Debated
Leslie announced the launch of a city tennis professional position — structured as an independent contractor — that would organize adult social events, weekend clinics, and youth summer camps. Hickam reported a strong candidate was already preparing application materials; proposals were due by end of March with programming expected to begin in April. The hire would also help scale the successful \$25-per-week youth tennis camp, which saw high demand the prior year. The April 14 agenda lists "City Tennis Professional" (Item 6.C) as an announcement item — expect a hiring update tonight.
Decided
No vote required — informational item; proposals deadline set for end of March, programming target April.
