7 <br />• <br />~v ~ <br />ate,&~ <br />MEMOR.ArTDUM <br />To: Laura. Blackmon, County Manager <br />From: Lori Tats Recreation and Parks Director <br />Re: Orange County Recreation and Parks Use of Orange High School Tennis Courts <br />Date: June 12, 2007 <br />In 1984, the County entered into a 20-year agreement for the use of the Temus Courts. The courts have <br />been open to the public since that time; after school bouts, on weekends and during school breaks. A renewal to <br />the agreement has recently been approved by the Orange County School Board and has been placed on the <br />agenda for consideration at the June 26 BOCC meeting. The agreement stipulates that Orange County <br />R.ecrea#ion and Parks provides access to the facility, pays for lighting, and is responsible for 50% of major <br />renovations and repairs to the tennis courts. Recently, tennis has increased in popularity and the Department of <br />Recreation and Parks has provided lessons to more than 100 regishants is the past year at these courts. In <br />addition the community has had access to the courts and to the track for walking and general exercise, although <br />the track was not mentioned in the agreemen. The proposed renewal agreement extends for an additiona120 <br />years and also formalizes the use of the track for casual drop in walkers, without obligating Orange County to <br />additional future capital expenditures associated with the track. <br />Within the past few years, both Orange County Schools staff and Recreation and Pazks staff have <br />become increasingly concerned with the deteriorating condition of the eight courts. (See attached photos) <br />Initial estimates for resurfacing the courts were in the +/- $100,000 range. Orange County's share would have <br />been $50,000. It was later determined that resurfacing the courts would not be an effective method of repair <br />given the extent of the damage. Evidently, no tennis court contractor the School District representative <br />contacted would undertake a resurfacing job. <br /> <br />Estimates for complete replacement of the courts were provided to the School District last fall. They are <br />in the $300,000 to $350,000 range. With this in mind, Recreation and Pazks has provided the figure of <br />$150,000 to the budget office for our 50% portion of this project <br />Orange County Recreation and Parks has maintained a good relationship with Orange High School and <br />the School District relative to this particular issue. Other than the condition of the courts, there has been no <br />major concern or problem associated with the public's or the Recreation and Parks Department's use of the <br />tennis courts or track that we are aware of. <br />If I can provide further clarification on this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br />
