be necessary. He stated that the court maintenance would have a cost of $28,028 along with an <br />additional expense of $16,939 for the creation of the pickleball courts. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett recognized the increased popularity of pickleball and stated that the courts that have <br />been converted are well used. He agreed that it would make sense to complete the conversation at <br />this time when completing the maintenance in order to create dedicated courts. <br /> <br />Commissioner Leistico asked if there are other pickleball courts in the parks. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood confirmed that this is the only location <br />at this time. He noted that they can continue to look at options for conversion in other parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Leistico commented that this seems to make sense and follow the demand in use. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sis asked if this maintenance activity was included in the budget and whether the <br />conversion would be an additional expense. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood explained that the maintenance would <br />be funded through the Capital Maintenance Fund while the conversion would be funded through <br />the Park Trust Fund as that is essentially a new park improvement. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Barten, seconded by Commissioner Sis, to recommend to City Council, <br />the reconditioning of courts at Central Park in the amount of $28,028 to be funded by the Capital <br />Maintenance Fund, and adding 6 pickleball courts at the park for $16,939 with proceeds from the <br />Park Trust Fund. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Commissioner Barten aye <br />Chair Bennett aye <br />Commissioner Guck aye <br />Commissioner Leistico aye <br />Commissioner Loss aye <br />Commissioner Sis aye <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />6.
