Debated
Leslie told the committee that Donner Park's pickleball courts had become problematic, with many players migrating to other venues; the core issues were the challenge-court system allowing extended monopolization and the absence of a clear rotation process. Leslie had already polled the pickleball community and received positive signals about rule changes; the emerging consensus was that players must rotate out after one singles game when courts are full. The proposed rules would include a reporting mechanism with contact information for city recreation staff. No formal rule adoption occurred; watch for a follow-up action at a future meeting.
Decided
No formal vote taken; Chair Cruz directed members to email feedback within 72 hours to Recreation Manager Leslie.
