Discussion on Building a Tennis Center. Action: City Manager Cohen reported that they approached the County Park System. They currently have six (6) tennis courts adjacent to our City in Haulover Park, four (4) of which are currently usable, the other two (2) are not. We looked into the options ofredoing the courts in either asphalt or in Har- Tru which is a clay substance, and the cost of asphalt is $260,685, and the cost ofHar- Tru is $315,000. The differential between the two is that Har- Tru is a more expensive application, they actually put down asphalt and then put the clay on top of it. The advantage is that a clay surface is much more forgiving for the human body and makes for a more enjoyable tennis game for those involved. The annual maintenance is also a significant difference: asphalt is fairly easy to maintain, and the Har- Tru requires constant oversight, the difference in cost being $2,687 vs. $28,217 in maintenance.
