RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with Judson University for the resurfacing and use of their tennis courts in the amount of$26,000. BACKGROUND Up until two years ago Channing Park had six tennis courts. The Park was recently redeveloped, but due to neighborhood input and budget limitations, only two tennis courts were installed. Since that time, staff has received a number of complaints due to the reduction in courts. The complaints are two fold. First, that there are not enough tennis courts to meet the demand of tennis players. The City's total inventory of tennis courts is 16, which is signifcantly less than industry standards that would suggest a City with the population of Elgin should have 30 tennis courts. Second, there is no location with more then four courts, so it is difficult to run tennis programs,tournaments and leagues. Judson University has six tennis courts, but they are in need of resurfacing. Judson is willing to open them up to the public and City programmed use, if the City will pay for the resurfacing of the courts. The estimated cost for resurfacing is $26,000. As a point of comparison, the cost to build six new tennis courts is estimated to be approximately$210,000. Attached is an agreement drafted by the City's Legal Department. The term of the agreement extends through December 31, 2012. It requires the City to resurface the courts and Judson to make them available to the public. It gives the City programs priority use during the summer season and Judson programs priority use during spring and fall. When the courts are not in use by the City's or Judson's programs, they will be open to the general public for use. The courts Judson Tennis Court Agreement May 7, 2009 Page 2 are lit and Judson is responsible for paying all costs associated with the lighting of the courts, as well as all general court maintenance costs. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of resurfacing of the tennis courts shall not exceed $26,000. There are sufficient funds budgeted ($26,000) and available ($26,000) in the Park Development Fund, 340-0000-795.92- 32,project number 509831, "Tennis Court Improvements"to pay for the resurfacing. LEGAL IMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may choose to approve the agreement with Judson University for the resurfacing of and use of their tennis courts. 2. The City Council may choose not to approve the agreement with Judson University for the resurfacing of and use of their tennis courts. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration. rr attachment June 22, 2009 D E = M ri MEMORANDUM JUN 2 6 2009 TO: Diane Robertson, City Clerk By FROM: Daina DeNye, Assistant Purchasing Director SUBJECT: Executed Contracts for Judson Tennis Courts Improvements This contract was approved by City Council on June 10, 2009.
