Holland Park will soon have 6 new pickleball courts, following action Tuesday morning by the Fishers Board of Public Works & Safety.  Parks and Recreation Department Director Sarah Sandquist says the courts should be ready by the end of October.  Charles C. Brandt Construction will build the project for $395,000, with the funds coming from the 2022 budget.  The courts will be located south of the soccer fields.

In other matters before the board:

–Tabatha Miller of the city Fleet Management department received approval to spend up to $811,000 on up to 20 Police Interceptor SUV vehicles.  Miller told the board her department missed vehicles available in January because they sold quickly and does not want that to happen again.
