MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />July 7, 1994 <br />those courts were resurfaced four years ago. The contractor <br />indicated that he would do the work for $2,750. Of that <br />amount, $1,750 was paid to the contractor and $1,000 was <br />held back to make sure the job was done in a satisfactory <br />manner. When the problems with the court started to <br />surface, the contractor did not want to come back to repair <br />the court and therefore lost the $1,000. Wehrle felt that <br />the problem with the contractor was old news and the City <br />should consider what should be done now. <br />Wehrle asked if there was any money available to repair the <br />courts. Greger stated that the courts are scheduled to be <br />repaired in 1995 at a cost of $7,500. The Director stated <br />that the City Administrator felt there would be money <br />available this year to perform the work. <br />Wehrle stated that he has looked at the courts and has <br />noticed some bad spots, but they are not as bad as other <br />courts he has seen. The Director commented that a tennis <br />tournament in conjunction with Canadian Days has been <br />scheduled at the courts. <br />Remerowski indicated that he has also looked at the courts <br />and felt they were not bad. Greger stated that he talked to <br />some people using the courts and they felt it was fine for <br />playing this year. However, it could be swept periodically. <br />Greger did not see a need to resurface the courts this year. <br />The Director stated that the biggest problem with the courts <br />is not with cracks, but with the color coating. Wehrle felt <br />that the courts were operational for this year. The <br />Director agreed, but stated that money may be available now <br />without touching the Parks and Recreation budget. <br />Remerowski felt that the money available should be spent on <br />an item with a higher priority. Wehrle agreed stating that <br />re-roofing of the shelters at Spooner Park was a higher <br />priority. <br />Wehrle recommended that rather than resurfacing the tennis <br />courts at Spooner Park at this time, if there is money <br />available in 1994, it should be used on 1994 priorities <br />which include paving of the Westwind trail, paving of the <br />Pioneer Park trail, and re-roofing of the band shell at <br />Spooner Park. <br />Motion seconded by Hartmann. <br />Motion carried 6 - 0. <br />Holm felt that a response should be sent to the people who <br />submitted the petition. Wehrle stated that he would send a <br />letter informing them of the Commission's recommendation. <br />-4- <br />
