Since that time, the City of <br />Arden Hills has had the luxury of utilizing the courts every spring and summer for lessons and <br />team tennis leagues. Due to our relationship with the district, we have received priority for court <br />time, second only to the schoo] temlis teams.

The courts have severe craeks that cannot be resolved with rcsurfacing; therefore, they <br />will be completely reconstructed. The estimated cost will be approximately $140,000. <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br />Thc City has enjoyed a wonderful relationship with School District 621 regarding the tennis <br />courts at Mounds View High School. Staff is asking the City Council to considcr allocating <br />funds in the 2007 budget to support the impending high school court reconstruetion. Our spring <br />programs utilize 1-3 courts for lessons on Saturday mornings from April through June, for <br />approximately 4 hours a week.
