Retired resident offers to repair cracks on Gregory Park tennis courts; board tells him to coordinate with staff
Summary
Pete Bloomer, a retired teacher and resident, offered to repair 350–400 feet of cracks on Gregory Park tennis courts at no cost; the board thanked him and directed him to coordinate with city staff (Mike).
During public forum, resident Pete Bloomer introduced himself, gave his address and offered to work with parks staff to fill 350–400 feet of cracks in the Gregory Park tennis courts at his own time and expense.
"I'm a retired teacher and a businessman, and I play tennis with about 25 awesome seniors at Gregory Park," Bloomer said, and asked permission to work with staff (Mike) to fill the cracks without requiring city budget money. The chair told him to contact Mike and to work with staff, noting that staff would bring any necessary items forward to the board.
Board members thanked Bloomer for his offer and noted the community value of volunteer projects that improve park facilities. No formal action was taken; Bloomer was directed to coordinate with staff on implementation details.
