Council reviews pickleball court groundwork; city crews to remove vegetation
Summary
Council members heard that contractor will install road base for a pickleball court and that city crews will remove vegetation and cap any sprinkler systems; members discussed an early April start to be ready for the city's celebration.
At the Jan. 27 work session the council discussed preparations for a planned pickleball court. City staff reported that the contractor will place and grade road base and that city crews can remove vegetation and handle any sprinkler caps.
Chris (speaker 2) said removing the grass and vegetation is a task city equipment and crews can handle using a skid steer and hauling debris away, but cautioned crews to avoid excavating more than the existing 4 inches of road base. Members discussed weather and frost concerns, and the chair noted that if the ground is frozen or too wet the timeline could slip; staff estimated the build could take about a week to 10 days once conditions allow.
Why it matters: the project is part of a planned celebration date and uses city crew time; members requested follow-up on scheduling and coordination with the contractor.
Next steps: staff will continue coordination with the contractor, prepare for an early April start if ground conditions permit, and report back at the next meeting.
