Commission recommends signage to keep Pleasant View courts quiet until 7:30 a.m.
Summary
After residents complained about very early court play, the Parks Commission voted to recommend signage that would set Pleasant View pickleball and tennis courts to open at 7:30 a.m. to reduce disturbance to nearby homes.
A resident raised complaints about players using tennis and pickleball courts as early as 5:30 a.m., urging the commission to restrict early play. Commissioners debated whether a systemwide change was appropriate and whether enforcement should fall to police or be handled administratively; many favored a targeted approach for courts near residences.
Commissioner (mover) proposed a recommendation to the city council to install signage at Pleasant View specifying court hours and restricting play before 7:30 a.m.; the motion was seconded and carried with one member recorded as abstaining. In proposing the motion, the mover initially suggested 7:00 a.m. but commissioners settled on 07:30. “I moved to... make a recommendation to council for signage at Pleasant View Courts, that they open at 7AM,” one commissioner stated during the motion discussion; the motion was amended on the floor to set the start time at 07:30 a.m. Staff said installing signage could be handled by the parks department budget if funds are available; otherwise the commission could route the recommendation through council for funding and ordinance adjustments.
The commission directed staff to prepare the recommendation for council and to return with final wording and sign placement plans at a future meeting.
