Summary
The Council is spending developer-paid impact fees and capital reserve money to light the tennis and pickleball courts, after a $4.1 million recreation bond failed at the ballot years ago. Councilor Soule questioned whether this circumvents that failed vote; the Town Manager said voters annually authorize the reserves.
