City of Centerville <br />Park and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br />November 3, 2024 <br />tennis and table tennis reaching playability of both young and old. He stated that Centerville has <br />added one court at the tennis court in Eagle Park. He also stated that it would be expensive if we <br />had to add courts, concrete, purchase land,etc. for additional courts. He suggested utilizing the <br />existing hockey rink, by having striping and nets on the sides of the existing basketball court <br />Administrator Statz reviewed the 3 options that were provided in the packet along with the cost. <br /> <br />A lengthy discussion ensued. <br />Administrator Statz stated that staff is recommending the purchase of 4 nets and the striping of 4 <br />pickleball courts, a cost not to exceed $5,500. He also recommended the purchase of one court’s <br />worth of a Pickle Roll or a temporary surfacing to test how well it performs, how much effort it <br />takes to install and reinstall. The cost of this purchase would be $13,500. After receiving feedback <br />from the public on the two different court surfaces (bare concrete and the Pickle Roll), the <br />committee could evaluate whether further investment in temporary surfaces should be made. <br /> <br />A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the cost; how many people would use the courts, what <br />material would work best (acrylic paint, pickleball roll). <br /> <br />Motion by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Freiermuth, to <br />Recommend to Council a motion not exceed $20,000.00 for stripping of 3 Pickball courts in <br />the hockey rink and to purchase pickleball roll. All in favor. Motion carries. <br />4. D. Love Suggestion for Local Business Sponsorship of Parks <br />It was felt that Sponsorships of parks would need additional research prior to successful <br />implementation and that reaching out to other communities that have similar programs would be <br />beneficial before such decision could be made and that it would provide insight and valuable <br />information for considering such an option. <br /> <br />Motion by Chair Erickson-Grahek, seconded by Committee Member Akpan, to work with <br />the EDA to explore options for such a program. All in favor. Motion carries. <br />5. Forest Lake YMCA Request for Sponsorship/Donation <br />It was stated that the previous year the citydonated $500, $250 from P & R and $250 from the <br />city.
