Councilman Lewandowski urges city-hosted youth sports over MotoSurf events; Knight presses for contingency funds
Summary
Councilman Dan Lewandowski said MotoSurf and Pro WaterCross do not meet the goal of holding youth sporting events and recommended city-hosted basketball, tennis, beach volleyball or pickleball tied to court ribbon-cuttings; Councilman Ryan Knight asked staff to build contingency funds (a 'rainy day' fund) into budgeting.
Councilman Dan Lewandowski told the board he disagrees with staff’s assessment that events such as MotoSurf and Pro WaterCross satisfy the CRP task to "Hold Some Youth Sporting Events." Lewandowski said the city should host youth tournaments—basketball, tennis, beach volleyball, or pickleball—and suggested tying events to ribbon-cutting ceremonies for refurbished courts.
Separately, Councilman Ryan Knight urged that staff build contingency funds into the budgeting process, describing the idea as a potential "rainy day" fund. Knight also reviewed the prior 2015 CRP project spreadsheet and identified specific project numbers he supports, opposed, or remains unsure about, giving staff direction about which items to advance.
