TO PROVIDE PICKLEBALL MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS SERVICES FOR AN INDOOR PICKLEBALL FACILITY WITHIN THE VILLAGE-OWNED VACANT PARCEL (FOLIO NO. 33-5033-000-0862); PROVIDING THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WITH THE AUTHORITY TO SELECT BETWEEN TWO OPTIONS PRESENTED IN THE PROPOSAL AND AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SELECTED OPTION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Sponsored by Administration and Prepared by Procurement Specialist, Alessia Bencomo)
I fully support Council vote to approve one of the bids submitted for the proposed indoor pickleball court.
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and its appeal crosses generations—it brings people together for fun, fitness, and community. An indoor facility would be a fantastic addition to our village, offering year-round access, especially during our sweltering summer and rainy months when outdoor courts go unused.
This is more than just a sports facility—it’s an investment in public health, social connection, and inclusive recreation. Indoor courts would give seniors a safe space to stay active, offer younger families a fun outlet, and foster community engagement across age groups.
I urge the Council to approve building this project as soon as possible. It supports wellness, fosters community spirit, and meets the growing demand for recreational spaces in our village.
Thank you for considering this important addition to our community.
Focus first on restructuring the proposal in 14E as a ground lease with the Village as lessor in a triple-net lease.
