff will reconvene with the contractor to evaluate replacement options and consider timing tradeoffs for spring and summer availability.
Councilors expressed concern about losing time if the surfacing decision is delayed but staff argued that taking additional time could secure a longer‑lasting solution. No formal decision or vote was recorded; staff will follow up with supplier responses and next steps.
