Pickleball club president criticizes management of Tanner Creek covered‑court project
Summary
Tom Meyer, president of the West Linn Pickleball Club, criticized city management of the covered pickleball structure project at Tanner Creek Park, said the project was delayed and that communication was poor, and said he has a petition seeking removal of project manager Mr. Williams.
Tom Meyer, identified himself to the council: "I am Tom Meyer, and I am the president of the Westland Pickleball Club and the vice president of the newly resurrected Parker Press Neighborhood Association," and told the council he believes the city manager (referred to as Mr. Williams) mishandled management of the Tanner Creek covered pickleball structure project (project code BD/DB 1809).
Meyer told the council "He dropped the ball," described removal of two courts and a lack of decibel testing or outreach, and said the pickleball community has circulated a petition calling for changes. The mayor reminded Meyer he had three minutes and suggested he submit written comments to the public input portal established for the city manager evaluation; staff also invited Meyer to file full comments through the evaluation public comment period that begins Aug. 5.
Meyer said he would return for additional comment at a later meeting; council thanked him for his time and suggested staff would review his written submissions.
