Summary

Staff told the CRA that Swift Mud provided comments but they should not delay the pickleball court work; the contractor will resubmit plans and staff will relocate a pavilion and a water line needed for both pickleball and the splash pad.

Staff reported that work on the pickleball courts is moving forward and that recent comments from permitting agency Swift Mud should not delay the project. The contractor, Cool and Cob, plans to resubmit plans addressing agency comments, and staff said they will manage impervious‑area plan details internally.

As part of site prep, staff said it will remove one small pavilion temporarily and grind a stump, and public works will relocate a water line that will serve both the pickleball area and the splash pad. "Swift Mud came back with some comments, but I don't think that's gonna delay what we're doing," the staff member said. The board indicated support for proceeding while rebidding the splash‑pad RFP.
