CC Regular Session 4.5. Meeting Date: 07/26/2016 Submitted For: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works By: Mark Riverblood,Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Authorize the Reconditioning of Tennis Courts at Rivers' Bend Park Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to approve the reconditioning of 4 (four)tennis courts at Rivers' Bend Park; and also note that the entrance monument at the park will need to be replaced in the near future. Both improvements were initially installed with the park's creation in the later part of the 1980's. The tennis courts have been refurbished several times over the years, and the cedar wood-beam monument has also been repainted and'patched-up'with concrete a few years ago. Notification: No notifications are required,but several of the twice-weekly tennis court users had been apprised that this case was scheduled to be heard at the regular July, 2016 Park and Recreation Commission meeting for a recommendation to City Council. One non-resident was at the meeting advocating for the repairs, and several people submitted e-mails requesting the same. Observations/Alternatives: TennisCourts Park and Recreation intern,Nathan Greenwald collected information on costs and options on the tennis courts,and presented his findings to the Commission. It was determined that the best option was for a complete reconditioning of the tennis courts with the ArmorTM crack repair system,utilizing the contractor with the lowest quote. (Surface Pro of Anoka,Minnesota.)It is believed that the tennis courts could be reconditioned before the end of August, (they would be unavailable for a few work days while under construction). Park Monument/Sign As for the monument replacement, staff will be organizing options and costs. At the same time, staff is investigating city-wide way-fording signage and developing iconic signage methods relative to Ramsey's brand. The monument replacement should be considered within this process, anticipated to occur over the next months. Funding Source: For the tennis court resurfacing,the recommended funding source is the Capital Maintenance Fund, formally known as `Park Maintenance Fund ' which has a present balance of approximately$366,000. Recommendation:
