affect the amount of votes needed to pass that ordinance. I do not object to leaving it on the
second reading.

This ordinance was left on the Second Reading.
New Business:
United States Tennis Association: A resolution authorizing acceptance of renovation services
to tennis courts at Wilson Park by the United States Tennis Association as part of its Two Court
Renovation Grant Program at no cost to the City of Fayetteville.
Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director gave a brief description of the resolution.
Alderman Gray: I am very happy that we are doing this. Anything we can do to encourage our
children in sports takes care of lots of problems. The earlier we can start the better.
Alderman Lewis: What is the cost of a brand new court?
Connie Edmonston: It's somewhere around $40,000 to $50,000 at least. We did have some
concerns from citizens at the Parks Board meeting and we have some of the members here if you
have any questions for them.
Alderman Tennant: The comments I received were that there will be fencing around this court
that will inhibit the play on the adult court next to it. My concern is are we trying too hard to do
the right thing and then we are going to end up taking too much away on the other side?
Chase Gipson, Recreation Superintendent stated we addressed that last week. With the youth
courts you do not have to give as much length on the base lines and so that fence will be shifted
and will not split right down the middle. It will be offset about four feet to the east side.
Alderman Tennant: So you won't need the space on the side.
Chase Gipson: Right.
Alderman Tennant: Okay, good, thank you very much.
Alderman Ferrell: There have been people coming to the Council over the years asking if we
could have more adult tennis courts. In the process of planning, how do you assess where the
parks are going to go? How do you weigh the wants of different parts of the community?

Chase Gipson: It just depends on the situation. We do a lot of public input meetings. Every
year when we do our outdoor recreation grant we take public input at that meeting. When we
talked about the regional park people were overwhelmingly in favor of a group of 6 to 8 courts
together rather than having smaller complexes spread out throughout the community. That is
why the regional park made the most sense.
Bill Ward, a citizen stated there is a current need for adult tennis courts. He went on to express
his concerns.
Alderman Ferrell: Do you know Alan Beauchamp?
Bill Ward: Sure.
Alderman Ferrell: Do you know if he has an opinion on this?
Bill Ward: I talked to him at the park one time in passing and he knows we need courts in this
town.
Jennifer Lee, a citizen spoke on the importance of youth courts in Fayetteville.
Kennedy Lee,who is 10 years old, stated why she preferred youth courts.
McKenzie Lee, who is 7 years old, stated she liked the smaller tennis courts better because she
can play a full game.
Paul Williams stated if promoting youth tennis is a policy goal then we need to look at all the
ways that we can go about doing this. He encouraged everyone to see what our options really
are because we do not know what will really be gained here.
Alderman Ferrell: You had inquired about who would provide instruction and have not
received a response.
Paul Williams: No one has been able to tell me.
Alderman Ferrell: Can anyone tell us who is going to provide the instruction for the childs
tennis?
Chase Gipson: We are not setting the courts up to have instructors come in and charge fees for
organized instruction. There will be organized programming there to bring kids in but the point
is that you create somewhere that kids can come and play on their own and have an opportunity
to play.
Paul Williams: So there is no provision for any instruction.
Chase Gipson: We currently do not have plans but we do have plans to provide programming
there.

Phillip Watson, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member stated I am available for any
questions on how the board came to the conclusion that we came to of approving this. This
seems to be a good fit because it's in Wilson Park and gives access to most of Fayetteville for the
children to come and play.
Alderman Tennant: Did you or anybody get any feed back from any elementary schools and
their P.E. teachers on whether this was something good or not? I asked a P.E. teacher and they
said anytime you have courts, for kids to play tennis, they will probably play tennis. Does
anyone from the schools have any input?
Phillip Watson: Not with me directly. That was brought up. There were some requests for
courts for that age bracket.
Chase Gipson: I haven't spoken with any P.E. teachers but we have over 2,000 youth
participants in our programs and have heard overwhelmingly from the majority of them that this
will be a wonderful thing.
Alderman Lewis: Is there any numbers on the use of our courts?
Phillip Watson: The high school is reserving those courts from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. most
afternoons and once they are gone that will open up a lot of space.
Chase Gipson: We did two separate surveys and those numbers show that it's rare that all six
of those courts are full. There is more use late in the evening but it's not that often that you find
all six of them full. We are not denying that there is a need for more courts for adults. We think
this is a great opportunity and a great time for this to take place.
Alderman Kinion: What were the dates again?
Chase Gipson gave the dates of the surveys.
Alderman Kinion: I think this is a general idea but I do not think that the variables are valid that
we are looking at. The need is there for more courts. A tot of towns have modular courts that
seem to be more affordable for youth tennis programs. I think there is a valid concern that this
might be a sacrifice and that it's not a balance with what we are getting in our current Parks and
Recreation program. Using numbers from June to July is probably the most inappropriate time
to look at activity in the park because the pool is open at this time and other programs.
Chase Gipson: This grant is just for renovation that includes permanent youth courts. With the
modular courts someone has to be there and set them up and oversee everything that is
happening.
Alderman Kinion: There is no doubt that we have the need. I can't validate the sacrifice when
I am looking at the variables that we are currently using in our parks at this time. I see on a
personal level people waiting to get onto the courts.
