SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Provide direction regarding Parks & Recreation Board’s recommendation to install lights at the Morningside Recreation Center Tennis Courts.
Body
SUMMARY:
In 2010 the Morningside tennis courts were renovated, and the lights were removed. The removal of the tennis courts light was consistent with the policy at the time of only having five strategically located tennis facilities with lights for nighttime play.
It is the feeling of the Parks & Recreation Board that since the lights have been reactivated at all tennis courts, the Morningside tennis courts should have lights. This matter was discussed at the January 16, 2018 Parks & Recreation Board meeting and the motion to provide this recommendation to Council received a unanimous vote.
The Parks & Recreation Department projects a capital outlay cost of approximately $100,000 for the installation of the lights and a recurring monthly cost of $175 for electricity. The installation of the lights and the monthly electrical fee have not been budgeted in the current fiscal year.
