Tennis Center/Pickleball Expansion on Hold
Summary
All seven construction bids came in at $5.5 million or more against a $3.5 million estimate, so the Commission rejected them and sent the project back for a cheaper redesign. Shuffleboard players who share the site are asking that their courts survive any new plan.

Impact analysis
Bids ran nearly $2 million over the $3.5 million estimate, driving the redesign.
Taxpayers avoid a nearly $2 million cost overrun for now; tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard users keep the existing facility.
Players who wanted the expansion wait longer, and the facility's needs may grow before it's addressed.
