F'ollowing ! staff's : brief introduction of
the project, Director Anderson introduced
Dave Warxala and Barry Warner from Barton-
Aschmann who reviewed the plan in greater
detail includings
1. Th� lighting system on the tennis
courts. There was a discussion follow-
ing this issue centering around the
problem of the time clock with the
lights being left on as once they were
turned on. Nir. Warzala indicated that
it had been his experience that the
time clocks and coin meters were not
cost effective as vandalism was often
greater than the revenue received. In
addition we wauld be putting in metal
halide fixtures which are relatively
economical to run. The lights were
presently scheduled to shut off at
11:00 p.m., but if that was a problem,
Mr. Warzala indicated that the timer
could be reset.
2. The cost estimates were reviewed regard-
ing the addition of the hard court area
north of the tennis courts. It was not-
,_ ed in the cos� estimates that we were
still within budget with t�ie addition of
the hard court surface area.
��
3. The need to remove existir►g trees was
discussed and staff indicated that City
Forester Wriskey has been informed of
this issue and that it would be complet-
ed in ltouse.
Following the report of the consultants, a
motion was made by Commissioner Silvis, se-
conded by Commissioner Long to recommend that
