Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – November 19, 2024 Page 12 <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked if this is something we want to add to the goals list and we can have further <br />discussion around the ideas brought up tonight. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson said it should be added to the goals. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson said the only thing we can agree on is native non-invasive species <br />are the only thing allowed. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson said we could give that to the Council and then they could offer <br />more clarity on additional steps. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau can bring that back to Council. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked about the other items on the list. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson listened to part of the TCAAP meeting. There was discussion that <br />there would be dedicated pickle ball areas. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said it was discussed that they would install pickle ball courts <br />rather than tennis courts. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding how popular pickle ball is but that it could be a trend that could be <br />gone in ten years. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson said the item should remain on there for when the future park <br />discussions happen. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said two tennis courts are being converted to six pickle ball <br />courts. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked if they can be used for both pickle ball or tennis. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said just pickle ball. The City doesn’t currently have a dedicated <br />pickle ball court. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson thought it was interesting from the meeting, one gentleman said there <br />was a huge concern about noise violations. He said when a court is converted for pickle ball it <br />should be a certain distance away from residential areas. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said there is screening available but that’s probably not <br />something we’ll do. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz said with the density expected in that area there will be people right <br />on top of each other and it’s loud. It’s not just the sound of the ball. The people get loud. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding when to bring the 2025 Work Goals to Council and a recap of work <br />completed in 2024. <br />
