Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

In response to 211451:

Agenda Item 211451

That the Director of Parks and Recreation reopen all basketball hoops at city parks and school playgrounds.

The City is in the process of progressively opening basketball hoops throughout the City is starting the week of April 5^th. The initial focus will be the school yards. We need to continue to monitor the spread of COVID19 in our community and safeguard against spread.  Therefore, we need to be responsible in reopening hoops. We are hopeful with a downward trend of positive COVID19 cases and an increase in vaccinations, that all hoops can be open by mid-May.

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Interim DPW Commissioner & Parks & Recreation Director
