PPLAB member Gene Kutscher spoke on <br />issues currently being evaluated by the existing Outdoor Amenities Board: <br />o A community desire for a fifth tennis court at Centennial Park, which must meet <br />USTA qualified, City Council has deferred decision on this expenditure to date. <br />o A past Boulder Daily Camera article cited an intergovernmental agreement <br />between Louisville, Lafayette and unincorporated Boulder County to develop <br />joint -use sports activity fields, wherein Louisville agreed to build and has built <br />baseball fields for joint usage, and Lafayette agreed to build adjacent <br />multipurpose fields. Boulder has removed existing tennis courts for the <br />University of Colorado South Campus expansion and has modified some other <br />Tennis Courts for Pickle Ball, thus removing these tennis courts from USTA <br />certification. To date, Boulder has not replaced these tennis courts and Lafayette <br />has not fulfilled its commitment to building the multipurpose fields. <br />o The objective of the current Outdoor Amenities board is to encourage the cities of <br />Boulder and Lafayette to fulfill their earlier commitment by replacing the lost <br />tennis courts in Boulder, and for Lafayette to comply with its prior agreement to <br />build multiple use athletic fields. The outdoor Amenities Board meets once a <br />month at the Louisville Recreation Center and reports back to PPLAB. PPLAB <br />member Julien Denat volunteered to serve on the Outdoor Amenities Board. <br />■ Abby has met with RAB re: Concerns of users of the Bocci Ball Courts <br />that have requested improved maintenance for the courts. <br />8.
