Beaman council approves conversion of tennis court into three pickleball courts with $22,000 in local option sales tax funding
Summary
The council approved converting the existing tennis court into three pickleball courts and adding a basketball hoop, authorizing $22,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds toward an estimated $59,338 project to expand the court six feet north, resurface, and add new fencing.
The Beaman City Council voted Jan. 8 to renovate the current tennis court into three pickleball courts and add a basketball hoop.
On a motion by Council Member Brandon Schleisman, seconded by Rhonda Rego, the council approved the project unanimously. The council authorized $22,000 from Local Option Sales Tax funds and indicated that other funds raised would be used to cover the estimated $59,338 cost of the improvements. The planned work includes expanding the court six feet to the north, resurfacing the playing surface and installing new fencing.
The motion recorded in the minutes specifies funding sources as $22,000 from Local Option Sales Tax and "other funds raised" to make up the remainder of the estimated cost. The council did not record a construction schedule or contractor selection at this meeting; Council Member Jason Scafferi later said he would obtain a contractor breakdown for a separate Memorial Building repair item.
