SUBJECT: Flora Park Tennis Court Resurfacing
DATE: September 30, 2025
Parks and Recreation Director Matthew Kalcevich is recommending approval of Flora
Park Tennis Court Resurfacing Projects that are not currently included in the Fiscal
Year 2026 budget.
There are five tennis courts at Flora Park. Community members have expressed their
interest in having the tennis courts resurfaced. In 2024, Parks and Recreations staff
contracted out the resurfacing of the volleyball/pickleball courts at Flora Park. The cost
estimates to resurface the tennis courts, including new poles and nets, is $152,000.
The additional funding needed of $152,000 for Flora Park Tennis Court Resurfacing
projects would be provided from Fiscal Year 2025 general fund savings. The Flora Park
Tennis Court Resurfacing projects are included in Fiscal Year 2026 first budget
amendment that will be considered by City Council at a future public hearing.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
