Board postpones golf maintenance section; Westwood tennis reports rising participation and revenue
Summary
The Board voted to postpone the golf maintenance portion of an annual facilities report and then heard a Westwood facility presentation showing increased tournament activity and higher revenue turned into the city from $9,500 in 2024 to $12,860 in 2025, plus program growth and court resurfacing plans.
During the annual facilities report, the Board approved a motion to postpone the golf maintenance portion of the Westwood golf and maintenance annual report; the tennis portion of the report proceeded.
The tennis presentation described Westwood’s program activity and revenue. A presenter for Westwood said the facility hosted 11 tournaments in 2025 that drew approximately 900 youth participants, reported court resurfacing completed across all 12 courts and noted a revenue figure of $12,860 remitted to the city in 2025, up from $9,500 the prior year.
"We hosted 11 tournaments in 2025," the presenter said, adding that tournaments, league play and junior programs are major drivers of facility usage and regional participation. He also described junior academy fees (about $95 for an eight-day clinic) and confirmed scholarship accommodations are available when requested.
The presenter and commissioners discussed the rise of pickleball and how reallocating courts can affect a facility’s ability to bid on tennis tournaments; staff emphasized balancing tennis programming and temporary indoor pickleball play while maintaining tournament capability.
Action taken: the Board postponed the golf maintenance portion of the annual report by voice vote after a motion and second; the record shows the tennis report continued. No exact roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the item advanced by voice consent.
Next steps: tennis staff will continue programing, monitor demand for scholarships, and coordinate maintenance cycles for courts to preserve tournament eligibility.
