193 September 9, 1975 The City Manager presented the following report: r "The specifications forlthe tennis::c6u~ts were d~a~rn~6m:~format~o~?~rn~h~d by the Recreation Department based on the design included intthe City's commitments to the'Park View Conservation Project. The specifications for the tennis courts included in the Park View Conservation Project call for concrete with a smooth, slick surface; however, we have verified a composition of the concrete with one of the local tennis court cont~actors~re- tative to an acrylic surface in the £uture. We were advised that the current design does not have enough slope and is too smoo~h £or acrylic surface to be applied. However, should the City desire this type of surface in the future, it could be prepared and the acrylic sur[ace applied at approximately the same cost. In other words, the minor preparation re- quired for the future application of acrylic surface would have a negligible cost." Motion of Mr. We~tz and seconded by Mr. Early, to adopt the ordinance.
