Commissioner Brown asked about usage of the tennis courts in the evening. Chair Hoag relayed that on summer evenings either one or both of the tennis courts near his home are always being utilized. Commissioner Arneson suggested possibly utilizing some of the industrial areas of the community for pickleball as that would solve the acoustic and lighting concerns. The Commission discussed other potential locations that would work for pickleball. As well as options to test acoustic decibel levels utilizing different parameters such as varied paddle construction or ball materials. Commissioner Ybarra commented on the importance of completing the Fairview tennis courts before transitioning Evergreen Park to pickleball. This will make sure that the tennis players are not displaced during the transition, which will help to ensure a more harmonious transition for both pickleball and tennis players. Commissioner Baggenstoss motioned to recommend moving forward with pursuing the plan as presented with the possible addition of lights being considered at the Fairview tennis courts. Seconded by Commissioner Arneson. Roll Call Ayes: Arneson, Baggenstoss, Boulton, Brown, Dahlstrom, Heikkila, Hoag, and Ybarra. Nays: None.
