Village considers using $50,000 county park funds and local match to repair tennis courts
Summary
Staff reported the village received $50,000 in park-related funding from Brown County and proposed matching it with village funds and coordinating with the local school to complete tennis-court renovations; council asked for timeline details before deciding.
The council discussed a potential plan to repair village tennis courts after staff reported $50,000 in park-related funding had become available from Brown County. "We did not get what we had asked for, but we did get 50,000," Travis said, describing the county contact and the subsequent offer.
Travis suggested the village could match the $50,000 and work jointly with the local school, where the school could take the immediate lead on construction and the village would later take ownership. He said the village had previously engineered the tennis-court design and that matching funds could allow a quicker start, but he did not provide a timeline or a final funding agreement during the meeting.
Why it matters: the proposal would use county-allocated park funds to address local recreational infrastructure and may require intergovernmental coordination with the school district and a village funding match.
Council direction and next steps: council members asked staff to gather more information about timelines and the mechanics of matching and ownership transfer. No formal motion or funding appropriation was made at the meeting.
This discussion took place during the roundtable update.
