Tennis Court Windscreens and AED Request

The meeting began with a public comment from a local tennis and pickleball player, Mike, who raised concerns about the windscreen installation dates on the tennis courts. Traditionally, the windscreens are put up around June 1st and taken down around September 15th, but Mike requested extending this period from mid-May to mid-September to accommodate the growing popularity of pickleball. Kirk, a city staff member, confirmed the current practice and expressed willingness to adjust the dates if needed. However, the committee decided to table this discussion for the next meeting.

Mike also requested the installation of windscreens on the Second Street court, citing budgetary considerations. He highlighted the high usage of the courts, especially with the rise in pickleball's popularity. Randy Neal, another tennis and pickleball player, joined via Zoom to support the request and emphasized the importance of having an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) near the courts, given the high number of elderly players. Both Mike and Randy underscored the life-saving potential of an AED, especially during the busy summer months.
