5 <br /> <br />Commissioner Justin felt that Silver Oak residents would be surprised if <br />Pickleball were put there because they had indicated through a survey that <br />they wanted to keep the tennis court. If the Hidden Oaks courts were just <br />converted to pickleball courts using the cheapest means, we could test that <br />site with 4 courts to see if the demand is there and then if it is, in 2022, you <br />could do the full restoration and make the 6 courts there. Hesitate to go <br />$205,000 to find out in a few years that it is not being used. <br /> <br />Assistant Director Jason Hicks stated we could purchase portable nets on <br />wheels and spend about $100 each but if you recall, the pickleball <br />enthusiasts did not want to go that route. They much preferred the <br />permanent nets. <br /> <br />MOTION BY COMMISSIONER JUSTIN, SECONDED BY <br />COMMISSIONER EISCHEN, TO ASK STAFF TO RECEIVE COST <br />ESTIMATES ON TWO OPTIONS AT THE HIDDEN OAKS LOCATION. <br />OPTION A TO RETROFIT THE EXISTING SURFACE TO HAVE <br />PERMANENT PICKLEBALL COURTS WITH PERMANENT NETS AND <br />LINES AND OPTION B DOING PERMANENT LINES BUT USING <br />TEMPORARY NETS. MOTION CARRIED. <br /> <br />MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRUNELL, SECONDED BY <br />COMMISSIONER MCEATHERON, TO RECEIVE COST ESTIMATES FOR <br />A TENNIS COURT WITH PORTABLE NETS FOR PICKLEBALL AND <br />ALSO A COST ESTIMATE FOR PERMANENT PICKLEBALL COURTS AT <br />SILVER OAKS. MOTION CARRIED. <br /> <br />Commissioner Justin stated he has a concern because this has already <br />been addressed with the neighborhood and the recommendation was to <br />keep the tennis court at Silver Oaks. There was some interest from <br />pickleball folks but tennis was the recommendation. So the neighborhood <br />should be notified if there will not be a tennis court there because that is <br />what they are expecting. He is not adverse to receiving a cost estimate. If a <br />pickleball court is going to go in, then it should be addressed with the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Commissioner Parker commented that if that area does not get used for <br />the purpose of tennis or pickleball, that perhaps it could be used for roller <br />hockey for 2 on 2 play. The dimensions for roller hockey would be pretty <br />similar to tennis. <br /> <br />VII. Announcements <br />A. Council Report – Council Member Burg <br />There was a work session about Pickleball. That discussion was very <br />important. <br /> Last night honored Stockyard Days volunteers, they bring in about <br />15,000 people during that celebration. Planning now for the next one in <br />August. <br /> Taking applications now for all Commissions. Thanked Mary Kunesh- <br />Podein and Adam Parker who have served and do not plan to be back.
