Summary

Staff updated the council on a ribbon-cutting for a 'Deep' open house, reported a contractor minor accident that has been fixed, and discussed whether tennis courts will be kept open to the public while giving the school first priority for practice and matches.

Staff told the council that the ribbon-cutting for the new facility will be held soon and that a minor construction accident (a contractor striking a fence) has been repaired; staff asked council members to attend when possible.

The council discussed management of six new tennis courts: the school will have first priority for practices and matches, but the courts are also to remain open for public use with signage and schedule rules to prevent conflicts. "We don't want 6 beautiful tennis courts that are open till 05:00 every day and then nobody can use them when they're off work or out of school," staff (S2) said, and members agreed that operational rules for locking and signage should be developed before the facility opens for general use.

Staff also noted that lighting on the county-owned side is not currently in place and that agreements with the county over maintenance and access will guide final operations.
