Council asks staff to consult HOA about adding handrails at tennis‑court steps
Summary
After public support for railings at the new tennis‑court paver steps, council directed staff to consult the Rolling Hills Community Association for 30 days about adding handrails; if the association won't provide them, staff will return with cost and procurement options.
Councilmembers agreed to ask staff to contact the Rolling Hills Community Association about installing handrails at two spots near the new tennis‑court entries and drop‑offs and to report back within approximately 30 days. Staff provided a draft non‑prevailing‑wage estimate to give councils a ballpark, and explained that a city project would require prevailing wage procurement.
Several residents, including Melissa McNabb, urged handrails for safety. "I just like to voice my strong support for adding railings in the area noted on the stairs," she said during public comment, noting many people use the stairs instead of the accessible ramp. Council members discussed timing and whether association funds or a city project should pay for the rails; the council directed staff to try association cooperation first and return with options if the association declines.
