Walden opens the meeting at 7:04pm. <br />B. Weiden called this meeting in order to vote on last Monday's discussion regarding temporary court <br />markings for pickleball on Bancroft and Washington Park tennis courts. <br />A. Binda asks to hear how people are leaning towards their vote vs taking a blind vote. <br />Angela appreciates both views expressed from both tennis and pickleball. She knows there is a <br />large amount of time energy and money the tennis court has put into the courts <br />A. Binda says she is leaving towards a compromise - but is not exactly sure what that might look <br />like. <br />E. Gaffen suggests the Committee take the decisions one at a time - he suggests M. Coltman <br />make two individual motions one to vote on temporary court markings at Bancroft Avenue <br />tennis courts and an additional motion to vote on temporary court markings at Washington Park <br />tennis courts. <br />M. Coltman makes a motion requesting the ability to tape or chalk courts 4 & 5 on the Bancroft <br />Avenue courts for use by pickleball under the lights through November 17th. E. Gaffen seconds <br />the motion. <br />Page I 1 <br />
