Council flags early issues at busy pickleball courts; signage and parking restrictions discussed

Council members raised concerns about heavy recreational use at the new pickleball courts and recommended preemptive rules and signage to avoid conflicts. One council member urged proactive steps: "I think it's better to be proactive rather than reactive," and members discussed posting an hour‑limit sign, installing a paddle rack for shared use, and replacing older wooden bleachers with durable metal seating.

Staff said rules signage has been discussed and that ordering signs is an administrative procurement matter; the council also suggested restricting parking at the end of the basketball court to reduce overnight vehicle gatherings and loud stereos. No formal policy changes were made; council acknowledged that continued good behavior by users has kept the courts functional so far and asked staff to obtain signage options and cost estimates.
